Fast, lightweight and live nanopore sequencing analysis

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project aims to address limitations in nanopore sequencing (latest emerging technology in genomics) by applying advanced computational methods. This project expects to create new knowledge in bioinformatics and computer science through innovative approaches that leverage the live data streaming capability of nanopore devices to deliver results rapidly, or in real-time. Expected outcomes include improved, highly efficient analysis methods and designs for future creation of custom computer hardware for nanopore analysis. This will facilitate widespread adoption of nanopore technology in bioscience research and applied domains (health, agriculture, ecology, biosecurity and forensics), including for portable in-the-field applications.
