The Promethion will purchased from Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT), and involves a sequencing machine and regular shipments of chemistry kits used for sequencing. The unique machine is able to generate single molecule sequencing reads spanning hundreds of kilobases in real-time. The machine will be used by BRIC researchers to perform nucleic acid sequencing of biological material. The equipment will be placed in the sequencing core at BRIC.
