@Hasindu2008 @lachlanjmc @Psy_Fer_ A similar plot can be generated with Uncalled4's "dotplot" (github.com/skovaka/UNCALL…). We currently only support signal-to-reference alignment, but I'll look into basecalled alignments in the future. We're still in a pre-release stage, but I'm happy for feedback from early users!

f5c resquiggle aligns @nanpore raw-signals to basecalled-reads. Default output is an intuitive, yet bulky TSV. Specifying -c will output a compact PAF-like format with the alignment encoded in a custom CIGAR-like format. Details are documented here hasindu2008.github.io/f5c/docs/output.

f5c-v1.1 is released and features a new module called resquiggle that aligns raw-signals to basecalled reads [contributed by @hiruna72]. github.com/hasindu2008/f5…

Come to my talk on December 2nd! Despite being in the adaptive sampling session, I'll be talking more about general analysis and visualization of nanopore signal. If you think that's uncalled for, well...
Oxford Nanopore Events@NanoporeConf

At #nanoporeconf, @Samkovaka will present UNCALLED4: an adaptive sampling toolkit for nanopore signal alignment & analysis. UNCALLED4 features interactive alignment visualisations & comparisons, & epigenetic modification detection stats: bit.ly/3Gy20sX

@aaronquinlan @shfo @mike_schatz @acarroll_ATG The limiting factor for ONT is pore lifetimes, and ReadUntil lets pores spend less time sequencing unwanted reads. It doesn't substantially affect the ratio of on-target/off-target reads, just their lengths. Also, ejected DNA is partially unwound, so unlikely it would rebind

@shfo @mike_schatz @acarroll_ATG @samkovaka Yes, but the kicked molecule has the "guide" enzyme still attached, whereas other potential molecules may not. Seems a "wash", but I am obviously missing the critical bit as usual. Time to read the manuscript in detail!

This is software which watches the signal of DNA through a single pore, decides it doesn't want that piece of DNA, and gives a command to alter that particular pore. Applied simultaneously to a large array of pores. When you stop to think about it, it's petty mind boggling.

Excited to announce: Targeted nanopore sequencing by real-time mapping of raw electrical signal with UNCALLED. Awesome work with @samkovaka, Yunfan Fan, @bohan_ni & @timp0 that will forever change how sequencing is done. @JHUCompSci @JHUBME @nanopore nature.com/articles/s4158…

Awesome to see this #nanopore method for targeted sequencing (UNCALLED) be published! Congrats @samkovaka @mike_schatz and team, and (belated) thanks for the explainer back at AGBT in Feb—where I first heard about UNCALLED.

@liu3zhen @mike_schatz @bohan_ni @timp0 @JHUCompSci @JHUBME @nanopore Thanks! We're working on adding support for direct RNA reads, and depleting ribosomal RNA will be one of the first things we try. In the paper we predict you could enrich the exome by ~3 fold in a simulation, but we haven't been able to try a real run yet due to covid limits.

@mattloose We are, thanks! I've temporarily moved to a different state and just being safe. Hope you're doing (relatively) well too.
