Sequencing biopolymers
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and a corresponding arrangement for sequencing at least two biopolymers (6), wherein for each biopolymer (6) a sequence signal is picked up by a respective measured variable pickup on the basis of the sequence of the biopolymer (6), the sequence signals are transferred to a shift register (16) and buffer-stored therein, the buffer-stored sequence signals are transferred from the shift register (16) sequentially to an evaluation device (26) and evaluated therein. Each sequence signal is preferably produced here by means of a nanopore arrangement (10). A corresponding sequencing arrangement (11) has the measured variable pickups and the shift register (16) integrated in it, preferably in an electrical circuit, that is to say on a sensor array, for example. Each sequence signal can be amplified here by a preamplifier (14) prior to transfer to the shift register (16). The transfer of the output signal (A) to the evaluation device (24) can comprise the amplification of the signal by an output amplifier (24) and/or at least one EMCCD stage (32).
