Oxford Nanopore Technologies collaboration advances multi-omics research
KAUST ·
KAUST and Oxford Nanopore Technologies have signed an MoU to collaborate on multi-omics research, building on previous work such as the NanoRanger technique developed by KAUST's Mo Li. KAUST will gain early access to Oxford Nanopore’s sequencing technology, while Oxford Nanopore will access KAUST's Core Labs. Why it matters: This partnership enhances KAUST's research capabilities in areas like rare diseases and desert agriculture, and provides Oxford Nanopore with a launchpad to engage with Saudi Arabia's research community.
