First look at combining V14 ultra-long @nanopore sequencing with adaptive sampling using a MinION in our lab. Achieving ~15X coverage in our regions of interest in the process. Some great quality reads and some great lengths too.

Fascinating to hear more about the role of our discovery science in personalised cancer medicines at yesterday's @CR_UK Behind the Science event.

Thanks to panellists David Crosby, @ketanpatelimmo1, @JeanEAbraham722, @MariamJHanjani, @SarraRyanLab for an insightful discussion.
