abstract: >-
  This guide is an educator-focused introduction to Nanopore
  DNA sequencing. Its primary goal is to share resources and
  approaches that make it easier to use Nanopore technology
  in the classroom, especially (but not exclusively) for
  course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs).
  Importantly, we aim to ensure that low-cost, easy-to-use
  DNA sequencing is accessible to institutions with fewer
  resources and to communities that haven't had full access
  to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM)
  participation.


  As a guide for educators, the content of this site is
  curated to focus on experiments and techniques well-suited
  for the classroom. We emphasize approaches that minimize
  costs and complexity, rather than those requiring the most
  well-equipped labs. Additionally, we aim to feature
  adaptable teaching resources (e.g., slides, lessons,
  protocols, videos, advice) to give educators a head start
  in developing their own teaching materials. The site is
  versioned to provide educators with a stable resource to
  rely on, even as updates are made.
