Unlocking genomic insights: real-time sequencing with MinION Mk1D


For researchers in the field – from Alaska to the International Space Station – a real-time portable sequencer can lower the barrier to accessing genomic information, bringing new insights into organisms by sequencing directly in extreme environments.

During this webinar, our expert speakers introduced the MinION Mk1D, the next generation of portable sequencer designed to enhance sequencing performance in research labs anywhere and challenging environments alike.

We heard how the Mk1D has been used to understand the effects of the Alaskan soil microbiome on ecosystem health and discover its capabilities in diverse conditions.

Viewers of the webinar:

  • Discovered how portable sequencing devices enable real-time basecalling anywhere.
  • Explored how to enhance your sequencing in a range of environments and temperatures.
  • Heard about the practical applications of the Mk1D in genomics research, from whole genome sequencing to metagenomics and targeted applications.
