摘要
过去常被认为是科技发展未来方向的纳米技术现在已经成为现实。针对含有众多纳米大小物质的化学反应及细胞的分析正在加速靶点鉴定的速度和精确性。采用纳米芯片进行DNA测序可以在四小时内通读2．5亿碱基，同时保证99％以上的精确性。
Often hailed as the science of the future, nanotechnology is really very much in the present. Reaction and analysis cells that contain volumes of material as small as one nanolitre are increasing the speed and accuracy of target identification. DNA sequencing using nanoarrays is now capable of reading 25 million bases, at 99 per cent accuracy or better, in four hours.
