Development of nanopore technology for single molecule detection
Nanopore sequencing is a third-generation approach used in the sequencing of DNA or RNA and other biopolymers. A single molecule of DNA or RNA can be sequenced without polymerase chain reaction amplification or chemical labelling of the sample using this technology. Funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the DYNAMO project will organise a research and training network for developing the next-generation single molecule technologies using hybrid DNA and metallic nanostructures. The network will include academic and high-tech industry partners that are experts in optical spectroscopy, DNA nanostructure, nanopore technology, and single molecule detection. The DYNAMO objective is to prepare the next generation of highly skilled researchers that will advance the science of single molecule detection and characterisation.
