DNA sequencing
Abstract Current genetic diagnosis by next-generation sequencing requires a large investment of resources and offers little point-of-care portability. Furthermore, it is unable to detect many types of genetic variations - including large deletions, duplications, and balanced translocations - that are relevant to human diseases and health. Comparing to other sequencing technologies, Nanopore sequencing owns the advantages of point-of-care (i.e., sequencing anywhere anytime), long reads (i.e., assembly-free to detect various genetic variations), and PCR free (i.e., sample preparation is easy)
