Full Biology from a single experiment

Nanopore sequencing is a universal technology capable of resolving small to large genomic variants and aberrations in single loci to whole genomes, from individual samples to population-scale analyses. By sequencing native DNA fragments, from 20 bases in length to millions of bases, this single, accurate, and accessible technology provides a more comprehensive insight into the true biology present than any other sequencing technology.
