Pathogen metagenomics
Metagenomic sequencing is a key technique for the identification of potential pathogens. This end-to-end workflow overview introduces how to rapidly identify bacterial, fungal, and viral pathogens from respiratory research samples using metagenomic sequencing.

Delivering the future of genomic pathogen surveillance
Find out how nanopore sequencing overcomes the limitations of legacy genomic analysis technologies to deliver rapid, affordable, and informative results for a range of pathogen outbreaks, including SARS-CoV-2, Zika, Ebola, and many more — improving surveillance of infectious diseases.
Preventing pandemics
AmPORE-TB
AmPORE-TB is a research workflow that delivers rapid characterisation of mutations associated with antimicrobial resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, species identification, and lineage identification in a single assay, directly from sputum samples.
Combining fast library preparation with on-demand nanopore sequencing and hands-off, comprehensive analysis onboard the GridION AmPORE-TB device, the AmPORE-TB workflow can take as little as six hours for same-day results.
The GridION AmPORE-TB device, installed with the AmPORE-TB data analysis software, will be distributed by bioMérieux (Q-GRD-MK1-ATB).
