As a mobile sequencing device powered by the USB port of a laptop, the MinION has huge potential applications. To enable these applications, the bioinformatics community will need to design and build a suite of tools specifically for MinION data.Results Here we present poRe, a package for the statistical software R that enables users to manipulate, organize, summarise and visualize MinION nanopore sequencing data. As a packge for R, poRe has been tested on both Windows and Linux. Crucially, the Windows version allows users to analyse MinION data on the Windows laptop attached to the deviceAvailability Pre-built R packages for Windows and Linux are available under a BSD license at http://sourceforge.net/projects/rpore/Contact mick.watson{at}roslin.ed.ac.uk}, URL = {https://www.biorxiv.org/content/early/2014/07/29/007567}, eprint = {https://www.biorxiv.org/content/early/2014/07/29/007567.full.pdf}, journal = {bioRxiv} }
