Description
Nanopore-based sequencing has become a highly effective next generation sequencing tool for biological research. Nanopore sequencing converts the electrical signals generated by a nucleotide strand (either DNA or RNA) passing through the nanopore into the base sequence. This methodology was exclusively commercialized by Oxford Nanopore Technologies, allowing sequencing of long reads with real-time sequence detection and analysis. It can also provide base modification detection. The technique has short sample preparation times with low instrument costs. The technology is a relatively new, rapidly expanding and groundbreaking, with ~79% of nanopore-related literature published within the last 5 years (determined from PUBMED publication stats). The design of nanopore devices has given this technology greater versatility/flexibility than other sequencing platforms. Allowing work to occur out in the field (using a portable sequencing device) or within a traditional lab research setting. A portable version of Nanopore have been used in randomised clinical trial to produce real-time near-complete genome sequencing of viruses isolated from clinical samples. This study suggests a future r…
