DNA sequencing tools with our technology
Nanopore sequencing is a technology that uses tiny pore proteins to determine the genetic code of DNA strands. The Han Remaut lab at VIB-VUB conducted groundbreaking research on the bacterial pore protein CsgG, which led to a successful collaboration with Oxford Nanopore Technologies. Together, they developed a sensing nanopore that is now integrated into the portable MinION® DNA sequencer. This technology provides several benefits across different research domains, such as cancer detection and genomic analysis of viral outbreaks.
