Oxford Nanopore TechnologiesGene expression

Transcript isoform expression and usage is a key source of variation between healthy and diseased tissues.

Short sequencing reads offer a partial overview of gene expression.

The rapid development of long read sequencing

technologies opens the unique opportunity to gain an accurate

representation of transcript diversity, as each read

encompasses a full transcript

Clark et al., 20181

Nanopore sequencing also provides

Direct RNA and cDNA sequencingReduce bias, detect base modifications and analyse RNA viruses

SpeedRapid workflows and real-time results

Low input requirementsAs little as 1 ng (PCR-cDNA) or 250 ng (direct cDNA)

• Challenging quantification• Higher multimapping• Complex transcriptome assembly

• Accurate quantification• Lower multimapping• Full-length isoforms• Easier transcriptome assembly• Fusion transcript detection

Long nanopore reads provide the complete picture.

Isoform characterisation Long-read nanopore sequencing delivers full-length transcripts, allowing accurate isoform characterisation and quantification.
