Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for sequencing nucleic acid molecules. Methods may include sequencing double-stranded nucleic acids or single-stranded nucleic acids. Sequencing may include the use of nucleotides coupled to electrostatic moieties. The electrostatic moieties may be detected by a sensor array. The electrostatic moieties may be reversible electrostatic moieties that are cleaved from the nucleic acid molecule after incorporation of the nucleotide. The electrostatic moieties may be irreversible electrostatic moieties. Nucleotides comprising irreversible electrostatic moieties may be incorporated into the nucleic acid molecule, detected by the sensor array, and exchanged for non-detectable nucleotides.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides microfluidic devices, systems and methods for sample preparation and/or analysis. A microfluidic device can include a first channel having a sequence of (n) chambers each having a first volume (v). The first channel can include one or more valves at opposing ends of the first channel that fluidically isolate the first channel. The microfluidic device can further include a second channel in fluid communication with the first channel. The second channel can include at least one second chamber having a total second volume that is at least equal to the total volume of the first channel (n*v). The second channel can include one or more valves at opposing ends of the second channel that fluidically isolate the second channel from the first channel.
