Science Magazine AksimentievLab Here’s the link to this paper in Science Magazine entitled “Multiple re-reads of single proteins at single-amino-acid resolution using nanopores”: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 2/x


AksimentievLab Strikingly, we can RE-read one and the same molecule hundreds of times, which drives the read accuracy to 100% with an error rate for single amino-acid variant identification of < 1 in 10^6 on 1 peptide molecule – alleviating a major problem in nanopore sequencing! 6/x
