Abstract:
Systems and methods of enhancing fluorescent labeling strategies as well as systems and methods of using non-fluorescent and/or non-optic labeling strategies, e.g., as with single molecule sequencing using ZMWs, are described.
Abstract:
Methods of producing substrates having selected active chemical regions by employing elements of the substrates in assisting the localization of active chemical groups in desired regions of the substrate. The methods may include optical, chemical and/or mechanical processes for the deposition, removal, activation and/or deactivation of chemical groups in selected regions of the substrate to provide selective active regions of the substrate.

Abstract:
Compositions that include polymerases with features for improving entry of nucleotide analogues into active site regions and for coordinating with the nucleotide analogues in the active site region are provided. Methods of making the polymerases and of using the polymerases in sequencing and DNA replication and amplification as well as kinetic models of polymerase activity and computer-implemented methods of using the models are also provided.
Abstract:
Modified surfaces, substrates, and methods of producing and using such substrates and surfaces are provided. The substrates and surfaces provide either non- reactive surfaces or low density reactive groups, preferably on an otherwise non-reactive surface, for use in different applications including single molecule analyses.
Abstract:
Isolated and/or recombinant enzymes that include surface binding domains, surfaces with active enzymes bound to them and methods of coupling enzymes to surfaces are provided. Enzymes can include large and/or multiple surface coupling domains for surface coupling.

Abstract:
Compositions and methods for nucleic acid sequencing include template constructs that comprise double stranded portions in a partially or completely contiguous constructs, to provide for redundant sequence determination through one or both of sequencing sense and antisense strands, and iteratively sequencing the entire construct multiple times. Additional sequence components are also optionally included within such template constructs. Methods are also provided for the use and preparation of these constructs as well as sequencing compositions for their application.
