HAC6.0 is faster and as accurate as SUP5.2. Dammit I’m going to have to rebasecall just to use Dorado SmallVar. What’s that? Just a variant caller more accurate than Clair3. @nanopore keeping up the tradition of blowing minds every May.

I was pre-Flongle and post Gridiron, but currently holding out for whatever comes next in the 2026 tech talk #nanoporeconf #londoncalling @nanopore

These numbers are incredible, and the gains in speed alone worth the investment. So happy to see this is not restricted to fancy facilities in the West but being implemented world wide. For those of us who have lost loved ones to cancer, this hits hard.

Thomas Alexander covers four sites (India, Pakistan included) using adaptive sampling and methylation on a single @nanopore assay (for ~$500USD) to profile pediatric leukemia. Turning the worst moment in a child’s life into one with actionable solutions in under a day #wow

#Nanopore sequencing enables genotyping of notoriously difficult samples. Kristina’s work with bear scat illustrates practical approaches for handling uncooperative DNA in conservation genetics research. Catch her #LCM2026 poster. @nanopore #conservationgenetics

I’ve waffled on whether to dive into adaptive sampling or not- but reinspired today to give it a shot #NanoporeConf

🤯🤯🤯 PEARL is here. #Nanoporeconf The applications are astounding - how will this change what we know of nonhuman biology?

Peptides, barcoded, multiplexed, sensitively detected with relative abundance in a pore. This is really happening. #Nanoporeconf #unbelievable WITH PTMs. Almost nothing else is left to do - what a moment! @nanopore

Ok. 🤯🤯🤯 It’s not here yet, but it will be. 🧪#consgen is never going to be the same - this doesn’t only belong in a doctor’s office. Sample to answer in a single device @nanopore #nanoporeconf
