Sequencing Data Analysis: From Myths to Mastery
Sequencing technology has evolved rapidly over the past decade. Yet persistent misconceptions remain about computational requirements, data management and the need for specialist expertise. Although modern tools and infrastructure have matured significantly, these beliefs create unnecessary barriers for researchers.
In this Teach Me in 10 episode, Dr. Anthony Doran, Associate Director of Bioinformatics at Oxford Nanopore Technologies, addresses these common myths. Drawing on nearly a decade of experience, Anthony explains how the field has transformed through better tools, infrastructure and metrics.
Watch this episode to discover:
- How modern tools enable any researcher to analyze sequencing data without specialist expertise
- Why accuracy means more than Q-scores and which metrics matter for real-world performance
- How to keep pace with new advances without disrupting daily workflows
