Abstract
Devices having nanochannels suitable for confinement and alignment of DNA molecules, as well as methods of fabricating the same and methods of using the same for DNA analysis, are provided. A device can include a dynamically-controlled, unified microchannel-nanochannel platform suitable for confinement and alignment of DNA molecules. The nanochannels can be reversibly formed within nanoslits formed in a deformable substrate or base layer.
