We are getting wind that the developers of the MinION DNA sequencer have been able to work out early issues in reliability, and intend to bring a device market later this year. Having a device like ...

The Oxford Nanopore MinION represents a portable, real-time sequencing device that produces ultra-long reads from individual DNA and RNA molecules without the need for PCR amplification. Each MinION ...

A team of scientists working in Ghana have pioneered on-site genomic surveillance to track changes in the malaria parasite, achieving sampling to sequencing within 48 hours. This will guide local ...

When it comes to DNA, France has always been behind the times. Never mind the hefty fines and prison sentence a man apparently can get for trying to order a paternity test, it seems that just knowing ...

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. -- The MinION, a handheld genomic sequencer, showed promise in a recent field demonstration as it continues testing at the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering ...

Scientists have developed a technique to rapidly and reliably detect genetic changes in malaria parasites in Ghana, using just a gaming laptop and portable MinION sequencer from Oxford Nanopore.

MinION Mk1D is a real-time, portable sequencer that can be used anywhere, lowering the barrier to access genomic information. Utilizing a single MinION Flow Cell, this small device can sequence both ...

Two UC Santa Cruz researchers were honored on September 27 at the Library of Congress for the invention of nanopore sequencing, which became a new and revolutionary method to read DNA and RNA. David ...
