What I'm also doing is assessing 3rd party sequencing vendor ONT output quality using some variations of these tools. Feel free to get in touch if you have a sequencing vendor you want to either recommend or have assessed!

I've been working on a small Julia library for working with raw nanopore sequencing signals.

It's still under development and not very mature, but maybe someone may find it useful and want to experiment with it. It provides functionality for signal-to-sequence alignments, basic signal scaling and segmentation, poly(A) tail detection, etc. If you stumble at issues or have ideas for new functionality or feedback, please reach out.

Performance test of QNome nanopore sequencer. Looks very interesting - I'm always on the lookout for alternate platforms for Binomica. More reason for us to build platform agnostic squiggle/QC tools for the future!

🧬 DNA Day is tomorrow, April 25! A perfect time to think about sequence data.

Our Nanopore workshop (30 June – 2 July) takes you from library prep to (meta)genome assemblies and MAGs. No prior bioinformatics experience required.
