A Solid-state Sub-nm Pore for Single-mer Resolution Sequencing
摘要
Nanopore sequencing accuracy is inherently limited by the quality of data from individual molecular translocation events, requiring advances beyond traditional sequencing-by-synthesis methods. We introduce an oxidized pyramidal sub-nm pore (OPSP) integrated in a threeterminal sensing platform, where the sub-nm silicon pore functions as an electrode for detecting displacement currents across an oxide barrier, induced by counter-ion migration within the electric double layer. This platform achieves sub-1-nm-scale spatial resolution and a signal-tonoise ratio (SNR) up to 15 for biopolymer sequencing, enabling direct identification of individual bases in single-stranded DNA and single amino acids in peptides, with raw-read accuracies exceeding 98.5% and 95.5%, respectively, without consensus-based computational correction. The OPSP demonstrates high acid tolerance, reusability in varied chemical environments, and operational stability for over six months. This work establishes OPSP as a durable, high-accuracy platform for single-mer resolution sequencing, defining a reliable and robust paradigm for next-generation sequencing technologies.
