A mobile nanopore sequencing lab for end-to-end genomic surveillance of Plasmodium falciparum

We used portable laboratory equipment, Bento Lab and MinION, for development of assays in the lab at the University of Notre Dame and on-site genomic analysis of P. falciparum.

Curious about how Bento Lab can be used with Oxford Nanopore MinION as a portable PCR and sequencing laboratory to track diseases?

Here’s an exciting study that investigates whether a mobile malaria infection sequencing approach can help inform malaria control programs: Holzschuh et al. (2024). Using a mobile nanopore sequencing lab for end-to-end genomic surveillance of Plasmodium falciparum: A feasibility study
