Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for sampling/isolating material from cells. An exemplary system may comprise a chip including an electrode array of sampling electrodes arranged along a surface of the chip. A cell-receiving area may be located adjacent the surface of the chip. The system also may comprise a tag array of tags supported by the chip and aligned with the electrode array. Each tag of the tag array may include an identifier that is unique to the tag within the tag array. Each tag may be configured to bind nucleic acids, or a capturing agent distinct from the tag may be aligned with each sampling electrode of the electrode array to capture a protein or other analyte of interest. The system further may comprise a control circuit configured to apply an individually controllable voltage to each sampling electrode of the electrode array and measure an electrical property of the sampling electrode.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods for isolating polymerase complexes from a mixture of polymerase complex components. The polymerase complexes can comprise a nanopore to provide isolated nanopore sequencing complexes. The methods relate to the positive and negative isolation of the polymerase complexes and/or nanopore sequencing complexes. Also disclosed is a nucleic acid adaptor for isolating active polymerase complexes, polymerase complexes comprising the nucleic acid adaptor, and methods for isolating active polymerase complexes using the nucleic acid adaptor.

Abstract: Described herein are polymerase variants that are exonuclease deficient. Some variants retain the strand displacement capability comparable to the wild-type or parental polymerase. Some variants have a strand displacement capability that is improved relative to the wild-type or parental polymerase. The variants may have an extension rate that is greater than the wild-type or parental polymerase. The variants may have a waiting time that is less than the wild-type or parental polymerase.

Abstract: Sequencing adaptors and methods are provided for preparation of polynucleotides for sequencing. The sequencing adaptors contain a portion of a recognition sequence for a methyl-dependent endonuclease. Unwanted adaptor dimers that form during ligation of adaptors to target polynucleotides produce a complete restriction sequence and are cleaved by the endonuclease, followed by exonuclease digestion, thereby removing the dimers.

Abstract: This disclosure provides chips, systems and methods for sequencing a nucleic acid sample. Tagged nucleotides are provided into a reaction chamber comprising a nanopore in a membrane. An individual tagged nucleotide of the tagged nucleotides can contain a tag coupled to a nucleotide, which tag is detectable with the aid of the nanopore. Next, an individual tagged nucleotide of the tagged nucleotides can be incorporated into a growing strand complementary to a single stranded nucleic acid molecule derived from the nucleic acid sample. With the aid of the nanopore, a tag associated with the individual tagged nucleotide can be detected upon incorporation of the individual tagged nucleotide. The tag can be detected with the aid of the nanopore when the tag is released from the nucleotide.
