Oxford Nanopore’s Software Side – Bio-IT World
Oxford Nanopore Technologies has built an impressive hardware operation from its home in the UK. Its MinION device, a handheld DNA sequencer smaller than a remote control, once seemed like the stuff of science fiction, built on the molecular engineering of “nanopores” at the scale of just a few atoms. Today the company is churning out hundreds of them to ship around the globe.
But Oxford Nanopore is also a software company, and its computer programs for use alongside the MinION are likely to become a larger part of its business in the future.
