Abstract
Systems and methods of polynucleotide sequencing are provided. Systems and methods optimize control, speed, movement, and/or translocation of a sample (e.g., a polynucleotide) within, through, or at least partially through a nanopore or a type of protein or mutant protein in order to accumulate sufficient time and current blocking information to identify contiguous nucleotides or plurality of nucleotides in a single-stranded area of a polynucleotide.
Claims16
A method for sequencing a nucleic acid sample, comprising:
- (a) associating a plurality of oligonucleotide analogs with said nucleic acid sample;
- and
- (b) directing the nucleic acid sample through a nanopore, wherein an individual oligonucleotide analog of the plurality of oligonucleotide analogs becomes disassociated from the nucleic acid sample as the sequence of the nucleic acid sample is determined,
- wherein the plurality of oligonucleotide analogs that are associated with the nucleic acid sample comprise at least about 25% universal bases.
