Every year there so many amazing @nanoporetech.com updates at London Calling. Here I'll focus on some of my top picks for Microbiology & Infectious Disease 🦠 First, we saw how the technology continued to advance research in 2024 with ~2/3 of ONT publications in micro/infectious #nanoporeconf

🧪 I will be presenting some of my research on the oral microbiome at @nanoporetech.com WYMM tour: Bay Area This coming Thursday June 5th. I hope to see you there! 🦷🧫🫔 nanoporetech.com/about/events...

Did you miss Dr. Michael Wiley’s (@unmc.bsky.social) talk at #nanoporeconf? Watch it now online: nanoporetech.com/resource-cen... In it, Dr. Wiley demonstrates the use of BugSeq in Nebraska for outbreak detection and investigation. #PublicHealth #AMR #LondonCalling2025 @nanoporetech.com

🚨 We’re hiring ! 🚨 Join our cutting-edge research team as a molecular biologist at @nanoporetech.com HQ in Oxford. Perfect for a fresh PhD or MSc with a couple of years’ experience. Work at the interface of chemistry, molecular/synthetic biology and AI šŸ‘‰ ejnh.fa.em2.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candid...

Got a chance to take the @nanoporetech.com hyp(er accuracy) model for a spin. Pretty decent improvement in read quality šŸš€ but expect to spend quite some more GPU hours šŸ˜‰ (Reads were mapped with minimap2 and identity scores from nanoplot were used for phred score calculations)

Oxford @nanoporetech.com hyper model vs sup. Better Q-scores by simply better modelling and more AI compute.

With all that is happening it is very exciting to see the Price Lab's very first, in-house, Oxford Nanopore direct RNA seq running! Not bad for a ~3 year expired flow cell!

SWARM (Single-molecule Workflow for Analysing RNA Modifications) detects pseudouridine, m6A, and m5C on individual molecules from direct RNA nanopore signals (in both chemistries RNA002 and RNA004) github.com/comprna/SWARM see more on poster P2-396 at #rna2025 #RNA25 #RNAmods

Recombinases your thing? In the latest from my lab, Veronica Greco shows how @nanopore sequencing + automated liquid handling provides the perfect platform for characterising these systems at scale! Awesome collaboration with @jennbrophy.bsky.social @sarah-guiziou.bsky.social doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Much of biology remains hidden, especially the proteome. Jeff Nivala explores progress toward Oxford Nanopore-based single-molecule protein sensing — offering a path to decode proteins like DNA and transform our understanding of cellular machinery. #NanoporeConf

With organ shortages critical, Brendan explores gene-edited pig transplants & blood-based monitoring. He describes how Oxford Nanopore technology offers a rapid, minimally invasive method – paving the way for faster, safer, & more accessible transplants. #NanoporeConf

Cost-effective, fast, and accessible. Anna Flavia Peres shares how Oxford Nanopore sequencing could offer vital potential to characterise rare paediatric germ cell tumours in regions with limited infrastructure.

Robustness and scalability matter in clinical genomics. Respiratory metagenomics has shown us what’s possible —but to scale, we need a method that’s robust, transferable, and standardised. That’s where Judith Breuer believes Oxford Nanopore comes in: flexible, scalable, and ready to roll out.

Think of it as a genomic radar shield. With UK government backing, Ian shares how Oxford Nanopore sequencing is being implemented across hospitals in the UK — not just for potential diagnostics, but for biosurveillance and biosecurity. Ready to detect new pathogens and respond to future pandemics.

Make sure to save the date for next year's London Calling! #NanoporeConf

Everything we’ve looked for so far, we’ve been able to detect. Some leukaemia patients still lack a defined subtype — leaving clinicians with few options but aggressive treatment. But with Oxford Nanopore sequencing, Steven Hair believes we could unlock those missing diagnoses. #NanoporeConf

A breakthrough moment in brain infectious. Faced with a mystery infection, Judith Breuer sequenced a biopsy sample—and identified a pathogen never before linked to brain infections. Find out more. #NanoporeConf

Our spotlight winner, Ruben Cools, presented his full talk exploring how they are bridging genotype and phenotype through long Oxford Nanopore read, single-molecule multiomics. #NanoporeConf

For rare disease cases, speed and answers matter. Danny shares how, with nanopore sequencing, we can rapidly investigate suspected genetic conditions—zooming in on key genes & regions to find what others may have missed. With the potential to say to families: Here’s what we found. #NanoporeConf

Why wait weeks for a diagnosis? Danny Miller discusses the future potential of Oxford Nanopore sequencing, and how clinicians could get actionable results within hours—not days or weeks. No need to batch samples. Same-day sequencing, same-day answers.

Sebastian shared how Oxford Nanopore technology adaptive sampling characterises complex genomic regions, encompassing SVs, repeat expansions, high-homology regions, CNVs and more behind disease - resulting in a time and cost-effective solution. #NanoporeConf

Nate shares how they are solving unanswered questions with Oxford Nanopore technology by unlocking ā€œso much more in our genome than previously beforeā€. Watch how this is providing novel information about rare diseases. #NanoporeConf

Ian Abbs shared how we're entering a new era in disease diagnosis, biosurveillance & biosecurity. After 6 years of metagenomic development, he team is unlocking rapid, clinically relevant pathogen detection—directly from human samples

Eva Maria Novoa shared how the RNA 004 chemistry is unlocking questions we couldn’t answer before — improved flow cell stability and higher throughput is enabling her to push the boundaries of RNA sequencing. #NanoporeConf

Lennart Kester showcased their deep-learning tools, that combined with Oxford Nanopore sequencing, classify paediatric tumours in under two hours – potentially enabling same-day, cost-effective and intraoperative characterisation in the future. #NanoporeConf

Sissel Juul shared how Oxford Nanopore is setting the 'gold standard' as a single platform for telomere-to-telomere sequencing, with Sean McKenzie showcasing updates in assembly models providing contiguous, accurate and cost-effective T2T genomes. #NanoporeConf

#NanoporeConf Lakmal Jayasinghe ONT is the *only* sequencing technology that detects RNA modifications directly. They're now up to 8 modifications that can be detected simultaneously. [This is something I think ONT should be shouting from the rooftops every day] RNA barcoding is in beta testing.

In the studio, Matt Loose shares how: ā€œSurgeons were literally knocking, saying I’ve got a patient today. Once people see what’s possible, they start to believe it — and get excited.ā€ when talking about his new CNS tumour profiling method.

Judith Brewer shared how their faster metagenomic method using Oxford Nanopore technology can detect AMR with the future potential to enable early, targeted treatment for brain, blood, & respiratory infections & reduce antibiotic use in critical care. #NanoporeConf

Absolutely brilliant work at GOSH on targeted rapid metagenomics for same day results on respiratory infections at a hospital. 30 new centres across the UK to adopt this. #nextgen medicine. #Nanoporeconf

We caught up with Tilda and Alimat from the 22,000 genome project. They discussed the robustness of nanopore data, scaling for 100s of samples and the ability to sequence even low-quality samples. #nanoporeconf

At London Calling, Rosemary Sinclair Dokos and Lakmal Jayasinghe shared how we’re doubling down on what matters: delivering a future-ready platform with proven performance across DNA, RNA, and now proteins. Click here to discover what’s new – and why it matters: nanoporetech.com/news/london-...
