Abstract

Nanopore Sequencing is a single molecule, real-time, direct, electrical method of determining DNA sequence. During this talk, Stuart Reid will describe the range of cross-disciplinary technological developments that came together to deliver the world’s first commercially available nanopore sequencing device, the MinION.
