On October 21–22, 2025, the practical
conference “From Sample to Sequence: Discover the Power of Oxford Nanopore
Technologies” was held at the Kazakh Research Institute of Animal Husbandry and
Feed Production in Almaty. The event was organized by TechPrime in collaboration with Oxford
Nanopore Technologies.
Dr. Aydyn
Orazov Yergaliuly, PhD, Associate Professor at the Astana
International University, took part in the conference.
Participants became acquainted with the
latest nanopore sequencing technologies, the adaptive sampling method, and approaches to studying the
genomes of plants, animals, and microbial communities. Particular attention was
given to practical workshops on working with PromethION series devices and data
analysis in EPI2ME (Bioinformatics).
In addition, representatives from GenDx, Omixon, and Asuragen presented their solutions for HLA
typing and
genetic testing of hereditary diseases.
The event served as an excellent platform
for exchanging experiences and discussing the prospects of applying nanopore
technologies in biological and agricultural research.
Dr. Aydyn
Orazov Yergaliuly expressed his gratitude to TechPrime for the invitation and the high level
of organization of the event.
