This is an introductory text and laboratory manual to be used
primarily in undergraduate courses. It is also useful for graduate
students and research scientists who require an introduction to the
theory and methods of nanopore sequencing. The book has clear
explanations of the principles of this emerging technology,
together with instructional material written by experts that
describes how to use a MinION nanopore instrument for sequencing in
research or the classroom.At Harvard University the book serves as
a textbook and lab manual for a university laboratory course
designed to intensify the intellectual experience of incoming
undergraduates while exploring biology as a field of concentration.
Nanopore sequencing is an ideal topic as a path to encourage
students about the range of courses they will take in Biology by
pre-emptively addressing the complaint about having to take a
course in Physics or Maths while majoring in Biology. The book
addresses this complaint by concretely demonstrating the range of
topics - from electricity to biochemistry, protein structure,
molecular engineering, and informatics - that a student will have
to master in subsequent courses if he or she is to become a
scientist who truly understands what his or her biology instrument
is measuring when investigating biological phenomena.
