Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) methods have revolutionized the way scientists study the cell transcriptome. In this field, full-length scRNA-seq protocols stand as the gold- standard for sensitivity. After testing >400 reaction conditions, we developed FLASH-seq, the fastest and most sensitive scRNA-seq protocol currently protocol available. In our most recent work, we push the boundaries of this protocol to study and quantify isoforms, leveraging the recent advances in long-read sequencing technologies. The result is FLASH-seq-ONT, a method that combines the high-sensitivity of plate-based methods with molecule counting and true isoform characterization on the Oxford Nanopore Technologies sequencing platform.
