Researchers used a new device called MinION to perform nanopore sequencing to characterize bacteria from urine samples four times more quickly than using traditional methods of culturing bacteria.

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 ...

New nanopore DNA sequencing technology on a device the size of a USB stick could be used to diagnose infection -- according to new research from the University of East Anglia and Public Health ...

Its MinION, a DNA sequencer the size and weight of a deck of cards, reads DNA as it’s pulled through around 500 nanoscopic pores by measuring an electrical signal produced by each DNA letter.

MinION Mk1C allows you to sequence anything ... and complete scalability to suit your needs. Oxford Nanopore has developed a new generation of DNA/RNA sequencing technology. It is the only sequencing ...

In my opinion, this is the most important nanopore-based paper focused on human biology since the MinION was introduced. It is easy to envision broad use of their telomere-length assay in the clinic." ...
