Abstract excerpt
Malaria parasite genomes have been generated predominantly using Illumina short-read sequencing that requires expensive equipment, is time-consuming with complex protocols, and does not adequately interrogate complex genomic regions that harbour important malaria virulence determinants. The portable Oxford Nanopore Technologies MinION platform generates long reads in real time and may overcome these limitations....
