Abstract
We report a simple method for extending DNA on atomically flat conductive graphite and gold surfaces employing molecular combing and using either coordinating ions on graphite or self-assembled molecular monolayers on gold. Extended DNA molecules on conductive surfaces can be used as platforms for building nanoscale electronic devices or used for direct electronic sequencing.
