Negative nanopore sequencing for mapping biochemical processes on DNA molecules

Chem Commun (Camb). 2023 Jul 27;59(61):9388-9391. doi: 10.1039/d3cc02112b.

Abstract

Nanopore sequencing maps biochemical processes on DNA by detecting negative peaks in the sequence alignment profile. Protein-bound DNA and single-strand broken DNA cannot pass through nanopores, resulting in unaligned regions in the genome MAP. This novel approach provides a clear representation of genomic biochemical events.
