Description

Nanopore sequencing method based on nano manipulation
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of measurement, and relates to a nanopore sequencing method based on nano manipulation, which can be suitable for DNA molecular sequencing by using a nanopore.
Background
Nanopore testing technology arose in the 90 s of the 20 th century and was vigorously developed to achieve nanopore sequencing. In 1996, researchers have achieved via detection of DNA molecules using biological nanopores, which has been developed over 16 years, proved to be able to perform DNA molecular sequencing in 2012, and developed the first commercial DNA sequencer from oxford nanopores in 2014.
The core technology of the nanopore sequencer comprises stability control of the nanopore, and improvement of detection spatial resolution and time resolution. The biological nano-pore is pushed out of the sequencer in preference to the solid nano-pore, and the main reason is that the pore diameter is stable, so that the consistency of sequencing signals is ensured. And the time resolution is controlled by a molecular motor (polymerase or helicase), so that the via speed of the DNA molecule can be reduced to a level which can be recognized by the instrument.
However, the molecular biological motor control DNA molecules still have a series of problems, firstly, the molecular motor and the biological nano-pore are fixed on a fragile gel bilayer, are greatly influenced by factors such as environment and the like, and are easily damaged in the use process; secondly, the manipulation of DNA molecules by molecular motors is determined by their own biological forces, which, although can be addressed by adjusting temperature, PH and designing different types of molecular motors, can still have a significant impact on the final detection accuracy; finally, molecular motor control is the unwinding or polymerization of DNA molecules, which is speed controlled based on the mechanism of DNA unwinding or polymerization, with the limitations of DNA molecule selection.
Therefore, it is particularly necessary to use more direct nano-manipulation techniques to solve the problem of the speed of molecular sequence vias. Magnetic forceps, optical forceps, atomic force probes, optical fiber probes, silicon probes, dual nanopore systems, and the like are all some feasible methods. The magnetic forceps, the optical forceps, the atomic force probe, the optical fiber probe and the like have higher manipulation precision and degree of freedom, but the probability of capturing manipulation molecules is smaller; the silicon probe solves the problem of capture rate, but the interference of adjacent molecules cannot be removed; the double-nanopore system has a certain feasibility, but separate detection of the double-nanopore system cannot be realized in engineering.

And then determining that the nano probe is contacted with the DNA library molecules and poking the DNA molecules to move so as to realize the entry and exit of the DNA molecules into and from the nano holes.
(6) The DNA molecules are manipulated out of and into the nanopore.
The exiting and entering of the DNA molecules into the nanopores refers to the movement condition that the DNA molecules to be detected are driven when the nanoprobe dials the DNA library molecules to move. The movement speed can be flexibly controlled by setting the control parameters of the nano-manipulation system.
(7) Analyzing the nanopore DNA sequencing signal.
The nanopore DNA sequencing signal is a current signal generated when a nanopore is accessed and exited by a nanopore manipulation DNA molecule, and analyzing the nanopore DNA sequencing signal comprises judging the starting or stopping signal of the access and the exit of the DNA molecule to be detected from the nanopore, the via hole signals of different nanopores of a double nanopore system and the accumulated signal of the differential signals of the double nanopore system. Through subsequent signal processing technology and analysis technology, the sequence signal of the DNA molecule can be effectively identified.
