Invention:
This invention pertains to a novel method for DNA sequencing utilizing graphene nanopores and photonic detection to achieve high-resolution base detection. By combining graphene, which has exceptional electrical and mechanical properties that enable high-resolution base detection, with light-based detection that can use multiple wavelengths to simultaneously to detect different base pairs, this method achieves high-resolution, rapid, and accurate DNA sequencing.
Background:
DNA sequencing is important for understanding genetic information, identifying diseases, developing treatments, and creating personalized medicine. Traditional methods, such as those that monitor electrical signals through nanopores, may have lower accuracy due to the rapid movement of DNA strands. This new method uses graphene and photonic detection to overcome these limitations, making DNA sequencing faster and more precise than current methods.
