Modeling nanopores for sequencing DNA.
Using nanopores to sequence DNA rapidly and at a low cost has the potential to radically transform the field of genomic research. However, despite all the exciting developments in the field, sequencing DNA using a nanopore has yet to be demonstrated. Among the many problems that hinder development of the nanopore sequencing methods is the inability of current experimental techniques to visualiz...
متن کاملDNA translocation through graphene nanopores.
We report on DNA translocations through nanopores created in graphene membranes. Devices consist of 1-5 nm thick graphene membranes with electron-beam sculpted nanopores from 5 to 10 nm in diameter. Due to the thin nature of the graphene membranes, we observe larger blocked currents than for traditional solid-state nanopores. However, ionic current noise levels are several orders of magnitude l...
متن کاملDNA translocation through graphene nanopores.
Nanopores--nanosized holes that can transport ions and molecules--are very promising devices for genomic screening, in particular DNA sequencing. Solid-state nanopores currently suffer from the drawback, however, that the channel constituting the pore is long, approximately 100 times the distance between two bases in a DNA molecule (0.5 nm for single-stranded DNA). This paper provides proof of ...
متن کاملOsmylated DNA, a novel concept for sequencing DNA using nanopores.
Saenger sequencing has led the advances in molecular biology, while faster and cheaper next generation technologies are urgently needed. A newer approach exploits nanopores, natural or solid-state, set in an electrical field, and obtains base sequence information from current variations due to the passage of a ssDNA molecule through the pore. A hurdle in this approach is the fact that the four ...
متن کاملSupporting Information DNA Translocation Through Graphene Nanopores
We have plotted and fitted the data both as R(d) and as G(d) = 1/R(d), which will have the effect of emphasizing the weight of data points at small and large diameters, respectively. We fitted a variety of fitting functions to these data, as indicated in Figure S1. Table S1 displays the resulting fitting parameters as well as the χ 2 value, the reduced sum of the squared residuals. From a compa...
