Abstract: Methods of accurately determining DNA barcodes using a cylindrical nanopore system. The methods include steps of leveraging the average velocity of a double-stranded DNA segment passing through a single cylindrical nanopore that is measured through repeated scanning to accurately determine protein tag locations on the double-stranded DNA segment. As such, the methods provide for the accurate calculation of a barcode for the double-stranded DNA segment based on protein tag locations without underestimation or overestimate issues. The underlying concept and the methods are equally applicable to other multi-nanopore systems which use the dwell time and time of flight velocities to measure the barcodes.

Abstract: The disclosure develops a multi-scale model that partitions the device into different spatial regions where the high carrier domains are treated as reservoirs in local equilibrium and serve as injectors and receptors of carriers into the neighboring reservoirs through tunneling and thermionic emission. The nonequilibrium Green's function (NEGF) formalism is used to compute the dynamics (states) and the kinetics (filling of states) in the entire extended complex device. The local density of states in the whole device is computed quantum mechanically within a multi-band tight binding Hamiltonian. The model results agree with experimental I-V curves quantitatively.
