Nanopore Covidseq training:
Our experienced professionals will train you to establish COVID sequencing right from setting up the sequencer to performing sequencing run. This training can be customized to be conducted onsite or online.
Details of training as follows:

1. Introduction to nanopore sequencing and guidance on performing Flow cell QC.
2. Training on RNA to cDNA conversion.
3. Training on PCR amplification of covid genome using overlapping primers.
4. Training on Nanopore library preparation and QC as per Artic protocol by using Native barcoding kit (EXP-NBD104) and Ligation sequencing kit (SQK-LSK109).
5. Training on flow cell loading and initiation of sequencing run.
6. Training on completing the sequencing run, data conversion (Basecalling) and Demultiplexing.

Nanopore COVID analysis training:
We also give customized data analysis training for COVID samples. The Sequence analysis training according to ARTIC pipeline using Commander Analysis software includes:

1. Base calling & barcode separation
2. Adapter trimming
3. Alignment
4. Variant calling
5. Consensus generation
