NIST Simulates New Method for fast, accurate DNA sequencing.

2016-01-20 14:31:10| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today

By pulling DNA molecule through tiny, chemically activated hole in graphene and detecting changes in electrical current, researchers at NIST simulated new concept for rapid, accurate gene sequencing. NIST study, "Nucleobase-functionalized graphene nanoribbons for accurate high-speed DNA sequencing," suggests this method could identify ~66 billion bases/sec with 90% accuracy and 0 false positives. This might prove faster and cheaper than conventional DNA sequencing.
