Advancing environmental research with Oxford Nanopore sequencing
Portable and affordable Oxford Nanopore technology delivers unique opportunities for environmental research. It has been used extensively to analyse environmental DNA (eDNA) and microbiome samples to support biodiversity assessment, ecosystem biomonitoring, pathogen identification, and animal conservation.
Long Oxford Nanopore reads provide enhanced species identification, while real-time data analysis delivers immediate access to results, whether in the field or in the lab.
