This crochet pattern is for a DNA-sequencing nanopore, such as the technology developed by Oxford Nanopore Technologies.
There are three parts, the biological protein nanopore (Alpha-hemolysin), the DNA intended for sequencing, and a motor protein, which acts as an adapter to associate with the nanopore protein.

This pattern incorporates the DNA double-helix pattern by Jessica Polka: https://jpolka.blogspot.com/2014/02/how-to-crochet-dna-wi...
