Nanopore method could revolutionize genome sequencing

method it is necessary to chop the DNA into smaller pieces, copy the DNA and use multiple sequencing machines, which introduces additional sources of error."

The study was funded by the National Science Foundation and by the National Human Genome Research Institute at the National Institutes of Health. The NIH funds are from a program launched in 2004 to encourage researchers to pursue a wide range of ideas to sequence a mammal-sized genome for $1,000. The researchers say that as physicists they take a unique approach to the problem.

"We don't think of it as DNA, we view it as a bunch of atoms and electrons that behave in ways we can predict and manipulate," said Di Ventra.
