But what is nanopore sequencing? And how does it help advance the exploration of science?

Find out the answers through Dana's article below. 👇

www.trinhall.cam.ac.uk/publication/...

Through a Trinity Hall Research Project, Dana had the opportunity to follow her curiosity in bioinformatics and gain experience in a new field of research - nanopore sequencing. 🔬

Moving away from the wet lab with test tubes and chemicals, final-year Natural Sciences student Dana wanted to try something new and pursue her interest in computational analysis.

How can we read DNA in real time? 🧬

This was just one of the questions Dana was curious about when joining the team in the Enright lab.
