Developing a long-read nanopore sequencing platform for Indigenous genomics

Ext-Led UNSW project: Long-read nanopore sequencing is an emerging technology that promises to advance our understanding of genetic variation & improve diagnosis of genetic disease. We will develop an innovative nanopore sequencing platform for Indigenous Australian genomics. Through the analysis of diverse cohorts, clinical cases studies and by establishing capabilities for portable sequencing in remote communities, we aim to extend the benefits of the latest advances in genomic technology to Indigenous Australians.
