What can I do with whole plasmid sequencing?

Whole plasmid sequencing uses long-read sequencing technology, specifically nanopore technology, to read the entire DNA sequence of a plasmid. 

Whole plasmid sequencing can be used in a wide range of applications including:

• Plasmid verification
• Sequencing difficult regions such as GC-rich regions and repetitive sequences 
• Resequencing whole genomes
• Identifying structural changes or genetic material degradation that may occur during replication thereby enabling research into overcoming these structural instabilities and developing safe and effective molecules for disease treatments
• Identifying of pathogens, including anti-microbial resistance genes rapidly, potentially within a few hours
• Metagenomic analysis of long reads
