Current methods for determining RNA structure with short-read sequencing cannot capture most differences between distinct transcript isoforms. Researchers at A*STAR, Singapore present RNA structure analysis using nanopore sequencing...

Structural variants (SVs) may be an underestimated cause of hereditary cancer syndromes given the current limitations of short-read next-generation sequencing. Here researchers from the University of...

Modified nucleotides in mRNA are an essential addition to the standard genetic code of four nucleotides in animals, plants, and their viruses. The emerging field of epitranscriptomics examines...

End-to-end solution will enable mass/on-demand screening to support the re-opening of global economies. Group 42 (G42), a leading AI and Cloud Computing company based in the United Arab Emirates, and Oxford Nanopore Technologies, an advanced sequencing technology company based in the United ...

Oxford Nanopore has today made Flongle starter packs available to purchase https://store.nanoporetech.com/flongle.html, after initial testing in an early-access programme.  Flongle introduces a new paradigm of smaller, on-demand DNA or RNA sequencing tests, with the potential to transform a range of ...

Oxford Nanopore has launched new ‘109’ cDNA Kits for its real-time, scalable sequencing technology. The new kits provide high throughput whilst generating complete sequences of full-length cDNA strands, with a low input option of just 1ng PolyA+ RNA. The new ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
