  • Publication number: 20220106629
    Abstract: The invention provides methods for analyzing polynucleotides using nanopores that allow passage of single stranded polynucleotides but not double stranded polynucleotides. In accordance with some embodiments, a double-stranded product is produced that comprises a labeled strand with a single stranded tail or overhang. The double stranded product is exposed to one or more nanopores in the presence of an electric field across the one or more nanopores such that the single stranded tail may be captured and the labeled strand translocated by unzipping from the double stranded product. The ionic composition of the reaction mixture and electric field strength are selected so that nucleotides translocate a nanopore at a rate of less than 1000 nucleotides per second.
