I think people underappreciate the applications with this technology. It's a quantitative counting device that can go from sample to answer in seconds to minutes (bye bye ddPCR). Some applications will clearly require an upstream DNA extraction. You can't do liquid biopsy without sampling at least 10mL of blood, but the speed and ease of use of this device is revolutionary. There will be a lot of applications where this is immediately beneficial. Can you imagine converting any ELISA into a cheek swab test that takes seconds? That will be a boon for infectious disease research and in field diagnostic testing, just to name one application.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36768584.post-74873386893329033062017-01-07T09:01:48.161-05:002017-01-07T09:01:48.161-05:00Kat Holt (@DrKatHolt) pointed me on Twitter to 2PG...Kat Holt (<a href="https://twitter.com/DrKatHolt" rel="nofollow">@DrKatHolt</a>) pointed me on Twitter to 2PG's publication on the fundamental technology, a <a href="http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0154426" rel="nofollow">May 2016 PLoS One paper "Nanopore-Based Target Sequence Detection"</a>Keith Robisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04765318239070312590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36768584.post-12529545924665357732017-01-06T11:43:41.701-05:002017-01-06T11:43:41.701-05:00Looks like they'll be involved in the liquid b...Looks like they'll be involved in the liquid biopsy space as well: http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20170106005133/en/Pore-Guys-UCSF-Collaborate-Liquid-Biopsy-StudyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36768584.post-2390780350881401292017-01-06T06:47:34.251-05:002017-01-06T06:47:34.251-05:002PG have what looks as exciting as ONT did in 2012...2PG have what looks as exciting as ONT did in 2012...a handheld device that can be used to assay biology -easily.
