Abstract
Methods, systems, and kits for sequencing a template nucleic acid molecule using a catalyst-scaffold complex are provided. In some aspects, the catalyst-scaffold complex comprises a palladium catalyst that deblocks allyl groups on reversibly terminated nucleotides for use in a sequencing reaction, such as an in situ sequencing reaction in a sample comprising cells and/or cell nuclei. In some aspects, nucleic acid molecules such as rolling circle amplification products in a cell or tissue sample are sequenced in situ using a catalyst-scaffold complex disclosed herein for deprotecting reversibly terminated nucleotides.
Claims25
A method of sequencing a template nucleic acid molecule, comprising:
- (a) providing a priming strand bound to a template nucleic acid molecule, wherein the priming strand comprises a 3′ terminal nucleotide comprising a 3′ blocking group;
- (b) contacting the priming strand with a catalyst-scaffold complex comprising a transitional metal catalyst and a scaffold to generate a deblocked priming strand, wherein the transitional metal catalyst catalyzes removal of the 3′ blocking group;
- and
- (c) incorporating a free nucleotide into the deblocked priming strand using the template nucleic acid molecule as a template.
