First Step Towards Electronic DNA Sequencing: Translocation Through Graphene Nanopores | Penn News

First Step Towards Electronic DNA Sequencing: Translocation Through Graphene Nanopores | Penn News: "PHILADELPHIA –- Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have developed a new, carbon-based nanoscale platform to electrically detect single DNA molecules.

Using electric fields, the tiny DNA strands are pushed through nanoscale-sized, atomically thin pores in a graphene nanopore platform that ultimately may be important for fast electronic sequencing of the four chemical bases of DNA based on their unique electrical signature."
