This document discusses nanopore sequencing technology. It provides an overview of nanopore sequencing, including what nanopore sequencing is, the types of nanopores used (biological and solid state), advantages such as not requiring amplification or labeling, and challenges with processing large amounts of raw data. The document then examines raw nanopore data and the initial steps needed to process the data, including creating a training data set to predict genomic bases and releasing analysis packages to the community.
