    摘要: The present methods and apparatus concern nucleic acid sequencing by incorporation of nucleotides into nucleic acid strands. The incorporation of nucleotides is detected by changes in the mass and/or surface stress of the structure. In some embodiments of the invention, the structure comprises one or more nanoscale or microscale cantilevers. In certain embodiments of the invention, each different type of nucleotide is distinguishably labeled with a bulky group and each incorporated nucleotide is identified by the changes in mass and/or surface stress of the structure upon incorporation of the nucleotide. In alternative embodiments of the invention only one type of nucleotide is exposed at a time to the nucleic acids. Changes in the properties of the structure may be detected by a variety of methods, such as piezoelectric detection, shifts in resonant frequency of the structure, and/or position sensitive photodetection.

    摘要: Methods and apparatuses for sequencing single polymer molecules, such as a nucleic acid strand, are discussed. A discussed method comprises dividing a polymer sample into a number of polymer subsamples equal to the number of different monomer types and partially labeling only one of the monomer types in each polymer subsample. The method may further comprise placing a subsample into a reaction chamber, sequentially separating each monomer from the polymer subsample, and detecting the labels of each separated labeled monomer as a function of time. The time between each labeled monomer may be used to construct a monomer-time map for each polymer sub-sample using overlapping data analysis and frequency analysis. Time maps may then be assembled/aligned into a polymer sequence from the monomer-time maps of each of the polymer subsamples using non-overlapping data analysis.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for assaying cell samples, which may be living cells, using probes labeled with composite organic-inorganic nanoparticles (COINs) and microspheres with COINs embedded within a polymer matrix to which the probe moiety is attached. COINs intrinsically produce SERS signals upon laser irradiation, making COIN-labeled probes particularly suitable in a variety of methods for assaying cells, including biological molecules that may be contained on or within cells, most of which are not inherently Raman-active. The invention provides variations of the sandwich immunoassay employing both specific and degenerate binding, methods for reverse phase assay of tissue samples and cell microstructures, in solution displacement and competition assays, and the like. Systems and chips useful for practicing the invention assays are also provided.

    摘要: The methods and apparatus disclosed herein concern nucleic acid sequencing by enhanced Raman spectroscopy. In certain embodiments of the invention, nucleotides are covalently attached to Raman labels before incorporation into a nucleic acid 13. Exonuclease 15 treatment of the labeled nucleic acid 13 results in the release of labeled nucleotides 16, 130, which are detected by Raman spectroscopy. In alternative embodiments of the invention, nucleotides 16, 130 released from a nucleic acid 13 by exonuclease 15 treatment are covalently cross-linked to silver or gold nanoparticles 140 and detected by surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), surface enhanced resonance Raman spectroscopy (SERFS) and/or coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS). Other embodiments of the invention concern apparatus 10, 100, 210 for nucleic acid sequencing.

    摘要: The invention provides methods for analyzing the protein content of a biological sample, for example to obtain a protein profile of a sample provided by a particular individual. The proteins and protein fragments in the sample are separated on the basis of chemical and/or physical properties and maintained in a separated state at discrete locations on a solid substrate or within a stream of flowing liquid. Raman spectra are then detected as produced by the separated proteins or fragments at the discrete locations such that a spectrum from a discrete location provides information about the structure or identity of one or more particular proteins or fragments at the discrete location. The proteins or fragments at discrete locations can be coated with a metal, such as gold or silver, and/or the separated proteins can be contacted with a chemical enhancer to provide SERS spectra. Method and kits for practicing the invention are also provided.
