Delivering the future of genomic pathogen surveillance with Oxford Nanopore sequencing


Image of pathogen surveillance white paper

Overview

Serious infectious disease outbreaks have been an ever-present threat throughout human history and — driven by factors such as increasing globalisation, population growth, urbanisation, and climate change — that threat is increasing. Rapid advancements of genomic technologies mean it is possible to characterise pathogens more easily and comprehensively; however, with high costs and infrastructure requirements, global access is limited to well-funded, centralised laboratories.

In this white paper, explore how Oxford Nanopore sequencing is delivering comprehensive, affordable, portable, and real-time analysis of human and animal pathogens.

In this white paper, you will:

  • Learn the importance of pathogen surveillance and its recent developments
  • Discover the limitations of legacy sequencing technologies
  • Find out how nanopore sequencing overcomes these limitations
  • Read real-world case studies of how researchers are utilising nanopore sequencing to deliver new insights
