Abstract: A method, computer program, and computer system are provided for floating-point conversion with denormalization in a single clock cycle. An input floating-point number corresponding to an input data type is received. An exponent value and a fraction value are extracted from the received input floating-point number. A biasing constant associated with converting the received input floating-point number from the input data type to an output data type is determined. The exponent value is biased based on the biasing constant. The fraction value is converted to the output data type based on a denormalization constant associated with the extracted exponent value and the determined biasing constant. Biasing the exponent value and converting the fraction value occurs in a single clock cycle based on performing these actions in parallel. A floating-point number is output in the output data type corresponding to the converted fraction value and the biased exponent value.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides nucleotide conjugates each configured to include a core attached to multiple nucleotide-arms, where the nucleotide-arms are modular and comprise (i) a core attachment moiety, (ii) a spacer, (iii) a linker, and (iv) a nucleotide unit. The nucleotide unit of each nucleotide-arm can bind a polymerase which is complexed with a nucleic acid template and nucleic acid primer. The nucleotide unit can bind the 3? end of the primer at a position that is opposite a complementary nucleotide in the template strand. Under suitable conditions, the nucleotide unit of the nucleotide conjugates binds the primer strand but does not undergo polymerase-catalyzed incorporation. The binding event can be detected, and the specific base of the nucleotide unit can be identified. The nucleotide conjugates described herein are useful for nucleic acid sequencing methods, particularly for massively parallel sequencing methods employed for next gen sequencing platforms.
