NCM 2022: Update from Oxford Nanopore Technologies
- Published on: December 6 2022
At the Nanopore Community Meeting, Rosemary Sinclair Dokos, Stuart Reid and Lakmal Jayasinghe showed how the Oxford Nanopore sequencing platform’s capabilities continue to be pushed. They provided a summary of the current platform, imminent platform developments, and the innovation pipeline. Multiple updates and consolidations to improve and simplify the platform were presented, showcasing a single, simple, high-performance sequencing technology.
The latest R10.4.1 flow cells in combination with Kit 14, for high-yield, high-accuracy (Q20+ single molecule) sequencing, are expected to move from ‘early access’ to ‘released’ status in the first quarter of 2023. This enables all users to generate highly accurate, information-rich data, in real time and from any length fragments of DNA/RNA, providing one platform for all users’ sequencing needs.
Updates were provided that included developments in platform chemistry, hardware, data analysis, preparation and product range:
