but executive vice president and General Counsel John Cannon is going to serve at this point as the interim chief of the company.
because we didn t expect the cells to be able to survive being fired out of a cannon.##
more expensive devices The Minion is a handheld DNA-sequencing device developed by Oxford Nanopore,
The sequencer has been made available to thousands of laboratories around the world via the Minion Access Programme,
accuracy and reproducibility that can be expected from the Minion. The findings show that the device provided consistent results between labs
While the data from the Minion device did contain more errors than larger, more expensive devices so-called standard short-read technologies other researchers have shown that theye of high enough quality to infer full-length genomes from scratch, for the E coli bacterium, Influenza virus,
the data generated in the study actually represents a snapshot of the Minion performance in April 2015.
and Senior Analyst in Microbial Genomics at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Human genetics. using the Minion in a project with secondary-school students in Oxford,
experts believe the missile is equipped with an electromagnetic pulse cannon. This uses a super-powerful microwave oven to generate a concentrated beam of energy
Boeing's CHAMP takes out enemy electronics with pulse The missile is equipped with an electromagnetic pulse cannon.
and graduate student Gopinath Rajadinakaran teamed up with UK-based Oxford Nanopore technologies to show that the company's Minion nanopore sequencer can sequence genes faster,
called a Minion, works by feeding a single strand of DNA through a tiny pore.
No one had used yet a Minion to sequence copies of RNA, and though it was likely it could be done,
and then ran them through the Minion's nanopores. In this one experiment, they not only found 7,
"A lot of people said'The Minion will never work, '"Graveley says, "but we showed it works using the most complicated gene known."
since the Minion is both relatively inexpensive and highly portable so that it requires almost no lab space."
"Graveley will speak about the research at the Oxford Nanopore Minion Community Meeting at the New york Genome Center on Dec 3.
"Plus the fact that the Minion is a hand-held sequencer that you plug into a laptop is simply unbelievably cool
dubbed Minion, was made by Oxford Nanopore technologies and is no larger than a modern cell phone.
Early versions of the instrument called the Minion have been reaching scientific labs over the past few months after long delays (see 10 Breakthrough Technologies 2012:
The Minion is the result of some very high-stakes R&d by Oxford a 200-person company that s long has had its eye on the expanding market for high-speed DNA sequencers.
It took another 25 years before the Minion was developed. That's because the technical problems were so daunting.
And how could you pull the string of DNA letters through the pore suspended in a layer one-100000th as thick as a hair much less at a rate of 30 letters a second as the Minion does?
When it first announced the Minion in 2012 expectations soared off the charts (see Why a Portable DNA Device Could Yield Better Data.
While both he and Deamer have extensive financial ties to Oxford they say it s obvious to everyone that the Minion is just the start.
which would strip away our atmosphere and surface water and bombard us with radiation if left unchecked.
In XAS, a beam of x-rays bombards the catalyst sample and deposits energy as it passes through the micro-reactor.

and Canadian researchers has managed to successfully sequence the full genome of a living organism using a machine the size of a smartphone called the Minion.
The Minion was developed by Oxford Nanopore technologies and is currently undergoing tests to evaluate the technology.
