BACKGROUND: Nanopore-based DNA sequencing relies on basecalling the electric current signal. Basecalling requires neural networks to achieve competitive accuracies. To improve sequencing accuracy further, new models are continuously proposed with new...
We present SquiggleNet, the first deep-learning model that can classify nanopore reads directly from their electrical signals. SquiggleNet operates faster than DNA passes through the pore, allowing real-time classification and read ejection. Using 1 ...
Long-read sequencing enables variant detection in genomic regions that are considered difficult-to-map by short-read sequencing. To fully exploit the benefits of longer reads, here we present a deep learning method NanoCaller, which detects SNPs usin...
BACKGROUND: Measuring DNA replication dynamics with high throughput and single-molecule resolution is critical for understanding both the basic biology behind how cells replicate their DNA and how DNA replication can be used as a therapeutic target f...
We develop a general computational approach for improving the accuracy of basecalling with Oxford Nanopore's 1D and related sequencing protocols. Our software PoreOver ( https://github.com/jordisr/poreover ) finds the consensus of two neural networks...
Nanopore sequencing enables direct measurement of RNA molecules without conversion to cDNA, thus opening the gates to a new era for RNA biology. However, the lack of molecular barcoding of direct RNA nanopore sequencing data sets severely affects the...
We describe ReorientExpress, a method to perform reference-free orientation of transcriptomic long sequencing reads. ReorientExpress uses deep learning to correctly predict the orientation of the majority of reads, and in particular when trained on a...
BACKGROUND: Long read sequencing technologies such as Oxford Nanopore can greatly decrease the complexity of de novo genome assembly and large structural variation identification. Currently Nanopore reads have high error rates, and the errors often c...
RNA modifications play a crucial role in various cellular functions. Here, we present ModiDeC, a deep-learning-based classifier able to identify and distinguish multiple RNA modifications (N6-methyladenosine, inosine, pseudouridine, 2'-O-methylguanos...
Nanopore sequencing allows identification of base modifications, such as methylation, directly from raw current data. Prevailing approaches, including deep learning (DL) methods, require training data covering all possible sequence contexts. These da...
