A quarter of the world's SARS-CoV-2 viral genomes were sequenced with nanopore devices. The technology offers an important tool for combating antimicrobial resistance. [11] In 2020, China-based Qitan Technology launched its nanopore single-molecule gene sequencer, [12] while in 2024 MGI Tech launched its own products. [13]
Pore-C workflow. Many methods to characterize the 3D genome are variations on 3C technology. [5] Like other 3C-based technologies, [5] Pore-C seeks to characterize the architecture of the 3D genome by determining which genomic loci are in close spatial proximity (within ~200 nm). [2]
Oxford Nanopore Technologies' MinION sequencer is based on evolving nanopore sequencing technology to nucleic acid analyses. [37] The device is four inches long and gets power from a USB port. MinION decodes DNA directly as the molecule is drawn at the rate of 450 bases/second through a nanopore suspended in a membrane. [38]
Nanopore-based sequencing also offers a route for direct methylation sequencing without fragmentation or modification to the original DNA. Nanopore sequencing has been used to sequence the methylomes of bacteria, which are dominated by 6mA and 4mC (as opposed to 5mC in eukaryotes), but this technique has not yet been scaled down to single cells ...
A nanopore is a pore of nanometer size. It may, for example, be created by a pore-forming protein or as a hole in synthetic materials such as silicon or graphene. When a nanopore is present in an electrically insulating membrane, it can be used as a single-molecule detector.
Sequencing technologies with a different approach than second-generation platforms were first described as "third-generation" in 2008–2009. [4]There are several companies currently at the heart of third generation sequencing technology development, namely, Pacific Biosciences, Oxford Nanopore Technology, Quantapore (CA-USA), and Stratos (WA-USA).
The technique adapts the principle of resistive pulse sensing, which monitors current flow through an aperture, combined with the use of tunable nanopore technology, allowing the passage of ionic current and particles to be regulated by adjusting the pore size.
Oxford Nanopore Technologies plc is a UK-based company which develops and sells nanopore sequencing products (including the portable DNA sequencer, MinION) for the direct, electronic analysis of single molecules. [2] [3] [4] It is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 Index. [5]
