Abstract: System for detection and/or analysis of nucleic acids using nanowires to detect covalent modification of nucleic acids.

Abstract: Provided herein are compositions and systems for use in polymerase-dependent, nucleotide transient-binding methods. The methods are useful for deducing the sequence of a template nucleic acid molecule and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analyses. The methods rely on the fact that the polymerase transient-binding time for a complementary nucleotide is longer compared to that of a non-complementary nucleotide. The labeled nucleotides transiently-binds the polymerase in a template-dependent manner, but does not incorporate. The methods are conducted under any reaction condition that permits transient binding of a complementary or non-complementary nucleotide to a polymerase, and inhibits nucleotide incorporation.

Abstract: A scanning detection system is provided wherein emissions from locations in a flow cell are detected. In some embodiments, the system can comprise an excitation source, a photocleavage source, and modulating optics configured to cause an excitation beam generated by the excitation source to irradiate a first group of the fixed locations and to cause a photocleavage beam generated by the photocleavage source to irradiate a second group of the fixed locations, which is separate and apart from the first group of fixed locations. Methods of detecting sequencing reactions using such a system are also provided.

Abstract: System for detection and/or analysis of nucleic acids using nanowires to detect covalent modification of nucleic acids.

Abstract: A system and method for analyzing nucleic acids is presented herein. The system can include a nanowire assembly including a plurality of nanowires. In some embodiments, at least two nanowires can be coupled to a different probe corresponding to a different sequence version of a polymorphism. The system can include a reagent delivery system capable of delivering a template polymorphic nucleotide, an extension nucleic acid, and an enzyme to the nanowire assembly. The system can include an electrical detector configured to measure an electrical characteristic of the nanowire assembly and/or a controller in communication with the reagent delivery system. In some embodiments, the electrical detector can be configured to collect data corresponding to changes in the electrical characteristic in response to contact with the template polymorphic nucleotide, the extension nucleic acid, and the enzyme.
