15. Note that, due to the asymmetric shape of the peaks in the histogram, the most probable translocation time does not necessarily coincide with the average translocation time. We have chosen to work with the most probable time because the overlap between the various peaks, in particular at shorter DNA lengths, complicates an accurate determination of the average. Fitting the mean translocation times yields an exponent of 1.30 ± 0.03.
16. Quantitatively, our results are in good agreement with those published in ref 8, which studies translocation of 3000 bp and 10000 bp DNA fragments through a 10 nm silicon-nitride nanopore, for which translocation times of 100 μs and 400 μs are reported, respectively.
