PromethION: nanopore sequencer for DNA and RNA sequencing (PromethION) Universiteit Gent
PromethION 24 (Oxford Nanopore) is a stand-alone benchtop instrument designed for high-throughput, high-sample-number nanopore sequencing, also known as third-generation sequencing. This breakthrough technology differs from the most commonly used second-generation short-read (50-600 bp) sequencing: nanopore sequencing offers read lengths of 10-100 kilobases (kb), limited only by the length of intact DNA or RNA molecules presented to it. The modular design enables a new paradigm of a versatile workflow in which many different experiments can be performed in real time, without limitations of ...
