Abstract
Nanopore sequencing was recently made available to users in the form of the Oxford Nanopore MinION. Released to users through an early access programme, the MinION is made unique by its tiny form factor and ability to generate very long sequences from single DNA molecules. The platform is undergoing rapid evolution with three distinct nanopore types and five updates to library preparation chemistry in the last 18 months. To keep pace with the rapid evolution of this sequencing platform, and to provide a space where new analysis methods can be openly discussed, we present a new F1000Research channel devoted to updates to and analysis of nanopore sequence data.
Highlights
Nanopore sequencing was recently made available to users in the form of the Oxford Nanopore MinION
The first promises of a genuine sequencing product came at the Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT) 2012 in the form of an announcement from Oxford Nanopore Technologies
In May 2014, the first nanopore sequencers reached the hands of testers as part of the MinION Access Programme (MAP), an early access scheme rather different from rollouts of other technologies
