Enhanced nanochannel translocation and localization of genomic DNA molecules using three-dimensional nanofunnels

Forcing a DNA molecule into a nanoscale channel requires overcoming the free energy barrier associated with confinement. Here, the authors show that DNA injected through a funnel-shaped entrance more efficiently enters the nanochannel, thanks to facilitating forces generated by the nanofunnel geomet...
