Nanopore-based DNA sequencing is the most promising third-generation sequencing method. It has superior read length, speed, and sample requirements compared with state-of-the-art second-generation methods. However, base-calling still presents substantial difficulty because the resolution of the technique is limited compared with the measured signal/noise ratio. Here we demonstrate a method to decode 3-bp-resolution nanopore electrical measurements into a DNA sequence using a Hidden Markov model. This method shows tremendous potential for accuracy (~98%), even with a poor signal/noise ratio.
基于纳米孔的 DNA 测序是最有前途的第三代测序方法。与最先进的第二代方法相比,它具有优越的读取长度、速度和样品要求。然而,碱基调用仍然存在很大的困难,因为与测量的信号/噪声比相比,该技术的分辨率有限。在这里,我们展示了一种使用隐马尔可夫模型将 3 个碱基分辨率的纳米孔电测量结果解码为 DNA 序列的方法。即使在信噪比较差的情况下,该方法也具有很高的准确性(~98%)。
