Houriiyah Tegally and her team are using genomic sequencing to map the evolving SARS-CoV-2 epidemic in Africa. Pathogen Genomic Lab - INRB May 8, 2022 This training was funded by by with a midnight kit. The received two team members from the National Public Health Laboratory of the Republic of Congo from April 27 to May 7 for training in the genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2. Institut National de Recherche Biomédicale (INRB) supported African countries in the implementation of nanopore sequencing for genomic monitoring of pathogens such as SAR-CoV-2.
#Nanopore midnight protocol portable
Miles Carroll, Deputy Director, Public Health England, discusses using nanopore sequencing and genomic epidemiology to track viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 the role of portable realtime sequencing during the 2013-2016 & current Ebola outbreaks & how we can deal with future pathogenic threats.Įpisode with Miles Carroll from discussing emerging #viruses and how modern genomics tools like sequencing can help us to track them ?? /oVqqnKb3L0 In 2 geographically unrelated patients" published in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases" Our paper: "Genomic evidence of co-identification w/ Omicron and Delta SARS-CoV-2 variants Tony Wawina-Bokalanga and team share their research paper using nanopore sequencing for co-identification of Omicron and Delta SARS-CoV-2 variants in 2 geographically unrelated samples. #RISE in partnership with SLBSGMC, Mandi is organizing a workshop on "Genome Sequencing using Oxford Nanopore Sequencer" for lab personnel.
Understanding the evolution and mutation of the SARS-COV2 virus is critical to containing the spread of #COVID19. USAID RISE India, in partnership with SLBSGMC, organised workshops in India on "Genome Sequencing using Oxford Nanopore Sequencer" to improve genomic epidemiology to better understand the evolution and mutation of the SARS-COV2 virus in the region and to improve control measures. Today we performed the first experiments on clinical samples at and for this collaboration?ġ/2 #midnight #surveillance #SARSCoV2 /fCt2IRYmIC They also developed a rapid workflow that decreased the sample to answer time by 40%, increasing throughput and lab flexibility.īoosting SARS-CoV-2 sequencing with #NextGenPCR, decreasing PCR from 3H+to less than 30 min Īnton and his team used the midnight protocol to investigate SARS-CoV-2 clinical research samples. allelic assays of SARS-CoV-2 variants to enhance sewage surv. Use of sewage samples to detect quarantine hotels with COVID-19 patients carrying VOCs. Leo poon and team used real-time, nanopore sequencing to investigate sewage samples to enhance sewage surveillance and detect COVID-19 VOCs. In Sudan, it looks like there might be a shift in the types of #AMR genes found in isolates from #COVID19 patients compared to non-COVID patients. We're starting to analyse our #sequencing data now and the early results look interesting. The Institute for Endemic Diseases, Sudan is using nanopore sequencing to investigate the difference in antimicrobial resistance genes found in isolates from COVID-19 patients compared to non-COVID patients.
