  • Illumina sues Oxford Nanopore

    Hi all,

    Illumina sues Oxford Nanopore...

    Curious to have your opinion about this....

    Looks like ONT has become a threat.
    Illumina used to scoff at them.

    Competition is good for customers. Illumina is a one-trick pony and their technology is headed to the glue factory.

        Provided herein are Mycobacterium smegmatis porin nanopores, systems that comprise these nanopores, and methods of using and making these nanopores. Such nanopores may be wild-type MspA porins, mutant MspA porins, wild-type MspA paralog porins, wild-type MspA homolog porins, mutant MspA paralog porins, mutant MspA homolog porins, or single-chain Msp porins. Also provided are bacterial strains capable of inducible Msp porin expression.

            That's blatantly not true, take the recent IBS V Illumina case as an example.

            Ever heard of David V Goliath?

              While it is likely that this is Illumina's tactic to stall or distract ONT, WashU being one of plaintiffs does give this claim a little bit of credibility.

                  Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
                  by seqadmin


                  Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
