Exciting
#nanopore updates for RNA biologists announced last night. FINALLY some new chemistry development for direct RNAseq & base caller model updates to go with! ONT's developed many bespoke helicases via an ML-guided engineering effort in 2022, and we're getting one for RNA. Supposedly faster & more consistent motor speeds, improved RNA base calling with accuracy up to 96%, and 3X output improvements from the chemistry changes. All coming next year, early access in Q1.
