MinION - Long-read Sequencing Services
LONG-READ NEXT GENERATION SEQUENCING SYSTEM
MinION long-read sequencing services offer high accuracy and completeness for identifying structural variants, proving especially useful in regions with repetitive sequences or large genomic elements.
MinION is an Oxford Nanopore long-read NGS system that offers complete coverage of large amplicons, genomic elements, and alternative splicing isoforms. It is particularly useful for genome finishing, de novo assembly, and long read repeats.
Complex genomic projects that require resolving repetitive sequences, structural variants, alternative splicing, or epigenetic modifications are best suited to the MinION long read sequencing technique. This is because long reads can span the regions of these applications, reduce the need for amplification that could introduce biases or artifacts in the sequencing data; and provide more accurate and complete information about the genome structure and function. Unlike short reads, which may not align or assemble correctly in the target regions, long reads minimize gaps or errors in the genome assembly or annotation.
