Keeping up with the nanopores

Speed and cost are the selling points for nanopore sequencing, which holds the promise of being faster than sequencing technologies currently on the market without needing extensive DNA sample preparation. But thus far speed has come at the cost of accuracy. Now, a team at the University of California, Santa Cruz has discovered a way to improve the accuracy of nanopore sequencing while retaining its speed.¹

Oxford Nanopore Technologies Ltd. has licensed the technology and is incorporating it into its nanopore sequencing platforms...
