Benefits of Oxford Nanopore's DNA sequencing method
Why sequence with nanopores?
- Oxford Nanopore Technologies has the leadership position in direct electrical DNA sequencing with nanopores. Our in-house and collaborator expertise and intellectual property is unmatched.
- Oxford Nanopore is developing a new
generation of DNA sequencing system to deliver superior speed, cost and
accuracy, and also simplicity and versatility of workflow.
- The system is designed to enable a broader range of researchers to
be able to perform sequencing-based experiments, with a wide variety of
applications including de novo and resequencing, transcriptome analysis, methylation analysis and more.
- Direct electrical detection at the single molecule level means:
- Removal of the need for amplification
- Simple sample preparation
- No risk of amplification errors
- Less cost, less time
No labelling
- Negligible reagent costs
- Simple workflow
- Simple instrumentation
- Less cost, less time
Electronic-based measurement
- Simpler instrumentation
- Highly scalable
- Simpler data processing and storage
- Long read lengths - simpler assembly
- Less cost, less time
