test dataset for MinIon algorithm development

Hi,

Can anyone point me to a test dataset that contains raw picoAmp data generated by the Oxford Nanopore MinIon platform? I am interested in algorithm development for this type of data but I would like to get a sense of the data before we begin sequencing on our own MinIon. My problem currently is that I am finding mostly very large, whole genome sequencing data. I would ideally like just a gene or a small region for testing purposes.

Thanks!

Yes. Not looking for fastqs that are already base-called

Yeah I guess the fast5 files are ~500GB, I was hoping for something on <5GB just to test some ideas out

This nanopolish tutorial has a small set of fast5 files from ecoli.

You can get it using
