    Abstract: This disclosure provides chips, systems and methods for sequencing a nucleic acid sample. Tagged nucleotides are provided into a reaction chamber comprising a nanopore in a membrane. An individual tagged nucleotide of the tagged nucleotides can contain a tag coupled to a nucleotide, which tag is detectable with the aid of the nanopore. Next, an individual tagged nucleotide of the tagged nucleotides can be incorporated into a growing strand complementary to a single stranded nucleic acid molecule derived from the nucleic acid sample. With the aid of the nanopore, a tag associated with the individual tagged nucleotide can be detected upon incorporation of the individual tagged nucleotide. The tag can be detected with the aid of the nanopore when the tag is released from the nucleotide.

    Abstract: Described herein are methods and devices for capturing and determining the identity of molecules using nanopores. The molecules can be counted, sorted and/or binned rapidly in a parallel manner using a large number of nanopores (e.g., 132,000 nanopores reading 180 million molecules in 1 hour). This fast capture and reading of a molecule can be used to capture probe molecules or other molecules that have been generated to represent an original, hard to detect molecule or portions of an original molecule. Precise counting of sample molecules or surrogates for sample molecules can occur. The methods and devices described herein can, among other things, replace flow cytometers and other counting instruments (e.g., while providing increased precision and throughput relative to a flow cytometer). In some cases, the devices and methods capture and hold particular molecules or surrogates of molecules in the nanopores and then eject them into clean solution to perform a capture, sorting, and binning function similar to flow cytometers.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides biochips and methods for making biochips. A biochip can comprise a nanopore in a membrane (e.g., lipid bilayer) adjacent or in proximity to an electrode. Methods are described for forming the membrane and insert-ing the nanopore into the membrane. The biochips and methods can be used for nucleic acid (e.g., DNA) sequencing. The present disclosure also describes methods for detecting, sorting, and binning molecules (e.g., proteins) using biochips.

    Abstract: Provided is a method for detecting a target molecule. The method includes providing a chip, the chip including a nanopore in a membrane that is disposed adjacent to or in proximity to a sensing electrode. A nucleic acid molecule is then directed through the nanopore, the nucleic acid molecule being associated with a reporter molecule. The nucleic acid molecule also includes an address region and a probe region, the reporter molecule being associated with the nucleic acid molecule at the probe region. The reporter molecule is also coupled to a target molecule. While the nucleic acid molecule is directed through the nanopore, the address region can be sequenced to determine a nucleic acid sequence of the address region. The target molecule can then be identified, with the aid of a computer processor, based upon the nucleic acid sequence of the address region.
