A portable system for rapid bacterial composition analysis using a nanopore-based sequencer and laptop computer

Abstract We developed a portable system for 16S rDNA analyses consisting of a nanopore technology-based sequencer, the MinION, and laptop computers, and assessed its potential ability to determine bacterial compositions rapidly. We tested our protocols using a mock bacterial community that contained...
