Toward security-aware portable sequencing

Portable genome sequencers are revolutionizing genomic research. However, their reliance on external systems introduces new vulnerabilities that threaten the security of these sequencers. By employing zero-trust principles throughout the sequencing workflow, we can enhance the security of portable sequencing technology.

Abstract

Portable genome sequencers are revolutionizing genomic research. However, their reliance on external systems introduces new vulnerabilities that threaten the security of these sequencers. By employing zero-trust principles throughout the sequencing workflow, we can enhance the security of portable sequencing technology.
