A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11884024B2) discloses a system designed to identify the base of a nucleic acid molecule using a nanopore-based approach. The system includes a sensing circuit connected to a nanopore, an electrical circuit for applying electrical stimuli, and a processor programmed to control the circuits. The processor records electrical measurements as the nucleic acid molecule passes through the nanopore under different electrical stimuli, allowing for the identification of bases based on these measurements. By repeating the electrical measurements under similar or different conditions, the system aims to increase confidence in the identification process.
Furthermore, the system described in the patent includes features such as applying progression and reverse progression electrical stimuli with different polarities to manipulate the movement of the nucleic acid molecule through the nanopore. This method allows for the recording of electrical measurements indicative of the bases present in the molecule, aiding in the accurate identification of the base. Additionally, the system can target specific regions of the nucleic acid molecule, such as single-nucleotide polymorphism sites or protein binding sites, by adjusting the magnitude of the electrical stimuli. Overall, the system offers a comprehensive approach to base identification in nucleic acid molecules, with the potential for applications in various fields such as genomics and personalized medicine.
