Abstract: A method for nucleic acid sequencing includes receiving nucleic acid sequencing data from a sequencing instrument that receives and processes a sample nucleic acid in a sequencing-by-synthesis process. The method also includes generating a set of candidate sequences of bases for the observed or measured nucleic acid sequencing data by determining a predicted signal for candidate sequences using a simulation framework. The simulation framework incorporates an estimated carry forward rate (CFR), an estimated incomplete extension rate (IER), an estimated droop rate (DR), an estimated reactivated molecules rate (RMR), and an estimated termination failure rate (TFR), the RMR being greater than or equal to zero and the TFR being lesser than one. The method also includes identifying, from the set of candidate sequences of bases, a candidate sequence as corresponding to the sequence for the sample nucleic acid.

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.
