Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for en masse patterning of nucleic acid molecule structures are disclosed. The devices can include microchannels and nanoslits. The microchannels and nanoslits can be connected by parking chambers. The systems and methods can utilize the geometry of the devices in coordination with a voltage application routine to park nucleic acid molecules in the parking chambers and subsequently inject the nucleic acid molecules into the nanoslits. The methods can be utilized to present nucleic acid molecules in a fashion suitable for genomic analysis. The methods can also be utilized to provide size selection of the nucleic acid molecules.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for DNA sequence analysis and a method for DNA sequence analysis, the method comprising treating a sample with the composition. The composition of the present invention can attain efficient optical identification at a single-DNA molecule level by linking both an A/T-specific DNA-binder agent and an A/T-non-specific complementary DNA-binder agent to DNA, and thus can be helpfully used in studying chromosomal organization of genomes, protein immunolocalization, and the like.
