Jason Williams and Anna Feitzinger DNA Learning Center, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, NY Bring your own experiment! Join us this summer for a three-day exploration of Nanopore DNA sequencing. The hand-held Oxford Nanopore MinION sequencer can generate up to 50 billion DNA bases in 72 hours for less than $1500. Nanopore’s portability, ability to generate long reads (>1 million bases), and increasing accuracy make it a great choice for DNA and RNA sequencing, DNA modification detection, and metagenomics. Recently, Nanopore sequencing was used to deliver the first complete human genome—in time ...
