  • Publication number: 20240360505
    Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for analyte detection and analysis. A system can comprise an open substrate. The open substrate may be configured to rotate or otherwise move. The open substrate can comprise an array of individually addressable locations, with analytes immobilized thereto. The substrate may be spatially indexed to identify nucleic acid molecules from one or more sources, and/or sequences thereof, with the respective one or more sources. A solution comprising a plurality of probes may be directed across the array to couple at least one of the plurality of probes with at least one of the analytes to form a bound probe. A detector can be configured to detect a signal from the bound probe via scanning of the substrate while minimizing temperature fluctuations of the substrate or optical aberrations caused by bubbles.

  • Publication number: 20240132955
    Abstract: Provided herein are reagents, compositions, and methods for sequencing nucleic acids. Among the reagents disclosed are nucleotides labeled with cleavable linkers. Certain linkers are configured to undergo immolation reactions following cleavage, which can generate scars with enhanced properties for nucleic acid sequencing and synthesis. The present disclosure also provides reagents, compositions, and methods for capping scars generated through linker cleavage, which can alter scar properties, and in some cases can increase the rate and accuracy of nucleotide incorporations during polymerization.
