Lupis Ribeiro Teaches 16S Full-Length Nanopore Sequencing Course for Bacterial Community Identification The NUPEM/UFRJ, through its Functional Genomics Unit, promoted a scientific training activity aimed at the Rio de Janeiro community, focusing on the use of Nanopore technology for the analysis of bacterial communities. The course, taught by Lupis Ribeiro, addressed the application of 16S full-length sequencing for the taxonomic identification of bacteria, an approach that allows for greater resolution in the characterization of microbial communities in environmental, clinical, biotechnological, and basic research samples.
The activity included the participation of members from laboratories of the Leopoldo de Meis Institute of Medical Biochemistry at UFRJ, in Rio de Janeiro, and reinforced the scientific collaboration between NUPEM/UFRJ, UFRJ, and the Oswaldo Cruz Institute/Fiocruz.
With initiatives like this, the Functional Genomics Unit of NUPEM/UFRJ strengthens its mission to train human resources, expand access to cutting-edge genomic technologies, and integrate different research groups in the state of Rio de Janeiro.
