Nanopore Sequencing

Nanopore sequencing is a technique used to read the DNA or RNA molecules directly by passing them through tiny holes called nanopores. As a molecule moves through a nanopore, it causes changes in electrical signals, which are detected and interpreted to determine the sequence of bases (the building blocks of genetic material). This method allows for real-time, long-read sequencing without the need for complex chemical processes, making it faster and capable of analyzing large, complex genomes efficiently. It’s a powerful tool for genetic research, diagnostics, and personalized medicine.
