Approaches to Whole Mitochondrial Genome Sequencing on the Oxford Nanopore MinION.

This article describes three approaches to extract, prepare, and sequence mitochondrial DNA on the Oxford Nanopore MinION device. Two of the workflows include enrichment of mitochondrial DNA prior to sequencing, whereas the other relies on direct sequencing of native genomic DNA to allow for simultaneous assessment of the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes. © 2019 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Basic Protocol: Enrichment-free mitochondrial DNA sequencing Alternate Protocol 1: Mitochondrial DNA sequencing following enrichment with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) Alternate Protocol 2: Mitochondrial DNA sequencing following enrichment with PCR-free hybridization capture Support Protocol 1: DNA quantification and quality assessment using the Agilent 4200 TapeStation System Support Protocol 2: AMPure XP bead clean-up Support Protocol 3: Suggested data analysis pipeline.
