    Abstract: A method for estimating error in expression data. In one embodiment, the method includes single molecule sequencing a plurality of expression tags from an organism; removing expression tags that ambiguously relate to multiple genes; assigning each remaining expression tag to a respective gene; selecting a random subset of the expression tags; and counting the number of expression tags associated with each gene. The process of selecting a random subset of the expression tags; and counting the number of expression tags associated with each gene is repeated a predetermined number of times, both for expression tags sequenced before and after exposure of the organism to a perturbation. The method also includes the step of calculating a measure of error in response to the counts of the number of expression tags before and after the perturbation.

    Abstract: A multi-channel flow cell can allow for reduced cross-contamination in sample loading and the ability to observe activity within the flow cell once the channels are loaded. A multi-channel flow cell includes a plurality of independently-addressable channels sandwiched between a two substrates. Each of the channels can be coated with a layer that facilitates support-binding of an analyte. Each of the channels terminates on one end in an inlet and on the other end in an outlet. A loading block having inlet ports that match the inlets of the channels can be mated to the inlets of the channels, and an outlet block can be mated to the outlets of the channels. Analytes can be introduced into the channels via the inlet ports of the loading block and are pulled through the channels by capillary action or by vacuum. Once analyte has been introduced into each of the channels, the loading and outlet blocks can be removed and the device turned over. Such a flow cell can be used for streamlining the process of reaction and interrogation of biochemical assays at the microfluidic level. Reagents can be introduced into each of the channels of the flow cell for chemical reactions therein, excess reagent being washed out through the channel outlets. Observation of optically-detectable moieties is then conducted. With such a flow cell optical labels associated with incorporation in a sequencing-by-synthesis reaction can be observed.
