通过把单个DNA链通过纳米直径的孔,荷兰的研究人员宣布了他们找到了一种新的技术原理,可用于检测DNA序列。
By feeding individual strands of DNA through nanometre-sized holes, researchers in the Netherlands say they have proved the principle of a revolutionary new DNA sequencing technique.
校正:这篇文章稍早的版本,错把“1996年最初把DNA链穿过用AHL蛋白质做成的纳米孔”作为了黑根·贝利的贡献。
Correction: an earlier version of this article wrongly attributed the initial threading of DNA through nanopores made using AHL proteins, in 1996, to Hagan Bayley.
纳米孔测序还可以应付更长的链,这也将帮助加速这项工作。
Nanopore sequencing can cope with much longer strands, which should help speed things up.
