  • Publication number: 20240158849
    Abstract: Provided herein are compositions and methods for sequencing using metal-coated polymers. In some examples, a bridge spans a space between first and second electrodes and includes a polymer chain having a first metal-coated region contacting the first electrode, a second metal-coated region contacting the second electrode, and an exposed region located between the first and second regions. The composition includes first and second polynucleotides; a plurality of nucleotides, each nucleotide coupled to a corresponding label; and a polymerase to add nucleotides of the plurality of nucleotides to the first polynucleotide using at least a sequence of the second polynucleotide. The composition includes detection circuitry to detect a sequence in which the polymerase adds the nucleotides to the first polynucleotide using at least changes in an electrical signal through the bridge, the changes being responsive to contact between the labels corresponding to those nucleotides and the exposed region.

  • Publication number: 20230175055
    Abstract: In some examples, a device includes first and second electrodes separated from one another by a space; a particle coupled to the first electrode via a first plurality of bonds, and coupled to the second electrode via a second plurality of bonds; and a polymerase coupled to the particle. In some examples, a composition includes first and second electrodes separated from one another by a space; a fluid including a first electrically conductive label having a length at least as long as a length of the space; and detection circuitry to generate a first signal responsive to transient formation, using the first electrically conductive label, of a first electrically conductive bridge between the first and second electrodes.
