Nanopore
From Biohack
Nanopore DNA sequencers are based around the idea of using molecular dynamics simulations to predict how we can run DNA molecules through nanopores, and then apply an electrical shock (just like in STMs) and based off of the resistance to the flow of electrons (current), we can determine which of the four nucleotides were present. There are a few research groups already working on this, although no physical implementations yet (they are all based on modelling).
