What is Nanopore DNA Sequencing? Nanopore DNA sequencing is a cutting-edge technology that enables the direct, real-time analysis of long DNA or RNA fragments. Unlike conventional sequencing methods ...

Using an ionic solution, protein sequences can now be pulled through a nanopore. Researchers at the University of Groningen (The Netherlands) have found a way to transport a protein through a nanopore ...

The first DNA sequencing was performed by Sanger and co-workers in the 1970s, using a method based on the attenuation of the growing nucleotide chain with dideoxythymidine triphosphate (ddTTP). The ...

Nanopores are tiny, nanometer-scale apertures that are synthetically produced in manufactured materials as well as biological membranes. They allow ions or molecules to pass through and have been ...

A pioneering partnership between researchers from The Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has produced a novel nanopore sensing platform for ...

Protein sequencing presents different challenges than nucleic acid sequencing, meaning that proteomics has yet to benefit as much as genomics from the next-generation sequencing revolution. However, ...
