This article reviews the use of nanopore technology in DNA sequencing, genetics and medical diagnostics and suggests that nanopore-based sensors could be competitive with other third-generation DNA sequencing technologies.
Abstract
Nanopore analysis is an emerging technique that involves using a voltage to drive molecules through a nanoscale pore in a membrane between two electrolytes, and monitoring how the ionic current through the nanopore changes as single molecules pass through it. This approach allows charged polymers (including single-stranded DNA, double-stranded DNA and RNA) to be analysed with subnanometre resolution and without the need for labels or amplification. Recent advances suggest that nanopore-based sensors could be competitive with other third-generation DNA sequencing technologies, and may be able to rapidly and reliably sequence the human genome for under $1,000. In this article we review the use of nanopore technology in DNA sequencing, genetics and medical diagnostics.

Electrically controlled spin reversal and spin polarization of electronic transport in nanoporous graphene nanoribbons

TL;DR: In this paper, a three-terminal configuration is proposed, which can electronically control the spin polarization of transmission, instead of magnetic methods, by modulating the gate voltage, not only could the transmission be switched between completely spin up and spin down polarized states to realize a dual-spin filter, but also spin polarization could be finely tuned between 100% and -100%.

Label-Free Identification of Single Mononucleotides by Nanoscale Electrophoresis

TL;DR: In this article, a dual nanopore TOF sensor with 0.5, 1, and 5µm column lengths was used to discriminate four 2-deoxyribonucleoside 5'-monophosphates, dNMPs, in a label-free manner by nanoscale electrophoresis.

Full Width at Half Maximum of Nanopore Current Blockage Controlled by a Single-Biomolecule Interface

- 12 Jan 2022 - 
TL;DR: In this article , the authors proposed a new strategy for regulating molecular sensing from the duration of the analyte, which could guide the resolution of heterogeneity analysis using nanopores and established a substantial correlation between fwhm of current blockage and duration.

Electrical trapping mechanism of single-microparticles in a pore sensor

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of particle trajectory to the ionic conductance through a pore was studied, where the optical/electrical simultaneous sensing of electrophoretic capture dynamics of single-particles at a Pore using a microchannel/nanopore system was performed.

MicroRNA signatures in human cancers

TL;DR: The causes of the widespread differential expression of miRNA genes in malignant compared with normal cells can be explained by the location of these genes in cancer-associated genomic regions, by epigenetic mechanisms and by alterations in the miRNA processing machinery as discussed by the authors.

A haplotype map of the human genome

John W. Belmont, +232 more
TL;DR: A public database of common variation in the human genome: more than one million single nucleotide polymorphisms for which accurate and complete genotypes have been obtained in 269 DNA samples from four populations, including ten 500-kilobase regions in which essentially all information about common DNA variation has been extracted.
