Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and compositions for detection of one or more specific sequences of polynucleotides in a solution using a nanopore. In some embodiments, methods and compositions for identifying a polynucleotide in a sample or for target sequence detection of a polynucleotide are disclosed herein.

Abstract: Provided are methods for detecting a target molecule or particle suspected to be present in a sample, comprising (a) contacting the sample with (i) a fusion molecule comprising a ligand capable of binding to the target molecule or particle and a binding domain, and (ii) a polymer scaffold comprising at least one binding motif to which the binding domain is capable of binding, under conditions that allow the target molecule or particle to bind to the ligand and the binding domain to bind to the binding motif; (b) loading the polymer into a device comprising a pore that separates an interior space of the device into two volumes, and configuring the device to pass the polymer through the pore from one volume to the other volume, wherein the device further comprises a sensor adjacent to the pore configured to identify objects passing through the pore; and (c) determining, with the sensor, whether the fusion molecule or particle bound to the binding motif is bound to the target molecule or particle, thereby detect

Abstract: Devices and methods for detecting a target molecule are provided herein. The methods entail contacting a sample with a polymer scaffold, the polymer comprising at least one association site configured to associate with the target molecule. The sample is brought into contact with the polymer to determine whether the target molecule is present in the sample under conditions allowing the target molecule, if present, to associate with the polymer scaffold. The methods further involve loading the polymer into a device comprising a pore or channel that connects two volumes, configuring the device to pass the polymer through the pore or channel from one volume to the other volume, and determining, with a sensor configured to detect objects passing through the pore or channel, whether the target molecule is associated with the association site, and thereby detecting the presence or absence of the target molecule in the sample.
