    Portable nanopore sequencing offers rapid RNA/DNA analysis for pathogen identification during outbreaks. This technology was successfully deployed in a field laboratory in Liberia during the Ebola virus outbreak.

    Area of Science:

    • Genomics
    • Epidemiology
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Rapid pathogen RNA/DNA sequencing is crucial for disease outbreak surveillance.
    • Exporting samples and establishing conventional sequencers in remote outbreak regions present significant logistical challenges.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the utility of a novel, pocket-sized nanopore sequencer for field-based pathogen analysis.
    • To assess the feasibility of deploying advanced sequencing technology in resource-limited outbreak settings.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a portable nanopore sequencing device for real-time RNA/DNA analysis of pathogen samples.
    • Conducted sequencing at a field diagnostic laboratory in Liberia.
    • Focused on samples obtained during the Ebola virus outbreak.
