Researchers at the University of Florida found security risks when using portable genetic sequencers made by Oxford Nanopore Technologies--the largest provider in the product space. Oxford quickly rolled out updates to path the vulnerabilities, but devices that did not receive the updates, as well as unsecured internet systems could still ...
The community-authored ebook on integrating Oxford Nanopore DNA sequencing into hands-on educational experiences is now available! Drs. Anna Feitzinger and Dave Micklos spoke about it at the Spring 2025 InnovATEBIO ATE project talk on March 28th and it is now available on the Nanopore Network webpage. When you download the ...
The DNA Learning Center (DNALC) and Oxford Nanopore are working together to adapt nanopore sequencing for use in education – including improved chemistry, workflows, directions, and packaging/pricing attractive to high school and college faculty. The DNALC’s popular DNA Subway is currently being redeveloped for full mobile use, including a new line for nanopore sequence analysis. Workshop participants will be the first to test this streamlined approach for combining MinION sequence data with the DNA Subway pipeline – providing DNA sequencing and analysis any time, any place, by anyone ...
Welcome to the 2025 InnovATEBIO series of virtual ATE project talks. This series features leaders in biotechnology workforce education from across the US sharing their work on exciting projects funded by the National Science Foundation's Advanced Technological Education (ATE) program. The ATE program supports the education of technicians for the high-technology fields that drive our nation's economy. Each talk will be 20 minutes, followed by 15 minutes for questions and discussion. View the whole series of Spring 2025 ATE project talks. Talk 1: DNA Subway 2.0 Description: Enhancing DNA Subway ...
Nanopore sequencing analyzes individual DNA molecules in real time, and is the “next big thing” in biology education, making real-time DNA sequencing accessible to bioscience teachers and faculty. The DNA Learning Center and Oxford Nanopore are adapting nanopore sequencing for use in education, and you can be among the first to test their integrated Oxford Nanopore MinION/DNA Subway system that can provide DNA sequencing and analysis any time, any place, by anyone, and at an affordable price. Workshop participants will each receive a $300 stipend. May 15–17 Spelman College, Atlanta, GA May 29 ...
The Laney College biomanufacturing program hosted Danny Grannick from Oxford Nanopore in their first webinar during the COVID-19 shelter-in-place. Danny begins with an overview of sequencing technology and then turns to applications to health, biopharma, and the fight against the coronavirus. Here is the full agenda: Sequencing and Genomics - brief overview on technology roadmaps and platform differences Oxford Nanopore - brief overview Applications - BioPharma, SynBio, the role of sequencing for COVID-19 Where sequencing and genomics is headed - decentralization of sequencing technologies and
