Sequencing your DNA with a USB dongle and open source code
Anyone with hands on experience using NanoPore? I've been thinking about buying one of these to play around with. But anecdotally I've heard that they lack utility or are my concerns just myths?
a) they are designed to handle many batched samples at once rather than many runs of few samples over time. So in practice they don't really last for many individual samples.
b) the computational requirements are high. So while a NanoPore can be plugged into a laptop in the field it would take forever to run the data processing on said computer.
