According to preliminary experiments by one group, headed by Joshua Edel at Imperial College London, this approach should be able to sequence an entire genome in just a few minutes.

根据伦敦帝国大学的，由乔舒亚·埃德尔领导的一个小组初步的实验结果，这种工艺可以在短短几分钟之内测序一整个基因组。

Until now many researchers have argued that it would be impossible to sequence the entire genome of an extinct creature because the samples are so degraded.

到目前为止，许多研究人员争论说对一种已经灭绝的物种进行全基因组测序是不可能的，因为那些标本退化严重。

Though the firm has proved the principle, a single pore would take about 70 days to sequence an entire human genome (which has roughly the same number of letters as 1,000 Russian novels).

这家公司已经证实了这一原理。一个单孔能在大约70天左右测定整个人类基因序列(序列数目大约同1000篇俄国小说中的字母数目一样)。

ECONOMIST: Nanopores may lead the way to a new generation of sequencing

The monumental effort to sequence the entire human genome -- to spell out the 3 billion or so combinations of those letters in a cell's DNA -- is keeping a lot of academic and commercial laboratories busy.
