    Abstract: Mathematical models for the analysis of signal data generated by sequencing of a polynucleotide strand using a pH-based method of detecting nucleotide incorporation(s). In an embodiment, the measured output signal from the reaction confinement region of a reactor array is mathematically modeled. The output signal may be modeled as a linear combination of one or more signal components, including a background signal component. This model is solved to determine the nucleotide incorporation signal. In another embodiment, the incorporation signal from the reaction confinement region of a reactor array is mathematically modeled.

    Abstract: A method for sequencing a polynucleotide strand by using sequencing-by-synthesis techniques. To address the problem of incomplete extension (IE) and/or carry forward (CF) errors that can occur in sequencing-by-synthesis reactions, an alternative flow ordering of dNTPs is used. In contrast to conventional flow orderings, the dNTPs are flowed in an ordering that is not a continuous repeat of an ordering of the four different dNTPs. This alternate flow ordering may reduce the loss of phasic synchrony in the population of template polynucleotide strands that result from IE and/or CF errors.
