Journal ArticleDOI

Noise analysis and reduction in solid-state nanopores

TL;DR: In this article, a technique for reducing the dielectric noise by curing polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) on the nanopore support chip was presented, yielding an unprecedented signal-to-noise ratio when observing dsDNA translocation events and ssDNA probe capture for force spectroscopy applications.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Nanosensor for Transmembrane Capture and Identification of Single Nucleic Acid Molecules

TL;DR: The detection method presented in this article is a candidate for in vivo single-molecule detection and, through parallelization in a synthetic device, for genotyping and global transcription profiling from small samples.
Journal ArticleDOI

Freely orbiting magnetic tweezers to directly monitor changes in the twist of nucleic acids

TL;DR: Free orbiting MT (FOMT) is presented that allow the measurement of equilibrium fluctuations and changes in the twist of tethered nucleic acid molecules and to measure the force-dependent torsional stiffness of DNA from equilibrium rotational fluctuations.
