  • Characterization of molecules in nanofluidics
    Patent number: 9809855
    Abstract: Methods are provided for characterizing a sample comprising polynucleotide sequences. The methods can comprise labeling nucleic acid molecules of the sample, translocating the plurality of labeled sample nucleic acid molecules though one or more fluidic nanochannels, detecting physical counts of signals from the labeled sample nucleic acid molecule, and determining a copy number of a genome or a fragment or fragments thereof in the sample.
