Nanopore sequencing company Oxford Nanopore has announced new updates for its MinION protein pore and other projects. The company is releasing version R9.4 of the MinION for more rapid, accurate sequencing. Shipping updates for the sequencing setup will start in October, increasing speed from 250 bases/second to 450 bases/second. There will also be a new rapid PCR barcode kit, PCR kit and amplicon kit available for MinION. A programmable base station device, the ASIC, is in the works, as is a next-generation VolTRAX and a flow cell dongle, or “Flongle”.
