To take full advantage of the individualized medicine prospects, an error rate less than 1/100,000 is needed (this is one of the conditions to obtain the Archon X Prize for Genomics ). Current methods used for DNA sequencing have error rates of approximately 1/1000. The NTD Nanoscope offers the means to critically complete the SNP and RNA-seq data processing pipeline. The NTD Nanoscope Kit, in particular, is a component-level reproduction of the standard NTD device used in previous research papers. In this paper we provide an overview of the NTD Nanoscope applications and implementations. In both cases a lipid bi-layer workstation is first established, then augmentations and operational protocols are provided to have a nanopore transduction detector. is developing both pre-packaged device platforms and component-level (unassembled) kit platforms (the latter described here). The NTD Nanoscope has seen limited use in the scientific community, however, due to lack of information about potential applications, and lack of availability for the device itself. Nanopore event transduction involves single-molecule biophysics, engineered information flows, and nanopore cheminformatics. Nanopore transduction detection (NTD) offers prospects for a number of highly sensitive and discriminative applications, including: (i) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) detection (ii) targeted DNA re-sequencing (iii) protein isoform assaying and (iv) biosensing via antibody or aptamer coupled molecules.
