Topic Description Date Venue
Wet Lab Session: Metagenomic Library Preparation with ONT Perform quality check of DNA extract, including concentration, purity, and integrity. Understand the components required to perform sequencing using ONT. Perform Native Barcoding Library Preparation for Metagenome Sequencing. Perform loading and running of sample into ONT Promethion Flowcell. Wednesday, 15 October 2025 Teaching Lab, Building B, Second Floor, Faculty of Biology UGM

2.1 Programme Description and Schedule

The wet-lab workshop will focus on direct hands-on Oxford Nanopore Technology (ONT) library preparation, guiding participants through each stage of the workflow using pre-extracted DNA from soil and environmental samples. Participants will gain practical experience in preparing high-quality metagenomic libraries and will take part in a live loading and run setup on the ONT PromethION. This immersive session offers a complete overview of the sequencing process — from ready-to-sequence DNA to real-time data generation. The workshop is jointly organized by the Integrated Genome Factory (IGF) and Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT).
