Solid-State Nanopore-Based DNA Sequencing Technology

Abstract EN

The solid-state nanopore-based DNA sequencing technology is becoming more and more attractive for its brand new future in gene detection field.

The challenges that need to be addressed are diverse: the effective methods to detect base-specific signatures, the control of the nanopore’s size and surface properties, and the modulation of translocation velocity and behavior of the DNA molecules.

Among these challenges, the realization of the high-quality nanopores with the help of modern micro/nanofabrication technologies is a crucial one.

In this paper, typical technologies applied in the field of solid-state nanopore-based DNA sequencing have been reviewed.
