Learn about the community
The Nanopore Community is an online portal open to all Oxford Nanopore customers. It allows users to get support with their experiments, collaborate with each other, and be the first to hear about new products and updates. The Nanopore Community contains a wealth of resources to help you succeed in your nanopore experiments. Here are some pages that may help you make the most of your nanopore sequencing platform.

Nanopore Learning
Visit Nanopore LearningNanopore Learning is a collection of training videos arranged into courses. These courses cover all the main aspects of how to get started with nanopore sequencing, from planning your experiment to analysing your sequencing data. You can either follow an entire course from beginning to end or browse individual videos in the Lesson Library.
