  • METHODS OF SAMPLE ENCODING FOR MULTIPLEX ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES BY SINGLE MOLECULE SEQUENCING
    Publication number: 20110301042
    Abstract: The invention generally relates to methods for sequencing a plurality of nucleic acids from different samples. In certain embodiments, methods of the invention provide contacting a nucleic acid duplex including a primer nucleic acid hybridized to a template nucleic acid with a polymerase enzyme in the presence of a first detectably labeled nucleotide under conditions that permit the polymerase to add nucleotides to the primer in a template-dependent manner, in which a unique oligonucleotide sequence is attached to the template nucleic acid so that the template nucleic acid may be differentiated from other template nucleic acid molecules, detecting a signal from the incorporated labeled nucleotide, and sequentially repeating the contacting and detecting steps at least once, wherein sequential detection of incorporated labeled nucleotide determines the sequence of the nucleic acid.
