Abstract excerpt
Here, we report the application of a portable sequencer, MinION, for genotyping the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. In the present study, an amplicon mixture of nine representative genes causing resistance to anti-malaria drugs is diagnosed. First, we developed the procedure for four laboratory strains (3D7, Dd2, 7G8, and K1), and then applied the developed procedure to ten clinical samples. We sequenced...
