Nanopore technology can sequence DNA or RNA in real time. The original portable/personal MinION has now been scaled up to GridION X5, which can operate up to five Flow Cells at any time. In late 2016, the first human genomes to be sequenced using nanopore technology emerged. With simple workflows, this video shows how to sequence a human genome using a GridION X5.
Flongle, GridION, MinION, MinIT, PromethION, and VolTRAX are currently for research use only.
