How to Sequence Your Own DNA at Home with Oxford Nanopore MinION

How to sequence your own DNA at home

I have successfully sequenced my own genome five times using the Oxford Nanopore Technologies MinION device. This guide details the hardware, reagents, and step-by-step protocol needed to extract cheek cells and analyze your DNA at home. While currently expensive, I believe costs will drop exponentially, eventually allowing us to query our genetic data and RNA expression in real-time for personalized health insights.
