Abstract:
The methods, compositions and apparatus disclosed herein are of use for nucleic acid sequence determination. The methods involve isolation of one or more nucleic acid template molecules and polymerization of a nascent complementary strand of nucleic acid, using a DNA or RNA polymerase or similar synthetic reagent. As the nascent strand is extended one nucleotide at a time, the disappearance of nucleotide precursors from solution is monitored by Raman spectroscopy or FRET. The nucleic acid sequence of the nascent strand, and the complementary sequence of the template strand, may be determined by tracking the order of incorporation of nucleotide precursors during the polymerization reaction. Certain embodiments concern apparatus comprising a reaction chamber and detection unit, of use in practicing the claimed methods. The methods, compositions and apparatus are of use in sequencing very long nucleic acid templates in a single sequencing reaction.

Abstract:
The methods and apparatus disclosed herein are useful for detecting nucleotides, nucleosides, and bases and for nucleic acid sequence determination. The methods involve detection of a nucleotide, nucleoside, or base using surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The detection can be part of a nucleic acid sequencing reaction to detect uptake of a deoxynucleotide triphosphate during a nucleic acid polymerization reaction, such as a nucleic acid sequencing reaction. The nucleic acid sequence of a synthesized nascent strand, and the complementary sequence of the template strand, can be determined by tracking the order of incorporation of nucleotides during the polymerization reaction.
