Nucleic acid sequencing methods and related devices, products and kits are disclosed. Methods for sequencing a target nucleic acid comprise providing a daughter strand produced by a template-directed synthesis, the daughter strand comprising a plurality of subunits coupled in a sequence corresponding to a contiguous nucleotide sequence of all or a portion of the target nucleic acid, wherein the individual subunits comprise a probe and a reporter construct. The subunit encodes sequence information in its reporter construct that is less than sequence information in the corresponding portion of the target nucleic acid. The reduced information allows for reduced resolution requirements on the detection system and for increased size of resolvable reporter groups.
