In one aspect, the disclosed technology relates to nanopore sequencing with a polynucleotide comprising a plurality of nucleotides, wherein each nucleotide comprises a linker construct between two positions of the nucleotide, wherein the linker construct optionally comprises a reporter moiety corresponding to the identity of the nucleotide, and wherein the linker construct is a part of the cleavable cyclic loop nucleotide comprising a cleavable site. In some embodiments, the nucleotides further comprise arresting constructs for slowing or halting the polynucleotide translocation through a nanopore.
