We are pleased to announce that our wet lab successfully prepared and sequenced the lambda control genome on the PromethION P2 Solo, making long read sequencing with Oxford Nanopore Technologies a reality at Wales Gene Park.

Our flow cell check showed the presence of 6848 pores and started running with a 93.3% pore occupancy. Here are some of the metrics of our run after 65 hours and one nuclease flush:
- 5.1 M reads
- N50 32.5 Kb
- 99.99% basecall reads
- Total data produced 985.8 Gb
