  • Is Oxford NANOPORE technology obsolete before commercial launch?

    An interesting paper integrating Nanopores with optical detection rather than current sensing.

    Well, even ONT took almost 10 years to go from a research paper to a beta device, I think it is too premature to say whether this new tech will amount to anything interesting for now.

      The fine prints of this paper mentioned that this tech is already licensed to ONT. So this is not going to be a competitor of ONT.

      If the current minion can be scaled to output 40Gb per box in the near future as ONT claimed, I don't see any big need for even higher throughput in the near future for this tech (or perhaps this tech is the secret behind the 40Gb output?). It is more important to improve the read accuracy to be on par with PacBio IMHO.

        It may not affect ONT, but people (specially graduate students) who put their resources developing software for current ONT platform will be disappointed once they switch to optical detection.

          Best Practices for Single-Cell Sequencing Analysis
          by seqadmin



          While isolating and preparing single cells for sequencing was historically the bottleneck, recent technological advancements have shifted the challenge to data analysis. This highlights the rapidly evolving nature of single-cell sequencing. The inherent complexity of single-cell analysis has intensified with the surge in data volume and the incorporation of diverse and more complex datasets. This article explores the challenges in analysis, examines common pitfalls, offers...
