Abstract:
The invention provides methods for sequencing a polynucleotide comprising stopping an extension cycle in a sequence by synthesis reaction before the reaction has run to near or fill completion.
Abstract:
The invention provides methods for determining the presence of a disease by comparing a sequence from a single target molecule with a predetermined sequence that is associated with a specific disease.
Abstract:
The invention provides methods for sequencing a nucleic acid comprising conducting rolling circle amplification on a circular nucleic acid template, wherein the resulting amplicon is optionally anchored to a substrate in an individually optically resolvable manner, and performing a sequencing reaction.
Abstract:
The invention provides methods and devices for high throughput single molecule sequencing of a plurality of target nucleic acids using a universal primer. Devices of the invention comprise a plurality of oligonucleotides, each having the same sequence, bound to a solid support, and ligated to a plurality of target nucleic acids.
Abstract:
The invention provides methods for sequencing a polynucleotide comprising stopping an extension cycle in a sequence by synthesis reaction before the reaction has run to near or full completion.

Abstract:
The invention generally relates to methods for detecting fetal nucleic acids and methods for diagnosing fetal abnormalities. In certain embodiments, the invention provides methods for determining whether fetal nucleic acid is present in a maternal sample including obtaining a maternal sample suspected to include fetal nucleic acids, and performing a sequencing reaction on the sample to determine presence of at least a portion of a Y chromosome in the sample, thereby determining that fetal nucleic acid is present in the sample. In other embodiments, the invention provides methods for quantitative or qualitative analysis to detect fetal nucleic acid in a maternal sample, regardless of the ability to detect the Y chromosome, particularly for samples including normal nucleic acids from a female fetus.
