Maria Reyes Capilla-Guerra at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute used #AdaptiveSampling to develop a 264-region acute leukaemia research digital panel enabling methylation-based classification & variant detection from the same run. https://bit.ly/48daVPk #WeRunIt #ashg2026 RUO

Go with the gold standard for #methylation calling. Oxford #Nanopore sequencing provides best-in-class 5mC detection directly from native DNA, with no bisulfite conversion or additional sequencing runs. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3W1DOeH #WeRunIt #ASHG2026

There's more to a repeat than length. This preprint introduces Mahi-mahi, a tandem repeat genotyper for nanopore sequencing data that reports repeat length, motif composition, interruptions and methylation from the same sequencing data. https://bit.ly/4yySdww Research Use Only

André Reis from the Garvan Institute of Medical Research shares how using #AdaptiveSampling found likely causes in 41% of unsolved spastic ataxia research study cases, with DNA changes and methylation read together in one go. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4i9VAUp #WeRunIt #ASHG2026

Your next discovery is in today's run. At #ASHG2026, hear how researchers are moving beyond isolated variant detection towards comprehensive, haplotype-resolved multiomic insight, and how this could bring precision genomics into practice today. https://bit.ly/4rwhh5o #WeRunIt

Your run starts here. At #ASHG2026, learn how Adaptive Sampling lets you define, target and enrich while you sequence, no fixed panel required. See how those same reads provide gold-standard methylation and a low-pass whole genome. https://bit.ly/4hUtsG3

#ASHG2026 is just around the corner. Next week we'll show you what is already possible in a single run, from reimagining targeting sequencing with #AdaptiveSampling to a new gold standard in #methylation calling. Your next discovery is in today’s run. https://bit.ly/4s5MHzI

100 million people in Africa live with rare diseases — most uncharacterised. At Stellenbosch University, nanopore sequencing has the potential to change that, delivering faster answers and bringing equitable access to genomic medicine closer to reality.

This guide introduces solutions that can be used from biomarker discovery through final product quality control (QC) testing, consolidating multiple legacy assays into one platform and enabling faster, more confident decision-making. Learn more: https://bit.ly/46ENk9D

Not all biological answers lie in the DNA sequence. In this knowledge exchange, we explore how gold-standard Oxford Nanopore methylation sequencing reveals hidden insights that traditional methods miss—all from a single run. https://bit.ly/4j7E45j

Abstract submission for London Calling 2027 is now open! Submit an abstract for a chance to present your breakthroughs and real-world impact at the largest nanopore sequencing conference of the year. Check out last year's video to see what it's all about. https://bit.ly/3TKd69E

Antibody development, end-to-end with one solution. Antibody discovery involves screening, confirming and characterising at multiple stages, and nanopore sequencing can support all of them. See how Pfizer has been applying this across their own workflow: https://bit.ly/4AlvF4t

See the targets you need and the biology you didn't expect. At #ASHG2026, Ellie Juarez & Miguel Reis show how Adaptive Sampling is reimagining targeted sequencing by letting you define, target, and enrich while you sequence - with no fixed panel required. https://bit.ly/4dR8LYW

What if you could see RNA exactly as it exists in the cell? Discover how direct RNA Oxford Nanopore sequencing captures transcripts without conversion or amplification, revealing biology that might otherwise be missed. Find out more: https://bit.ly/4x7PBF3
