摘要:
Provided herein is a droplet actuator including (a) first and second substrates separated by a droplet-operations gap, the first and second substrates including respective hydrophobic surfaces that face the droplet-operations gap; (b) a plurality of electrodes coupled to at least one of the first substrate and the second substrate, the electrodes arranged along the droplet-operations gap to control movement of a droplet along the hydrophobic surfaces within the droplet-operations gap; and (c) a hydrophilic or variegated-hydrophilic surface exposed to the droplet-operations gap, the hydrophilic or variegated-hydrophilic surface being positioned to contact the droplet when the droplet is at a select position within the droplet-operations gap.
摘要:
A method for sequencing includes steps of (a) providing first and second nucleic acid templates, wherein the two templates have different sequences; (b) extending a first primer bound to the first template using a first polymerase species and a first set of nucleotide analogs; (c) extending a second primer bound to the second template using a second polymerase species and a second set of nucleotide analogs, wherein the first polymerase species is different from the second polymerase species and wherein the first set of nucleotide analog is different from the second set of nucleotide analog, (d) detecting the first and second primer extension products; and (e) repeating steps (b) through (d), thereby determining the different sequences of the first and second templates.
摘要:
Provided is an array including a solid support having a surface, the surface having a plurality of wells, the wells containing a gel material, the wells being separated from each other by interstitial regions on the surface, the interstitial regions segregating the gel material in each of the wells from the gel material in other wells of the plurality; and a library of target nucleic acids in the gel material, wherein the gel material in each of the wells comprises a single species of the target nucleic acids of the library. Methods for making and using the array are also provided.
