Background
Advances in our technological capacity to interrogate CNS tumor biology have led to the ever increasing use of genomic sequencing in diagnostic decision making. Presently, CNS tumors are classified based on their epigenetic signatures, le...

M., Berghaus, N., …Sahm, F. (2025). Prospective, multicenter validation of a platform for rapid molecular profiling of central nervous system tumors. Nature Medicine. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41591-025-03562-5

Molecular data integration plays a central role in central nervous system (CNS) tumor diagnostics but currently used assays pose limitations due to technical complexity, equipment and reagent costs, as well as lengthy turnaround times. We previously... Read More about Prospective, multicenter validation of a platform for rapid molecular profiling of central nervous system tumors.

An optimised toolkit for high molecular weight DNA extraction and ultra-long-read nanopore sequencing using glass beads and hexamminecobalt(III) chloride (2025)
Journal Article
Cahyani, I., Tyson, J., Holmes, N., Quick, J., Moore, C., Loman, N., & Loose, M. (2025). An optimised toolkit for high molecular weight DNA extraction and ultra-long-read nanopore sequencing using glass beads and hexamminecobalt(III) chloride. Genome Research, 35(5), 1154-1166. https://doi.org/10.1101/gr.279943.124

Since the advent of long-read sequencing, achieving longer read lengths has been a key goal for many users. Ultra-long-read sets (N50 ≥ 100 kb) produced from Oxford Nanopore sequencers have improved genome assemblies in recent years. However, despite...
