Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of using nanopores to obtain sequence information of sample DNAs in ss test DNAs. The method comprises using speed bumps to stall the ss test DNAs in the nanopores at random positions of the ss test DNAs to obtain sequence information of each and every nucleotides of the sample DNAs, and to construct the whole sequences of the sample DNAs. The present invention also relates to identification and/or isolation of test DNAs having desired sequence(s) using nanopore detectors facilitated by speed bump.

Abstract: Techniques for manipulating a molecule in a nanopore embedded in a lipid bilayer are described. In one example, an acquiring electrical stimulus level is applied across a lipid bilayer wherein a region of the lipid bilayer containing the nanopore is characterized by a resistance and wherein the acquiring electrical stimulus level tends to draw the molecule from a surrounding fluid into the nanopore, a change in the resistance of the lipid bilayer resulting from the acquisition of at least a portion of a molecule into the nanopore is detected, the acquiring electrical stimulus level is changed to a holding electrical stimulus level wherein the portion of the molecule remains in the nanopore upon the changing of the acquiring electrical stimulus level to the holding electrical stimulus level.
