Through the Nanopore – Latest Developments, Applications, and Directions.
Nanopore sequencing is rapidly becoming an analysis option of choice as accuracy and throughput have increased significantly in recent times.
This presentation will give an overview of the latest developments in the platform, highlight its unique abilities (ultra-long reads of DNA and direct RNA including modification analysis in real-time with scalable, low-cost formats) as well as showcase several recent publications in animal and plant agricultural research.
Topics covered will include:
• System choices, throughput, scalability, portability, automation
• Data - quality, read-length, bioinformatics
• Applications in medical research, plants, animals and microorganisms
• Direct DNA & RNA sequencing, modifications including methylation
• Exciting recent developments and future plans
