Stylized representation of Nanopore’s sequencing mechanism. Biological nanopores are embedded in a membrane. Double-stranded DNA is enzymatically unwound and the resulting ssDNA passes through the nanopore, disrupting the ionic flow through the nanopore in a characteristic manner dependent on the nucleotide bases within the pore.
