Gerbi %T Sequencing ultra-long DNA molecules with the Oxford Nanopore MinION %D 2015 %R 10.1101/019281 %J bioRxiv %P 019281 %X Oxford Nanopore Technologies’ nanopore sequencing device, the MinION, holds the promise of sequencing ultra-long DNA fragments >100kb. An obstacle to realizing this promise is delivering ultra-long DNA molecules to the nanopores. We present our progress in developing cost-effective ways to overcome this obstacle and our resulting MinION data, including multiple reads >100kb. %U https://www.biorxiv.org/content/biorxiv/early/2015/05/13/019281.full.pdf
