Oxford Nanopore MinION
The Oxford Nanopore MinION is a portable real-time sequencing device generating ultra-long reads from single DNA and RNA molecules without PCR amplification. Each MinION run generates 10-20 Gb of raw data with 75% of these reads passing quality control filters. Nanopore sequencing is currently the only technology that is capable of sequencing native strands of DNA and RNA without amplification or optics. It also provides direct epigenetic information of the sequences. The ultra-long reads, exceeding 100 Kb and up to 2 Mb, is only determined by input length of nucleic acid fragments. Its capacity of streaming sequencing data in real time allows rapid insight into samples and on-demand yield in a dynamic workflow.

Required Acknowledgement and Authorship
Please acknowledge the CBIS Core Facilities in all publications and grant applications where our equipment and/or personnel have facilitated the work. These acknowledgements are very important because documenting our contributions helps to ensure that the resources of the Core Facilities are sustainable.
- Equipment: If you used Core Facility equipment, please note this in the Materials and Methods. e.g., Thermogravimetric analysis was carried out using a TA Instruments TGA-Q50 (Rensselaer CBIS Analytical Biochemistry Core Facility).
- Personnel: Please consider including CBIS personnel as co-authors on your publications when they have made a significant intellectual contribution to the research. Include CBIS Core Facility directors or staff as co-PI or co-investigators in grant applications when they provide a significant contribution to the grant proposal and scientific/intellectual leadership for the proposed work. Please follow these guidelines: ABRF Recommended Guidelines for Authorship on Manuscripts. Also, our Core Facility personnel always appreciate when they are mentioned in the Acknowledgements section of publications.
- Required Funding Authorization Form: Rensselaer researchers must fill out the CBIS Cores Authorization Form (PDF) to use the CBIS Core Facilities.
