This is our Friday rubric: every week a new Science Page from the Bob Morrison’s Swine Health Monitoring Project. The previous editions of the science page are available on our website.
This week, Shaoyuan Tan, PhD-candidate from the Murtaugh’s lab is sharing the technology behind MinION.
Key points
- MinION sequencing can be used for antibiotic resistance prediction to guide prudent and effective antibiotic use
- MinION sequencing can improve clinical diagnosis to strain-level detection
- MinION sequencing is a potential solution for rapid emerging infectious disease investigations
