The products provided by Oxford Nanopore Technologies are currently for research use only. As they have not been submitted for review to any regulatory agency/notified body for clinical diagnostics, caution must be exercised when describing the application of nanopore sequencing products in the clinical research field. Please ensure you have read the Clinical research presentations — requirements for materials guidance (provided via the button below) in advance of preparing your presentation
Other considerations when preparing your slides:
Please note that commercial entities must adhere to the scientific nature of the meeting, and so not be overtly advertorial in tone or promote the virtues of a specific product without adequate data to support the argument
To aid audience comprehension, please write all acronyms in full the first time they are used. Notable exceptions include DNA, RNA, PCR,
and cDNAPlease do not add any additional Oxford Nanopore logos to your presentation slides unless you are an agreed affiliated partner of
Oxford NanoporeIf you are using any fonts in your slides that do not come as standard on the Microsoft Office suite, the fonts will likely default to the standard form and the appearance of your slides may change. To avoid this issue, please embed the fonts in your presentation as follows: click the File tab, then click Options, and navigate to the Save tab. At the bottom, you will see Preserve fidelity when sharing this presentation where you can select Embed fonts in the file check box
If you plan to have any video or audio embedded into your presentation, please let [email protected] know which slides these appear in when you submit
Please be advised that the title slide of your presentation will be replaced with a title graphic slide, which will be created with your name, affiliation, and talk title as agreed at invitation
Style and terminology guide preferences:
While you are of course free to write in your own style, please find below some style conventions that we use for consistency.
| Convention | We avoid using | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Oxford Nanopore OR Oxford Nanopore Technologies |
ONT | |
| Oxford Nanopore sequencing OR nanopore sequencing |
NGS/third-generation/long-read sequencing | Oxford Nanopore sequencing has a unique combination of features and benefits, and we describe it as a standalone category |
| Any-length reads Long-read capabilities |
'Long-read sequencing' 'Long-read sequencer' |
'Long-read sequencer' is a misleading categorisation; the platform has multiple properties that include the ability to sequence any-length fragments of DNA/RNA |
