This talk will introduce the fundamentals of nanopore sequencing for a general audience and highlight some projects led by SRI students showing how the technology can enable student-driven projects across diverse interests. Join us to learn about the versatility of this accessible technology and how it may be incorporated into a variety of research\/class settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The seminar is open to everyone and will be held on November 22, 2024 from 11 AM to 12 PM in room U208\/209.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How to register for the seminar?
