![The figure shows a DNA strand with nucleotide bases (A, T, G and C) moving down through a pore the width of a molecule known as a "nanopore". The symbol X marks the location of the missing base that could lead to a disease outbreak. Through the attachment of a ring chemical molecule containing a sodium ion to the damaged site, the movement of DNA through the nanopore can be slowed down so that the point of damage can be located.
