Dear Colleagues,

We are looking forward to the next commiunity of practice session to take place this Thursday at 14:00 CEST!

We will have a special guest host, Niamh Lacy-Roberts, who will discuss the results of SeqAfricas's recent optimization experiments for ONT sequencing. In particular, she will cover testing various input concentrations and multiplexing different numbers of isolates using the rapid barcoding kit. The focus of the experiments was to determine the best combination that yields the highest sequence quality, enabling accurate typing (MLST, AMR genes etc) and cluster analysis. She will also go over the tools used to analyze the ONT data.

You can join the meeting here:
