Accurate profiling of forensic autosomal STRs using the Oxford Nanopore Technologies MinION device
The high variability characteristic of short tandem repeat (STR) markers is harnessed for human identification in forensic genetic analyses. Despite the power and reliability of current typing techn...
Forensic nanopore sequencing of STRs and SNPs using Verogen's ForenSeq DNA Signature Prep Kit and MinION
The MinION nanopore sequencing device (Oxford Nanopore Technologies, Oxford, UK) is the smallest commercially available sequencer and can be used outside of conventional laboratories. The use of th...
Developmental validation of Oxford Nanopore Technology MinION sequence data and the NGSpeciesID bioinformatic pipeline for forensic genetic species identification
Species identification of non-human biological evidence through DNA nucleotide sequencing is routinely used for forensic genetic analysis to support law enforcement. The gold standard for forensic g...
In-field whole genome sequencing using the MinION nanopore sequencer to detect the presence of high-prized military targets
As DNA sequencing technology advances, in-field genome sequencing capabilities are being explored, utilized and validated. With the assistance of such advances, forensic DNA processing is at the daw...
Forensic tri-allelic SNP genotyping using nanopore sequencing
The potential and current state-of-the-art of forensic SNP genotyping using nanopore sequencing was investigated with a panel of 16 tri-allelic single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), multiplexing f...
Forensic STR profiling using Oxford Nanopore Technologies' MinION
Forensic STR profiling using massively parallel sequencing (MPS) has gained much attention as an alternative for the traditional capillary electrophoresis (CE) methods. Oxford Nanopore Technologies ...
Rapid re-identification of human samples using portable DNA sequencing
DNA re-identification is used for a broad suite of applications, ranging from cell line authentication to forensics. However, current re-identification schemes suffer from high latency and limited a...
Democratizing DNA Fingerprinting
We report a rapid, inexpensive, and portable strategy to re-identify human DNA using the MinION, a miniature sequencing sensor by Oxford Nanopore Technologies. Our strategy requires only 10-30 minut...
Yaniv Erlich: A vision for Ubiquitous Sequencing
Yaniv Erlich outlines his vision for a future where “the next goal of the revolution can be ushered in by the advent of sequencing sensors – miniaturized sequencing devices that are manufactured for...
