Oxford Nanopore
Definition
A third-generation sequencing technology that detects base modifications by measuring changes in ionic current as single DNA strands pass through biological nanopores. Nanopore sequencing produces very long reads (tens to hundreds of kilobases), enables real-time analysis, and directly detects DNA modifications without bisulfite conversion. MinION is the portable, USB-powered nanopore sequencer.
In Practice
Oxford Nanopore is widely used in sequencing and related fields. Key applications include:
- Research and experimental design in molecular biology laboratories
- Clinical diagnostics and therapeutic development pipelines
- Automated validation within VigyanLLM's 24-step primer design and analysis framework
