Abstract: Methods are provided for producing a molecular array comprising a plurality of molecules immobilized to a solid substrate at a density which allows individual immobilized molecules to be individually resolved, wherein each individual molecule in the array is spatially addressable and the identity of each molecule is known or determined prior to immobilization. The use of spatially addressable low density molecular arrays in single molecule detection and analysis techniques is also provided. Novel assays and methods are also provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of sequencing a target polynucleotide by enzymatic and/or chemical means. The sequencing method includes a method for characterizing multiple alleles in a sample, a method of calculating confidence levels in ascertained sequences, a method for comparing polynucleotide sequences, and a method of resolving ambiguities in a polynucleotide sequence. It also provides methods for appropriately preparing samples, for immobilizing template molecules, for organizing the template molecules, and to conduct the sequencing of many molecules in parallel. The method involves analyzing molecules as members of an array. Many target polynucleotides or many segments of a single target polynucleotide can be sequenced simultaneously. In a preferred embodiment, the method involves analyzing individual molecules within an array and base calls are based on the signals from two or more molecules. A method to prevent non-specific signal in sequencing is also provided.
