New Chemistry, Basecaller, Prep From Oxford Nanopore

March 9, 2016 | Oh the Brits and their Monty Python references. Oxford Nanopore hosted a Google Hangout yesterday titled, “No thanks, I’ve already got one.” Oxford CTO Clive Brown outlined several updates to the platform including new chemistry, a new basecaller, and changes to library prep, and an update on PromethION (hasn’t shipped yet, will by the end of the month.) Keith Robison at Omics! Omics! blog did a great job of breaking down the news and updates.
