The quantity and wealth of information that can be gathered from sequencing data has increased tremendously from Sanger sequencing to Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), with a corresponding precipitous drop in the cost of sequencing.1 Several new sequencing technologies have been developed in recent years, some of which enable the sequencing of single DNA molecules. Sequencing using nanopores, tiny apertures on the cell membrane, offers several advantages over existing technologies that use optical or pH change methods to detect DNA sequences.
