Genome research and sequencing with nanopore technology
Reveal the ‘hidden’ genome with long nanopore sequencing reads. Fully characterise structural variation (SV), repetitive regions, single nucleotide variation (SNV), haplotype phasing, RNA splice variants, isoform usage, and fusion genes. In addition, identify base modifications alongside nucleotide sequence — with no additional sample prep requirements — through direct sequencing of native DNA or RNA.
- Resolve challenging genomic regions using ultra-long sequencing reads (up to 2 Mb)
- Sequence, characterise, and quantify full-length RNA transcripts for superior differential gene and isoform expression studies
- Eliminate bias and identify base modifications through direct sequencing of native DNA or RNA
- Get faster access to results with real-time data streaming – stop sequencing, store or reuse flow cell once result is obtained
- Streamline your workflow with 10-minute library prep (DNA)/105-minute (direct RNA)
- Scale to your needs using Flongle, MinION, GridION, or PromethION
