One of the key challenges in the field of genetics is the inference of haplotypes from next generation sequencing data. The MinION Oxford Nanopore...

Direct sequencing of RNA molecules such as virus genomes could help to unpick role of mysterious chemical modifications in genetic material. The genome of the flu virus has been fully sequenced in its native RNA form for the first time. ...

Scientists have assembled the most complete human genome to be mapped with a single technology using a new pocket-size portable DNA sequencer, which they say could one day make genome mapping quick and simple enough to do at home. Using ...

A conference hosted by Oxford Nanopore Technologies. 24th – 25th May Old Billingsgate, London Delegate rates: NCM offer: £599* Limited rate: £699** Poster rate: £749** Standard rate: £999** Pre-meeting workshop: £400 The pre-meeting workshop is available to members of the ...

Understanding gene regulation and function requires a genome-wide method capable of capturing both gene expression levels and isoform diversity at the single cell level. Short-read RNAseq, while the current standard for gene expression quantification, is limited in its ability to ...

Some sequencing applications, such as the detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms, can be managed with short-read technology. Other applications, such as the detection of structural variants, may demand long-read technology, and some applications, such as the assembly of a new ...

To assess the performance of the Oxford Nanopore Technologies MinION sequencing platform, researchers from McGill University sequenced cDNAs from the External RNA Controls Consortium (ERCC) RNA Spike-In mix. This mix mimics mammalian mRNA species and consists of 92 polyadenylated transcripts ...

from BioIT World by By Aaron Krol Oxford Nanopore Technologies has built an impressive hardware operation from its home in the UK. Its MinION device, a handheld DNA sequencer smaller than a remote control, once seemed like the stuff of ...

A better way to read the genome If your genome was a library, some genes would be ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’ novels. UConn researchers have sequenced the RNA of the most complicated gene known in nature, using a hand-held sequencer ...

Portable ultrafast genetic sequencer goes to market DEALSTREETASIA-6 hours ago MinION, a portable DNA sequencer that fits in a human palm and can gives the advantage of analysing samples by on-the-spot sequencing is … MinION: $1,000 pocket-sized DNA sequencer successfully ...
