Research progress of nanopore sequencing technology and prospect of its application in imported grain quarantine
In recent years,the types and quantities of pests detected in imported grain have been increasing in China.The third-generation sequencing technology,represented by nanopore sequencing,can perform metagenomic sequencing on samples with unknown pathogen types,so as to rapidly determine whether the samples carry pests of concern,with the advantages of wide detection range and short time period.The present study offers a concise introduction to the principle and advantages of nanopore sequencing technology and also summarizes its application in the field of medicine,food and plant pathogen detection recently,and looks forward to its application in the detection of pests in imported grain.This may provide novel concepts for the development of rapid detection and quarantine methods for imported grain,with the aim of preventing the introduction and spread of foreign pests.
