On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Nanopore sequencing is a method to infer the sequence of nucleotides in DNA or RNA molecules from small variations in ionic current during transit through a nanoscale pore. We will give an introduction to nanopore sequencing and some of its applications and then explore simple models of the signal generation process. These can provide insight to guide optimisation of the system and inform the design of more flexible neural network models, capable of extracting the rich contextual information required for accurate sequence inference.
