on August 25, 2020Viral metagenomics has become an increasingly important area of study for microbiologists, and it feels especially relevant for 2020 so far. Isolating and sequencing viral DNA or RNA has typically been a tricky and often time-consuming process. We recently partnered with Twist Bioscience to tackle this problem, with the release of the Twist Respiratory Virus Research Panel and One Codex analysis.
on July 6, 2020The One Codex and ATCC teams are working together to support the scientific community during the COVID-19 pandemic by providing reference genomes corresponding to the new authenticated ATCC Coronavirus genomic materials. We’re also working on a whole new virology section in the ATCC Genome Portal with virus-specific features to power your research. In this post, we’ll preview some of these incoming changes to the ATCC Genome Portal and will give you a glimpse of even more new features on their way.
SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the disease COVID-19, is now widespread within our communities and has personally affected members and friends of our team.
In an effort to contribute however we can, our team has been working to make analysis of genomics data from COVID-19 samples simpler, more accessible, and easier to share with the broader community. Today, we’re announcing a new analysis summarizing the detection of SARS-CoV-2 in samples that contain evidence of the virus. We’re making this analysis available at no charge and it will be automatically run on any samples in which we detect SARS-CoV-2. In return, all that we ask is that you share relevant metadata and the consensus sequences from your samples (and we’ll help enable that).
on March 1, 2020The One Codex and ATCC teams have been hard at work improving the ATCC Genome Portal. Since launching 6 months ago, we’ve more than doubled the number of genomes on the portal (adding more than 300 new genomes on top of our original 250) and created new features to help you navigate our collection of high-quality reference genomes. In this post, we’ll show you our new Gold genomes, help you browse the collection by tag, and show you how to access more granular contig details for each of our genomes.
In this post we take a look at a new paper from Eli Moss, Dylan Maghini, and Ami Bhatt that describes a new approach for assembling complete genomes using Oxford Nanopore’s MinION sequencer. Read on to find out more!
