DNA/RNA modifications are crucial for biological processes. To understand their regulatory mechanisms, precise mapping and quantification of these modifications are essential. Although next-generation sequencing can detect the location and stoichiome...
BACKGROUND: Adaptive sampling is an emerging technology to enrich target reads while depleting unwanted reads during real-time nanopore sequencing. The application of different algorithms has spawned various tools for the determination of read reject...
The intricate landscape of tRNA modification presents persistent analytical challenges, which have impeded efforts to simultaneously resolve sequence, modification, and aminoacylation state at the level of individual tRNAs. To address these challenge...
DNA replication stress is a hallmark of cancer that is exploited by chemotherapies. Current assays for replication stress have low throughput and poor resolution whilst being unable to map the movement of replication forks genome-wide. We present a n...
Discovery of disease-related bacterial biomarkers could be a useful approach for early prevention or diagnosis of various afflictions, such as colorectal cancer. This typically involves analyzing small regions of the 16S rRNA gene (e.g. V3V4) through...
Improvements in sequencing technology make the development of new tools for detection of structural variance more and more common. However, since the tools available for the long-read Oxford Nanopore sequencing are limited, and the selection of the o...
Sequence-function data provides valuable information about the protein functional landscape but is rarely obtained during directed evolution campaigns. Here, we present Long-read every variant Sequencing (LevSeq), a pipeline that combines a dual barc...
BACKGROUND: In unforeseen situations, such as nuclear power plant's or civilian radiation accidents, there is a need for effective and computationally inexpensive methods to determine the expression level of a selected gene panel, allowing for rough ...
We leverage machine learning approaches to adapt nanopore sequencing basecallers for nucleotide modification detection. We first apply the incremental learning (IL) technique to improve the basecalling of modification-rich sequences, which are usuall...
Telomere length is an important biomarker of organismal aging and cellular replicative potential, but existing measurement methods are limited in resolution and accuracy. Here, we deploy digital telomere measurement (DTM) by nanopore sequencing to un...
