MGI Breakfast Workshop

Oxford Nanopore Technologies Breakfast Workshop

Nanopore sequencing: What you’re missing matters!

Date: Tuesday 13th February 2024

Time: 7.30am - 8.30am

Topic 1: Missing structural variants in bovine genomes

Topic 2: Allele specific expression in foetal development

Summary:

With the ability to read any length of DNA or RNA, short to ultra-long, nanopore sequencing captures more genomic variation — including structural variation and methylation — so you can get the context and clarity you need, every time. This comprehensive view powers the bigger and bolder questions reaserchers have always wanted to ask. And real-time data means rapid insight to time-critical results, all in a platform that sits on your lab bench. Hear first hand from Australian researchers on the power of uncovering what has been missing in genomic data.

Lunch Workshop: A Self-Mentoring Practice

Date: Monday 12th February 2024

Time: 1:30pm - 3:00pm

We've all understood that we need mentors and champions. But, until the good ones show up (or, until we're ready to meet them without feeling and then being weird), there's a lot we can do to help ourselves. In this workshop, Prof. Traude Beilharz will share the framework she used to clean up the relationships with herself, peers, and mentors to improve her personal and professional happiness.
