We are getting wind that the developers of the MinION DNA sequencer have been able to work out early issues in reliability, and intend to bring a device market later this year. Having a device like ...

The Oxford Nanopore MinION represents a portable, real-time sequencing device that produces ultra-long reads from individual DNA and RNA molecules without the need for PCR amplification. Each MinION ...

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. -- The MinION, a handheld genomic sequencer, showed promise in a recent field demonstration as it continues testing at the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering ...

Scientists have developed a technique to rapidly and reliably detect genetic changes in malaria parasites in Ghana, using just a gaming laptop and portable MinION sequencer from Oxford Nanopore.

When it comes to DNA, France has always been behind the times. Never mind the hefty fines and prison sentence a man apparently can get for trying to order a paternity test, it seems that just knowing ...

Researchers have assembled the entire human genome using a nanopore sequencer, according to a study published today (January 29) in Nature Biotechnology. Using a pocket-size device, dubbed MinION, the ...

(Reuters) - The DNA-sequencing race heated up Friday as privately-held Oxford Nanopore Technologies Ltd said it developed two new devices that could quickly surpass existing gene decoders and rivals ...

A team of scientists working in Ghana have pioneered on-site genomic surveillance to track changes in the malaria parasite, achieving sampling to sequencing within 48 hours. This will guide local ...
