	InstituteMany schemes for very long reads of DNA sequence propose to p
	ass the DNA through a nanopore so that each base appears at a reader i
	n exactly the order in which it is incorporated into the parent polyme
	r.  However\, a reading device with single base resolution is required
	.  Electron tunneling has been proposed as a probe because the phenome
	non is highly localized\, and we have shown that the base composition 
	of DNA oligomers can indeed be read by a chemically-functionalized tun
	neling probe. However\, single base resolution cannot be obtained beca
	use of the size of the tunnel junction that is required to support a s
	ignificant current.  Smaller single molecule targets are readily detec
	ted\, and an alternative tunneling scheme will be described.Event Cont
