Graphene Could Improve DNA Sequencing
Abstract:
Layers of graphene that are only as thick as an atom could help make human DNA sequencing faster and cheaper. Harvard University and MIT researchers have shown that sheets of graphene could be a big improvement over membranes that are currently used for nanopore sequencing--a technique that promises to speed up and simplify the sequencing of long strands of DNA.
