DNA methylation-calling tools for Oxford Nanopore sequencing: a survey and human epigenome-wide evaluation. Yang, Y. et al. The concept of nanopore sequencing emerged in the 1980s and was realized through a series of technical advances in both the nanopore and the associated motor protein1,4,5,6,7,8. Two other experimental assays, DiMeLo-seq181 and BIND&MODIFY182, use ONT sequencing to map histone modifications (H3K9me3 and H3K27me3), a histone variant (CENP-A) and other specific proteinDNA interactions (for example, CTCF binding profile). Bioinformatics 34, 21682176 (2018). I work on microbial genomics, microbial evolution, and rapid pathogen diagnostics. 11, 4025 (2020). 4). In the example of bacterial meningitis, 16S amplicon sequencing took only 10min using MinION to identify pathogenic bacteria in all six retrospective cases, making MinION particularly useful for the early administration of antibiotics through timely detection of bacterial infections199. Wyman, D. et al. Maitra, R. D., Kim, J. Luo, R. et al. For example, ONT reads have been used to close 12 gaps (>50kb for each gap) in the human reference genome and to measure the length of telomeric repeats132 and also to assemble the centromeric region of the human Y chromosome133. In addition to in-house data collection and specific data formats, many ONT-specific analyses focus on better utilizing the ionic current signal for purposes such as base calling, base modification detection and postassembly polishing. Genome Res. Similar progress has been achieved in other model organisms and closely related species (for example, Escherichia coli109, Saccharomyces cerevisiae137, Arabidopsis thaliana138 and 15 Drosophila species139) as well as in non-model organisms, including characterizing large tandem repeats in the bread wheat genome140 and improving the continuity and completeness of the genome of Trypanosoma cruzi (the parasite causing Chagas disease)141. Nanopore targeted sequencing for the accurate and comprehensive detection of SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory viruses. The Caenorhabditis elegans reference genome has also been expanded by >2Mb through accurate identification of repetitive regions using ONT long reads136. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41587-021-00965-w (2021). It's also less computationally expensive and m. Deschamps, S. et al. Zeng, J. et al. Nat. Stuart Orkin, a molecular biologist and professor at Harvard University, touts the technique for its "essentially nucleotide-level" resolution. https://doi.org/10.3791/58954 (2019). MinION and MinIT devices were brought to farms in sub-Saharan Africa for early and rapid diagnosis (<3h) of plant viruses and pests in cassava231. They would require specific experimental protocols (for example, identifying chromatin accessibility by detecting artificial 5mC footprints72,175,176) rather than the simple generation of long reads.

Since then, epitranscriptome analyses using ONT sequencing have progressed rapidly, including detection of 7-methylguanosine (m7G) and pseudouridine in 16S rRNAs of E. coli183, m6A in mRNAs of S. cerevisiae73 and A. thaliana168 and m6A130 and pseudouridine104 in human RNAs. Currently, for DNA sequencing, ONT only supports the 1D method in which each strand of a dsDNA is ligated with an adapter and sequenced independently (Fig. Hereditas 155, 32 (2018). Wick, R. R., Judd, L. M. & Holt, K. E. Performance of neural network basecalling tools for Oxford Nanopore sequencing. Front. Furthermore, ONT direct RNA sequencing has been used to measure the poly(A) tail length of native RNA molecules in humans131, C. elegans167, A. thaliana168 and Locusta migratoria169, corroborating a negative correlation between poly(A) tail length and gene expression167,168.
