Methods are being developed to characterize epigenomic and epitranscriptomic events beyond base modifications at the single-molecule level, such as nucleosome occupancy and chromatin accessibility72,175,176 and RNA secondary structure184,185. In recent years long-read technologies have moved from being a niche and specialist field to a point of relative maturity likely to feature frequently in the genomic landscape. The membrane is resistant to the electric current, meaning the only way for current to flow across the membrane is to travel through the pore. Indeed, this motor protein provided the last piece of the puzzle; in February 2012, two groups demonstrated processive recordings of ionic currents for single-stranded DNA molecules that could be resolved into signals from individual nucleotides by combining phi29 DNA polymerase and a nanopore (-hemolysin24 and MspA25).
