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 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 کاملA parallel graph decomposition algorithm for DNA sequencing with nanopores
MOTIVATION With the potential availability of nanopore devices that can sense the bases of translocating single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), it is likely that 'reads' of length approximately 10(5) will be available in large numbers and at high speed. We address the problem of complete DNA sequencing using such reads. We assume that approximately 10(2) copies of a DNA sequence are split into single str...
متن کاملTowards DNA Sequencing Chips
DNA sequencing is an important technology for the determination of the sequences of nucleotides that make up a given DNA fragment. In view of the limitations of current sequencing technology, it would be advantageous to have a DNA sequencing method that provides the sequences of long DNA fragments and is amenable to automation. Sequencing by Hybridization (SBH) is a challenging alternative to t...
متن کاملPlasmonic Nanopores for Trapping, Controlling Displacement, and Sequencing of DNA
With the aim of developing a DNA sequencing methodology, we theoretically examine the feasibility of using nanoplasmonics to control the translocation of a DNA molecule through a solid-state nanopore and to read off sequence information using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we show that high-intensity optical hot spots produced by a metallic nanostruct...
