nanopore. The speed at which it translocates means that many, many trials must be
performed in order to see a concrete difference in translocation time such as
in Fig. 5.9 . Finding ways to emphasize and increase this difference would make
the detection resolution much clearer and require fewer trials. The push is on to
develop a nanopore sensor which can detect each base of any DNA sequence
efficiently, quickly and cheaply.
