Barcode aware adaptive sampling for GridION and PromethION Oxford Nanopore sequencers

Adaptive sampling enables selection of individual DNA molecules from sequencing libraries, a unique property of nanopore sequencing. Here we develop our adaptive sampling tool readfish to become “barcode-aware” enabling selection of different targets within barcoded samples or filtering out individual barcodes. We show that multiple human genomes can be assessed for copy number and structural variation on a single sequencing flow cell using sample specific customised target panels on both GridION and PromethION devices.
