Nanopore sequencing: the most comprehensive insight into cancer genomes

The unique attributes of nanopore sequencing can fully address the limitations of traditional sequencing technologies so that researchers can obtain the most comprehensive insight into cancer genomes. This includes the ability to resolve variants and epigenetic modifications, target large panels or single genes without PCR, and detect full-length transcripts with single-cell resolution.

In this short video, scientists share how nanopore sequencing technology has made their work possible, leading to a greater understanding of cancer, and how some of their own life experiences have prompted them to pursue a career in this area.
