DNA sequencing is important to science. While Professor Qian Linmao and his group from Tribology Research Institute, Southwest Jiaotong University, were working on the optimization of the third-generation sequencing technique based on nanopores, they found that long-chain DNA with low salt concentration is more conducive to the nanopore sequencing process. Their paper, "Effect of chain length on the conformation and friction behaviour of DNA," was published in Science China Technological Sciences.
