A low-cost technology may make it possible to read long sequences of DNA far more quickly than current techniques. One reason why people are so excited about nanopore DNA sequencing is that the technology could possibly be used to create tricorder-like devices for detecting pathogens or diagnosing genetic disorders rapidly and on-the-spot >>Nanopore technology takes advantage of the small, tunnel-like structures in bacterial membranes >>such pores allow bacteria to control the flow of nutrients across their membranes.
