摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for nucleic acid sequencing, the method comprising: (a) providing a single stranded nucleic acid; (b) providing a plurality of probes; (c) polymerizing the plurality of probes in an order determined by hybridization of the hybridization moieties with the single stranded nucleic acid to be sequenced; (d) cleaving the cleavable groups to provide an expanded thread to be sequenced; (e) threading the expanded thread through a nanopore, wherein the gates prevent the expanded thread from threading through the nanopore in the reverse direction; and (f) detecting, with the aid of the nanopore, the loop structures of the expanded thread in the order determined by hybridization of the hybridization moieties with the single stranded nucleic acid to be sequenced, thereby sequencing the single stranded nucleic acid to be sequenced.

A nanopore based sequencing chip is disclosed. The sequencing chip comprises a first portion made from a first wafer. The first portion includes an array of nanopore cells. The first portion further includes a measurement circuit connected to one or more nanopore cells, the measurement circuit producing an output measurement signal. The first portion further includes one or more vias transmitting the output measurement signal. The sequencing chip further includes a second portion made from a second wafer, the second portion comprising one or more corresponding vias receiving the output measurement signal.
摘要:
A method of identifying a molecule is disclosed. A molecule is drawn to a nanopore by applying a first voltage signal to a pair of electrodes during a first period, wherein the first voltage signal causes a first ionic current through the nanopore that is indicative of a property of a portion of the molecule proximate to the nanopore. The molecule is released from the nanopore by applying a second voltage signal to the pair of electrodes during a second period, wherein the second voltage signal causes a second ionic current through the nanopore. The first period and the second period are determined based at least in part on a net ionic current through the nanopore comprising the first ionic current and the second ionic current.
摘要:
A method of analyzing molecules using a nanopore array including a plurality of cells included on a chip is disclosed. Nanopores are caused to be formed in at least a portion of the plurality of the cells. A first physical measurement of the nanopores is evaluated. It is determined whether to cause the molecules to interact with the nanopores. At least a portion of the nanopores is caused to interact with the molecules. A second physical measurement of the nanopores that indicates a property of the molecules is evaluated. It is determined whether to cause the nanopores to be reformed so that the cells may be reused to interact with additional molecules.
