Nucleic acids, including deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), are
natural biopolymers composed of nucleotides that store, transmit, and express genetic …

This Review explores the dynamic behavior of water within nanopores and biological
channels in lipid bilayer membranes. We focus on molecular simulation studies, alongside …

The early detection of cancer can significantly reduce cancer mortality and saves lives. Thus,
a great deal of effort has been devoted to the exploration of new technologies to detect early …

Scope of the Review. Herein, we provide an up-to-date overview of the field of nanopore
sensing with emphases placed on the advances made in the most recent two years (2014 …

Nanopore-based sequencers, as the fourth-generation DNA sequencing technology, have
the potential to quickly and reliably sequence the entire human genome for less than 1000 …

Nanopores in thin membranes play important roles in science and industry. Single
nanopores have provided a step-change in portable DNA sequencing and understanding …

We have witnessed an explosion in our understanding of the evolution and structure of plant
genomes in recent years. Here, we highlight three important emergent realizations:(1) that …

Solid-state nanopores are nm sized apertures formed in thin synthetic membranes. These
single molecule sensors have been used in a variety of biophysical and diagnostic …

Membrane nanopores—hollow nanoscale barrels that puncture biological or synthetic
membranes—have become powerful tools in chemical-and biosensing, and have achieved …

First-and second-generation sequencing technologies have led the way in revolutionizing
the field of genomics and beyond, motivating an astonishing number of scientific advances …
