Abstract
In one aspect, the disclosed technology relates to systems and methods for sequencing polynucleotides. In one embodiment, the disclosed technology relates to a nanopore sensor device for identifying nucleotides, the nanopore sensor device including: one or more cis wells; one or more cis electrodes associated with the one or more cis wells; a plurality of trans wells, each of the plurality of trans wells separated from the one or more cis wells by a lipid or solid-state membrane having a nanopore; a plurality of field effect transistors (FETs), each of the plurality of FETs associated with one of the plurality of trans wells; an electrical source configured to provide alternating current (AC) inputs between the one or more cis electrodes and the source terminals of the plurality of FETs; and a controller operably coupled to the plurality of FETs, the controller configured to measure AC responses of the plurality of FETs, wherein the AC responses depend on the identities of the nucleotides within or near the nanopores.
