1/ First preprint from @jdemeul.bsky.social lab 🥳! We present our new multi-modal single-cell long-read method SPLONGGET (Single-cell Profiling of LONG-read Genome, Epigenome, and Transcriptome)! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Long-read single-cell genome, transcriptome and open chromatin profiling links genotype to phenotypes. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.09.08.674950v1

Our spotlight winner, Ruben Cools, presented his full talk exploring how they are bridging genotype and phenotype through long Oxford Nanopore read, single-molecule multiomics. #NanoporeConf

The great work continues In the highly acclaimed 1991 play Angels in America, which explores AIDS in the United States in the 1980s, one of the characters muses about the nature of knowledge and novelty: “Imagination can’t cr...

Breakthrough of the Year is lenacapavir, which provides six months of HIV prevention in a single injection. This is the third time Science has named an HIV/AIDS intervention as the Breakthrough of the Year. Here's my editorial with links to the full package and quotes from Angels in America.

Integrative Assessment of Total and Intact HIV-1 Reservoir by a 5-Region Multiplexed Rainbow DNA Digital PCR Assay AbstractBackground. Persistent latent reservoirs of intact HIV-1 proviruses, capable of rebounding despite suppressive antiretroviral therapy (ART), hinder

4/ Special thanks to our dedicated study participants at
UZ Gent , the co-authors, and members of the HIV Cure Research Center!

3/ Our paper also showcases the scalability of HIV-PULSE. Read about how this single assay identified over 1,300 distinct HIV-1 genomes, shedding light on viral diversity & reservoir composition and opening doors to new discoveries!

2/ Our HIV-PULSE assay brings an innovative, cost-effective approach for generating HIV-1 proviral genomes. By harnessing Nanopore's long-read tech, we offer near full-length sequencing at a reduced cost per genome while maintaining sensitivity & accuracy.

HIV-PULSE: a long-read sequencing assay for high-throughput near full-length HIV-1 proviral genome c... Abstract. A deep understanding of the composition of the HIV-1 reservoir is necessary for the development of targeted therapies and the evaluation of curative e
