Nanopore technology provides a novel approach to DNA sequencing that yields long, label-free reads of constant quality. The first commercial implementation of this approach, the MinION, has shown promise in various sequencing applications. This review gives an up-to-date overview of the MinION's utility as a <i>de novo</i> sequencing device. It is argued that the MinION may allow for portable and affordable <i>de novo</i> sequencing of even complex genomes in the near future, despite the current ...[more]
