Oxford Nanopore

Oxford Nanopore Technologies develops advanced DNA sequencing technology that reads genetic material directly by passing individual DNA strands through tiny, nanopore-sized holes in a membrane. As DNA molecules traverse these pores, they cause characteristic electrical changes that are measured and translated into nucleotide sequences. This method allows for real-time, portable, and long-read sequencing, making it accessible and efficient for various applications, including research, diagnostics, and environmental monitoring. Unlike traditional methods, Nanopore sequencing can analyze very long DNA segments and provides immediate results, offering a versatile tool for understanding genetic information.
