Sequencing to fight COVID-19 with Oxford Nanopore

Written by Oxford Nanopore

Offering comprehensive, real-time insights, nanopore sequencing provides immediate access to the critical genomic epidemiology data required to effectively control infectious disease outbreaks. It can be used for pathogen identification, antimicrobial resistance profiling, assembly of high-quality genomes, and so much more. You can sequence in the lab or at the sample source at a scale to suit your needs.

Researchers have used nanopore sequencing to generate data which has been essential in combating the spread of COVID-19, including characterizing the SARS-CoV-2 virus genome and rapidly identifying variants.
