  • Oxford Nanopore

    For originality this is the first 3rd gene sequencing by destruction. An exonuclease feeds cleaved bases into a modified hemolysin, while the potential is monitored. According to Oxford modified hemolysin (more specifically the cyclodextrin modification) interacts differently with each base resulting in a different potential drop allowing the base discrimination.

    Pros: Look ma, no label. No amplification, no label, this is a close to pure DNA readout as one can imagine (might also do methylated DNA)
    Con: Lipid bilayers are notoriously fluid causing motion in the pore. Manufacturing and kitting lipid bilayers as consumables, logistical nightmare. This is a great technology for a single pore, but pore arrays for this readout and the bilayer will be another large hurdle. Commercialization will be VERY challenging, perhaps this would be better as a service?

    I will be interested to see how they progress.

    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...
