Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a bioanalytical system including a plurality of optical detecting devices and a bioanalytical system for detecting and analyzing biomolecules, and biomolecules such as nucleic acids . In one embodiment, the invention relates to a bioanalytical system comprising at least 10,000 optical detection devices for monitoring, in some embodiments, a plurality of fluorophore molecules for parallel detection Measuring and analyzing biomolecules. [Prior Art] The Human Genome Project (HGP) stimulates a large increase in the amount of sequencing processing and leads to a relatively low ordering cost. Compared to the cost of 13 years and nearly $3 billion per genomic body, the cost of sequencing has been significantly reduced. To be exact, two separate genomes have recently been completed (McGuire et al., 317:1687 (2007) ). The personal genome represents a paradigm shift in medical treatment for both patients and health care providers. By managing the genetic risk factors for disease, health care providers can implement preventive drugs and provide customized treatments more immediately. Due to the completion of the large genomic banks, drug design and drug administration can be more effective, pushing the initial field of pharmacogenetics forward. In order to popularize custom-made drugs for individuals, the National Institute of Human Genetics (NIH) National Institute of Human Genetics (NhgRI) has determined that the cost of sequencing each genome has dropped from a few million to nearly a thousand dollars. However, the general two-flux capillary electrophoresis and automated genomic sequencing techniques do not meet the increased demand for individual genome sequencing. In addition, the ordering method requires complex and error-prone images 撷2 and analysis steps. For example, in order to obtain multiple images, many current techniques are either arrays or detection systems to move. The resulting images can then be arranged, aligned and analyzed sequentially. Image Capture, Processing, and Analysis Steps White tends to be erroneous, takes extra time, and requires expensive equipment. Conversely, current systems that do not include mobile optics are often limited because of the large number of pre-test units. Finally, the current component does not place the molecule to be detected close to a corresponding detection unit, which substantially limits the strength of the detection signal. Therefore, there is a need for a device that reduces the cost of nucleic acid sequencing. In order to achieve the "$1000 genomic, paradigm, components need to be able to sequence multiple molecules in parallel, have simplified design and manufacturing processes, and avoid the need for scanning and image analysis of complex and error-prone trends in existing components and methods. The element needs to have the ability to sequence a single molecule to avoid expansion of the clustered sequencing method (eg, drift between sequences of ideal replica templates) and sequencing (step-by-step sequence reaction between sequencing templates) Dephasing of the stepwise sequencing reaction. The difficulty of the known different periods in the two steps. [Invention] The present invention provides a biological analysis system including a plurality of optical detecting devices and uses for nucleic acid.

The light emitting layer 420 of the excitation light source 4 emits excitation light into the concave portion 45 沿着 in a horizontal direction, and the horizontal side is as indicated in Fig. 4 on the light emitting layer. In this embodiment, the excitation light is emitted in the direction of the upper surface of the shield plate 230. Therefore, the excitation: can not interfere with the light reaching the light detecting H 21G. Optical detection devices are more accurate in identifying biomolecules than can be used. 2. Nucleic Acid Detection A bioanalytical system (including, for example, not a single optical detection, measurement: a plurality of such devices) can be used as part of the system for molecular inversion. In the method or process of knife detection, molecular detection, such as nucleic acid sequencing, and the methods and processes utilizing the same are useful for, for example, splitting. These applications can be for personal, public, [ 15 1378237 commercial or industrial. In some embodiments the 'biological analysis system is suitable for a large number of parallel sequencing of nucleic acids. In part, due to the direct connection of the link to the photodetector of the bioanalytical system and/or the close proximity of the link to the photodetector (shown as a large solid angle in some embodiments), embodiments may be used A bioanalytical system is provided to sequence nucleic acids without the need for expensive, complicated, and error-prone knowledge, such as a m〇ving scanning lens or a moving component (9) (10) ton Device stage) and subsequent image analysis 'thus reducing errors and costs. Bioanalytical systems detect signals with substantially improved signal intensities that make single molecule analysis possible. Bioanalytical systems can be used in a widely varying sequence, and the bioanalytical system is suitable for sequencing a single molecule. In addition, compared to current bio-two-piece 7L devices, the optical detection element has a simplified design, assembly, and, for example, randomization of the nucleic acid to be sequenced onto the array to avoid deposition or synthesis at predetermined locations. The time consumption of nucleic acids and the use of the machine. The tissue can be used in bioassay systems for both biomolecule detection methods and portions of the program t system, including nucleic acid hybridization or for, for example, whole gene sequence sequencing, transcriptional profiling, competitive transcriptional expression, or genetic identification. . Biomolecular detection can also include detection and/or measurement of binding to each other as a protein such as protein/protein, antibody/antigen, receptor/ligand, and nucleic acid/egg. These applications are useful for analysis and diagnostic procedures and methods.

The determination of the nucleus in the -linked molecule: direct sequencing or heterozygous as the capture of the linked molecule. The method provided by the method includes attaching the molecule to be detected to the element provided by the actual example. A step of an address array. In some embodiments, the 'address array' can include a plate 230 having a plurality of pinholes 235, and can be formed in or around the pinholes 235. See, for example, Figures 1 and 2. Therefore the bioanalysis system. Take 5 million nucleic acid fragments at 5 °. If each fragment is, for example, 1000 bases long, a single-piece can obtain billions of bits of sequence data, and it is possible to sequence and resequend the entire genome. 2.1 The molecule to be detected is suitable for detecting the nucleic acid by the method provided in the examples, which may include any such as DNA, RNA or PNA (peptide nucleic acid) and may contain Any sequence - known and unknown includes self-sequences. Nucleic acids can be obtained naturally, recombinantly, or chemically synthesized. Nucleic acids may include naturally occurring (tetra) acids, nucleoside analogs that are not present, or modified nucleotides. The length of the nucleic acid being detected can be varied based on the actual application. In some embodiments, the nucleic acid comprises at least 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000, 2000, 5000, 10000, 20000 ί S 1 17 1378237 sterility or more. In some embodiments, the nucleic acid can be from 10 to 20, from 10 to 50, from 10 to 100, from 50 to 100, from 50 to 500, from 50 to 1000, from 50 to 5000, from 500 to 2000, from 500 to 5000, or from 1000 to 5000 bases. The nucleic acid used for detection can be a single strand. The single-stranded nucleic acid template can be derived from a duplex nucleic acid template by methods known in the art, such as heat or alkali or other chemical treatment. A single-stranded nucleic acid template can also be produced by, for example, chemical-^, (10) synthesis. In some embodiments, it is to be phased (4) with its 5, or 3, terminal attachment-linking sites. In the case of _, _ may further include - or a plurality of terminal linking primers which are bonded to the 5' end, the 3' end or the 5' end and the 3' end (4) of the nucleic acid. In other embodiments, the '-end linkage scorpion is attached to the 3' end of the nucleic acid. The gentleman's terminal can be used to attach the nucleic acid to be detected to the element = = Γ for - or a complementary sequence of multiple detected primers, such as a sequence of primers. 2.1.1 End-linking 5|Sub-end: Junction 2: Short nucleic acid molecule, usually from less than one nuclear two-two i5, two 〇, t-applications, the length of the end-linking primer is to ^1' 30 ' 50, 75, 90 nucleotides or more. In the examples, the length of the terminal is & 20, from 10 to 30, or from 1 to 30, the end-linking primer is undivided and can be branched. In other embodiments, end-linking primers can be used to attach the nucleic acid to be tested to the junction on the array of bits 18 1378237. In some embodiments, an 'end-linking primer can link a nucleic acid directly to the surface of the array, such as by covalent attachment (eg, ester or thiol linkage) or non-covalent linkage, eg, antigen/antibody Biotin/avidin binding. See, for example, Figure 6, Figure 7, and Figure 8. In some embodiments, the 'terminally linked tibial can bind the nucleic acid non-directly to the surface of the array, e.g., by binding to an intermediate molecule, such as a polymerase. See, for example, Figure 8. Thus, the end-linking primer may comprise a modified φ nucleic acid or otherwise modified to assist in attachment to a linker, by methods known in the art, for example, disulfide, thioester, guanamine, phosphodiester or ester. Linking; or by, for example, antibody/antigen, or biotin/avidin binding, for example, a terminal linker comprises - a nucleotide comprising an antigenic region or a biotinylated nucleotide. In other embodiments, a modified nucleotide is located on the 3' end of the terminating primer. In some embodiments, one end of the primer link 5, the end comprising a modified core acid. The ® end-linking primer can also be used as a complement to detect one or more of the nucleic acids, for example, a sequencing sequence. In some embodiments, the primer is used by hybridization to detect nucleic acids, for example, the primer comprises a detectable marker, such as a fluorescent or radioisotope marker. In some embodiments, the 5' end of the 'end joining primer includes a sequence that is complementary to a certain sequence of primers. In some embodiments, the terminal junction scorpion line complementary to the sequencing primer is positioned such that the 3' end of the sequencing primer is contiguous with the first nucleotide in the nucleic acid to be sequenced. For example, Fig. 6 is a diagram showing the sequence to be sequenced attached to an optical detecting device [S 1 19 1378237 20]. A single-stranded nucleic acid 32, an end-linked and an annealing sequence primer 346 is attached to the linker 220 having a reactive functional group, and the linker 220 is coupled to a modified nucleoside at the terminal linker 34. Acid 344 binds. In some embodiments, the nucleic acid 32 can be attached via its 5' end to the linker position 220, and the end linker 34 can be attached to the 3' end of the nucleic acid 32 to serve as a complement to the sequence leader 346. In some cases, an end-linking primer is added to the end of the nucleic acid to be detected by a ligase, such as a DNA ligase. In some of the examples, before the ligati〇n, the end-linking primer and the nucleic acid to be detected are both single-stranded. In other embodiments, both are double stranded. In still other embodiments, one is a single share and the other is a double share. Connections are well known in the art. For example, in the polymerization community sequencing method (p〇l〇ny sequencing method) t, Shendure et al. (Science, 309: 1728-1732 (2005)) quickly connected to the New England Biolab (NEB) The Quick Ligation kit links a T30 end linker (32 bp) to the same DNA fragment. Among them, the ligation reaction solution included 0.26 pMole of DNA, 0.8 pMole of T30 end ligated primer, and 4.0 μM of T4 DNA ligase in lx Quick Ligation buffer. After mixing, the reaction solution was incubated at room temperature for about 10 minutes and then placed on ice. By heating the sample to 65. 〇, 1 〇 minutes to stop the ligation reaction. In other embodiments, an end-linking primer can be synthesized on the nucleic acid to be detected. For example, the 'end-linking primer' may be a homopolymer (h〇mopolymer) which is intrinsically entangled by, for example, a terminal transferase. Example [S] 20 1378237 As in 'Harne et al. (5We«ce, 320: 106·109 (2008)), a poly A tail is added to a DNA template as a viral gene. The complement of one of the polythymidine (poly T) sequencing primers in the single molecule sequence of the body. 2.1.2 Sequencing primers A pre-sequence primer is a quinone oligo-nucleotide complementary to a fragment of a nucleic acid to be detected or a ligated end-linking primer thereof. In some embodiments, the sequencing primers are at least 8, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 nucleotides or more in length. In a particular embodiment, the sequencing primers can be from 8 to 25, from 10 to 20, from 10 to 30, or from 10 to 50 nucleotides. The sequencing primer can be formed from any form of nucleotide acid, including naturally occurring nucleotides, nucleotide analogs that are not found in nature, or modified nucleotides. In an embodiment, after a certain sequence of primers is hybridized with a nucleic acid to be sequenced comprising one or more terminal linker molecules, the 5th end of the sequence can be modified to facilitate its alignment with the positional array. A joint is combined. In some embodiments, the sequence primer comprises a modified nucleotide, 'eg, locked nucleic acid (LNA) (modified ribonucleotide) that provides enhanced assays in a polynucleic acid Base stacking interaction). For example, the effect of the locked nucleic acid solution -t Levin et al. (Nucleic Acid Research 34 (20): 142 (2006)) shows that a primer containing a locked nucleic acid has improved specificity and a stronger binding relative to the corresponding Unlocked primer. Three variations of the mcp 1 primer (5'-cttaaattttcttgaat-3') were made to contain three locked nucleic acids (in the cap) at different positions in the primer: [S ] 21 1378237 MCP1 -LAN-3 '(5 '-cttaaattttCtTgaAt-3 ') ; MCP1 -L AN-5 ' (5,-CtTaAattttcttgaat-3,) ; and MCPl-LAN-even (5'-ctTaaatTttctTgaat-3'). All primers substituted with locked nucleic acids have an elevated melting temperature (Tm), while MCP1-LNA-5' primers show a particularly improved sequence accuracy (Phred Q30 counts). Thus, in other embodiments, the sequencing primer may comprise at least one locked nucleotide in its 5' end region, i.e., one-half, one-third or one-quarter of the 5' end of the 'sequencing primer. Prior to being provided to an optical detection element, the sequencing primer can be hybridized to a single sample nucleic acid (i.e., a nucleic acid to be detected comprising at least one end-linking primer). The sequencing primer can be hybridized to the sample nucleic acid by mixing the sample nucleic acid with a molar excess of the sequencing primer in a saline solution, such as 5xSSC (or 5xSSPE), 0.1% Tween20 ( Or 0.1% SDS) with 0.1% BSA buffer solution. The mixture can be heated to 65 ° C for at least 5 minutes and slowly cooled to room temperature to allow the primer/template to bond. Residual primers can be removed by suitable methods, such as molecular sieves. S{S 1 can be designed by suitable methods, including visual review of sequences or computer-assisted primer design, including end-linking and Both are introduced. Many software kits are available to assist with primer design, including DNAStarTM (DNAstar, Inc., Madison, WI), OLIGO 4.0 (National Biosciences, Inc.), Vectoe NTI® (Invitrogen), Primer Premier 5 (Premierbiosoft), and Prime3 ( Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, Cambridge, MA). Primer design, taking into account, for example, the molecularity to be sequenced, specificity, length, required melting temperature, 22 1378237 \ secondary structure, primer dimer, GC content, pH and ionic strength of the buffer solution and used Enzyme (ie, polymerase or ligase). See, for example, k〇 Joseph Sambrook and David Russell, Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 3rd edition (2001). 2.1.3 Binding to the surface of the array After binding the sequencing primer to the nucleic acid to be sequenced, including one or more end-linking primers, the complex is prepared in a suitable buffer solution and supplied to the substrate. - Position the surface of the array and allow it to bond. In some embodiments, the sample nucleic acid (the nucleic acid to be detected and one or more end-linking primers) is attached to the conjugation site, and then sequencing or detection primers are provided. In other embodiments, the composite is first hybridized prior to being provided to a component. Only one binding site of a nucleic acid sample is known to be a valid position. In an embodiment, the complex is provided to the optical detection element and the sample nucleic acid is attached to a random linkage at the position array. In other embodiments, the sample nucleic acid can be provided to a predetermined junction on the array of locations by a suitable 'method, such as by a machine or liquid handling system. Suitable methods for attaching nucleic acids to a solid support are well known in the art. In some embodiments, the sample nucleic acid can be attached directly to a linker by covalent attachment, such as disulfide, thioester, guanamine, phosphonium phosphate or ester linkage; or by non-covalent linkage, for example Antibody/antigen, or biotin/biotin protein binding. In some embodiments, the sample nucleic acid can be attached to a conjugation site by an intermediate molecule. In some embodiments, the intermediate molecule of W can be a polymerase, such as a DNA polymerase. [S 1 23 1378237] As an illustrative example of direct, covalent nucleic acid attachment, Adeesietal (Nucleic Acid Research, 28:87 (2000)) modifies the 5' end of an primer to include an SH g group. According to the method of Adeesi et al., a nucleic acid can be prepared in 50 μM phosphate buffered saline (PBS) (NaPi: 0.1 M NaH2P04 pH 6.5, 0.1 M NaCl). The primer solution can then be supplied to a salted glass slide and cultured in a humidity control box at room temperature of about 5 % to allow the primer to bind to the wafer surface. After the binding reaction is completed, shake the pBS solution twice at room temperature for 5 minutes each time to remove unbound DNA. After 'month/leather, add 1 mM β-thiol to one. The PBS solution was used to rinse the position array at room temperature to deactivate the thiol groups of the unbound DNA. Again, the array surface is cleaned, for example once with 5xSSC, 0.1% Tween and once with 5xSSC buffer solution. Thus, in some embodiments, the method used by Adeesi et al can be used in the methods provided herein to attach a sample nucleic acid complex, for example, via a sequence primer or a 5' end of a sample nucleic acid to a linker. . In an alternate embodiment, the sample nucleic acid can comprise, for example, a biotinylated nucleotide' and can bind to an avidin on the surface of the linker. In another embodiment, the sample nucleic acid can comprise an antigenic moiety, such as BrdU or digoxigenin, which is bound to the binding site by an antibody (or a fragment thereof). By "antibody," it will be appreciated that this phrase includes fragments of immunoglobulin molecules, including, for example, one or more CDR regions; or variable heavy or variable light fragments. Antibodies may occur naturally, Recombinant or synthetic. Antibodies may also include, for example, multiple strains (P〇lyCl〇ne) and monoclone variants. In some embodiments, the antibodies are at least 1〇6, 1〇7, 8 9 10, 10 Μ. Or higher binding constant (ass〇ciati〇n constant) binds to 24 1378237 • its antigen. The structure, function and production of antibodies are well known in the art. See, for example, Gary Howard and Matthew Kasser,

In yet another embodiment, the sample nucleic acid can be attached to the conjugation site by polymerization of a polymerase such as DN A. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that in order to preserve the function of the enzyme, information such as one, two and three levels of enzymes should be considered. For example, the structure of Taq and Phi29 polymerase is known in the art, see: Kim et al., 376:612-616 (1995) and Kamtekar et al., Μ〇/· Ce//, 16:609 -618 (2004). A method of immobilizing a polymerase to a surface while maintaining activity is known in the art and is described, for example, in U.S. Patent Publication No. 2,8/199932, filed on Aug. 21, 2008, and K 〇rlachetal WAS 1G5: 1176-1181 (2GG8). Figure 8 is a graphical representation of an embodiment in which sample nucleic acids (i.e., nucleic acid 32 to be sequenced, end-linking primer 34, and leader primer 346) are bound by a polymerase 38 to a linker 220 and polymerized. The enzyme 38 has been bound to the linker 22 by method 384, such as direct non-covalent adsorption, an antibody, biotin or chemical linkage, such as a guanamine linkage. In some examples, the aidehyde-modified surface of a linker is treated with an acetaldehyde-containing silane (Silane) reagent. Acetaldehyde quickly reacts with a primary amine on the protein to form a Sehiff,s base linkage. Since many proteins exhibit lytic acid on their surface in addition to the more reactive alpha-amines generally at the terminal end, they can be attached to the slide in various directions to allow the different sides of the protein to be in the solution.

In another embodiment, by photoactivation of a uv light, a photo NHS (photoNHS) (N-hydroxy succimido carboxylate is linked by a carbon chain) A linker, attached to azidonitrobenzene, is attached to an amine-modified surface on the element. In these examples, by eliminating nitrogen, the UV light excites the monoazide nitrobenzene moiety to produce a highly reactive nitrene. The nitrene immediately reacts with NH2 on the surface of the element to form a hydrazine bond. The other end of the linker is an NHS carboxylate which reacts with the amine acid on the surface of the polymerase to produce a guanamine covalent bond. In another embodiment, the NHS carboxylate moiety reacts with a primary amine on the surface of the component in a buffered environment. The UV light is used to activate the monoazide nitrobenzene moiety and form a highly reactive nitrone which is an electron deficient group and reacts immediately with the primary amine of the amino acid residue on the surface of the polymerase. These methods are described in more detail in Example 4 below.

2.2定序形式 實施例所提供之生物分析系統可用來偵測與定序核 酸,藉由本技術領域已知的方法,如回顧於,例如美國專 利號 6, 946,249 與 Shendure et al·,#扣·〜ν· Gend. 5:335-44(2004)。在一些實施例中,定序方法依靠不是DNA 聚合酶就是DNA連接酶的專一性,且包括,例如鹼基延伸 定序(base extension sequencing)(單一驗基逐步延伸(single base stepwise extension))、藉由合成之多驗基定序(包括, 例如以經末端標誌之核苷酸來定序)與擺動定序(wobble 26 1378237 sequencing),其為根據連結。所有方法通常需要—單股樣 本核酸,包括至少一要被附著至一連結位(不是直接就是 間接)之末端連結引子。之後定序開始實施於一定序引子 (連接麵疋序一般指錯定引子(anch〇r primer),其對定序引 子提供類似物用途)。 對於所有定序形式而言,實施例提供可再定序之單一 分子。例如,於定序讀取完成後,可將定序引子與經延伸 之核苷酸自樣本核酸刪除、清洗元件並重複定序。在各種 實施例中,藉由相同或不同方法可重新執行再定序。藉由 將相同分子再定序,預期定序錯誤會下降成定序讀取次數 之次方。例如,若單次讀取每個鹼基之錯誤為1〇·3,之後 在兩次讀取後’其下降成(1(Γ3)2, ,1().6。此為單一分子 定序之特別的優點,由於用以定序之經修飾的核芽酸可失 去其“ δ;!'或阻礙基團產生,例如假的刪除。 2.2.1鹼基延伸定序:逐步延伸 在一些實施例中,實施例所提供之光偵測裝置可用來 執行鹼基延伸定序,如,例如美國專利號5,3〇2,5〇9中所揭 露。在-些實施例中’藉由將包括一要被定序之單股核酸 32、與要被疋序之單股核酸32之3,端結合之末端連結引 子34與黏合至其之一定序引子346的一部份雙重複樣本核 酸附著至一連結位220來開始驗基延伸定序’如第6圖中 所不。在-些實施例中’聚合酶38與經修飾之核苦酸之後 破提供至光偵測元件於適合之緩衝溶液卜在—些實施例 中,藉由在連結位之聚合酶,將縣減複合物附著 至連 t S 1 27 1378237 結位。在一些實施例中,核苷酸包括一共價連結之可偵測 標誌,例如一螢光標誌,與一阻礙基團以避免任何二次延 伸。因此,在一單一核苷酸加入至定序引子346之3’端之 後,定序中斷。 第7圖為一鹼基延伸反應之一實施例的第一步驟的圖 解顯示。將具有螢光阻礙基團364之核苷酸362藉由DNA 聚合酶38加至定序引子346之3’端。在一些實施例中,螢 光標誌扮演阻礙基團。在其他實施例中,它們為分開之部 分。一單一核苷酸合併於定序引子346之3’端,且藉由其 之標誌以對應之光偵測器210來鑑定。之後移除螢光標誌 與阻礙基團,例如,藉由化學或酵素分解,以允許鹼基延 伸之額外循環。在實施例中,可同時或連續地與在任何順 序中移除標誌、與阻礙基團。藉由編輯驗基加入順序,於3’ 至5’方向,一次一個鹼基推論出樣本核酸之序列。第9圖 顯示平行地將一些樣本核酸延伸、偵測與去阻礙/去標誌的 一循環。 一般而言,在逐步延伸時有兩個方式來辨認所加入之 核苷酸。於一第一例子中,四種核苷酸具有相同之可偵測 標誌,但以一預定之順序一次加入一個。經延伸之核苷酸 的鑑定藉由於延伸反應中所加入之核苷酸的順序來確認。 在於延伸時辨認經整合之鹼基的第二模式中,四種不同之 核苷酸同時加入,且各與一有區別可偵測之標誌結合。在 不同實施例中,標誌之激發或散發光譜及/或強度可不同。 藉由可偵測標誌之強度及/或波長(即,激發或散發光譜) 來確認於延伸中加入之核苷酸強度。這兩個方法論之實施 28 1378237 例呈現於實施例5中。 2.2.2藉由合成之定序:多步踢延伸(multi-step extension)2.2 Sequencing Forms The bioanalytical system provided by the examples can be used to detect and sequence nucleic acids by methods known in the art, as reviewed, for example, in U.S. Patent No. 6,946,249 and Shendure et al., #扣· ~ν· Gend. 5:335-44 (2004). In some embodiments, the sequencing method relies on the specificity of not being a DNA polymerase or DNA ligase, and includes, for example, base extension sequencing (single base stepwise extension), By synthetic multi-sequence sequencing (including, for example, sequencing with terminally labeled nucleotides) and wobble 26 1378237 sequencing, which is a pertinent linkage. All methods typically require a single strand of sample nucleic acid comprising at least one end-linking primer to be attached to a linker (not directly or indirectly). The sequencing then begins with a certain sequence of primers (the junction sequence is generally referred to as an anch〇r primer, which provides for analog use for sequencing primers). For all sequencing forms, the examples provide a single molecule that can be reordered. For example, after the sequencing reads are completed, the sequencing primers and the extended nucleotides can be deleted from the sample nucleic acid, the components washed, and the sequence repeated. In various embodiments, reordering can be re-executed by the same or different methods. By reordering the same molecules, it is expected that the sequencing error will fall to the power of the number of sequential reads. For example, if the error of reading each base in a single time is 1〇·3, then after two readings, it drops to (1(Γ3)2, ,1().6. This is a single molecule sequencing. A particular advantage, since the modified geranic acid used for sequencing can lose its "δ;!" or hinder the generation of groups, such as false deletions. 2.2.1 Base Extension Sequence: Progressively in some implementations In an example, the photodetecting device provided by the embodiments can be used to perform base extension sequencing, as disclosed in, for example, U.S. Patent No. 5,3,2,5,9. In some embodiments, Included is a single-stranded nucleic acid 32 to be sequenced, a terminally linked primer 34 to be ligated to the single-stranded nucleic acid 32 to be sequenced, and a partial double-replicating nucleic acid attached to a certain sequence of primers 346 bonded thereto. Up to a link 220 to initiate the base extension sequence as shown in Figure 6. In some embodiments, 'polymerase 38 and modified nucleotide acid are then provided to the photodetecting element for appropriate buffering. Solution In some embodiments, the county subtractive complex is attached to the t S 1 27 1378237 junction by a polymerase at the conjugation site. In some embodiments, the nucleotide comprises a covalently linked detectable marker, such as a fluorescent marker, and a barrier group to avoid any secondary extension. Thus, a single nucleotide is added to the sequencing primer 346. After the 3' end, the sequencing is interrupted. Figure 7 is a graphical representation of the first step of an embodiment of a one-base extension reaction. The nucleotide 362 having the fluorescent blocking group 364 is passed by DNA polymerase 38. Add to the 3' end of the sequencing primer 346. In some embodiments, the fluorescent labels act as blocking groups. In other embodiments, they are separate portions. A single nucleotide is incorporated into the sequencing primer 346-3 'End, and identified by its corresponding photodetector 210. The fluorescent marker and the blocking group are then removed, for example, by chemical or enzymatic decomposition to allow for additional cycles of base extension. In embodiments, the marker and the blocking group can be removed simultaneously or sequentially and in any order. The sequence of the sample nucleic acid is deduced one column at a time in the 3' to 5' direction by editing the sequence of addition. Figure 9 shows some samples in parallel A cycle of nucleic acid extension, detection, and deblocking/de-marking. In general, there are two ways to recognize the added nucleotide during the stepwise extension. In a first example, the four nucleotides have the same identity. The detectable marker is added one at a time in a predetermined order. The identification of the extended nucleotide is confirmed by the order of the nucleotides added in the extension reaction. The integrated base is recognized upon extension. In the second mode, four different nucleotides are added simultaneously and each is combined with a distinguishable detectable marker. In various embodiments, the excitation or emission spectrum and/or intensity of the marker may be different. The intensity and/or wavelength of the marker (i.e., excitation or emission spectrum) is detected to confirm the strength of the nucleotide added to the extension. The implementation of these two methodologies is shown in Example 5. 2.2.2 Sequence by synthesis: multi-step extension

在一些實施例中,藉由合成之定序可藉由多重不中斷 延伸(multiple uninterrupted extension),例如沒有使用阻礙 基團來執行。在這些實施例中,藉由偵測在核三磷酸 (nucleoside triphosphates)水解後之焦構酸(pyrophosphate) 釋放,即,β與γ磷酸鹽複合物之釋放,來監測聚合反應。 可直接偵測複合物,例如藉由在複合物上之螢光部分,或 間接偵測複合物,藉由將焦磷酸與一化學或生物冷光偵測 系統結合。 在一些實施例中,藉由使用經末端-磷酸鹽標誌之核苷 酸(terminal-phosphate-labeled nucleotide)將核酸樣本定 序。經末端-磷酸鹽標誌之核苷酸與其使用方法之實施例序 述於,例如美國專利號7,361,466與美國專利公開號 2007/0141598,公開於2007年6月21日。簡單地說,將 核苷酸提供至實施例所提供之裝置’當於聚合中水解時, 藉由對應之光偵測器偵測經標誌之磷酸鹽。在一些實施例 中,所有之四種核苦酸包括有區別之標誌' 且可被同時加 入。在一些實施例令,核苷酸包括無法區別,即,相同之 標誌,且被以預定之順序連續地加入。連續、循環的加入 具有無法區別之標誌之核苷酸,依然允許多重、不中斷聚 合步驟,例如於均聚體序列中。In some embodiments, the sequencing by synthesis can be performed by multiple uninterrupted extensions, e.g., without the use of blocking groups. In these examples, the polymerization was monitored by detecting the release of pyrophosphate after hydrolysis of the nucleoside triphosphates, i.e., the release of the beta and gamma phosphate complexes. The complex can be detected directly, for example by combining the fluorescent moiety on the complex, or indirectly detecting the complex, by combining pyrophosphate with a chemical or biological luminescence detection system. In some embodiments, the nucleic acid sample is sequenced by using a terminal-phosphate-labeled nucleotide. Examples of end-phosphate-labeled nucleotides and methods of use thereof are described in, for example, U.S. Patent No. 7,361,466 and U.S. Patent Publication No. 2007/0141598, issued Jun. 21, 2007. Briefly, the nucleotides are provided to the device provided in the Examples. When hydrolyzed in the polymerization, the labeled phosphate is detected by a corresponding photodetector. In some embodiments, all four of the nucleotides include a distinctive signature' and can be added simultaneously. In some embodiments, the nucleotides include indistinguishable, i.e., the same, and are continuously added in a predetermined order. Continuous, cyclic addition of nucleotides with indistinguishable markers still allows multiple, uninterrupted polymerization steps, such as in homopolymer sequences.

In the method of Shendure et al., for example, an unknown single-strand DNA sample can be located on the side of the two end-linking primers and immobilized on a solid support. At a specific position in an unknown sequence (ie, an nth base close to a specific end-linking primer), a so-called anchoring primer (which is an analog of the ~-sequence primer) can be bonded to the end-linking primer, and The combination of the four degraded 9-mers is then provided to the mixture for review. The four nine-mers are white, and the difference is that the cursor is far away, and except for the question position (query p0siti〇n), it is degraded at all positions, and the 9-mer is a distinguishable base at the question position. Ask A, C, G or T. The sample is cleaned, scanned, and the base of the question is identified. Thereafter, the anchoring primer is removed from the sample nucleic acid, and the 9-mer, the cleaning element, and the steps are repeated to challenge a different position. Advantageously, the method is non-progressive, i.e., the test base need not be challenged in turn. Therefore, the error will not accumulate. In addition, this method can be used to question nucleotides from not 5, that is, 3, that is, without standard 5, ~3, Ε) ΝΑ synthesis.

In some embodiments, the cDNA can be sequenced by the methods described in U.S. Patent Nos. 6,812,005 and 7,361,488. Briefly, the cDNA is conjugated to an adapter nucleic acid' to treat the conjugate by a specific restriction enzyme' and the final treated nucleic acid is conjugated to a complementary oligonucleotide attached to the junction of the elements provided in the Examples. In an embodiment, the conjugate molecule is an end-linking primer. In some embodiments, the mRNA polyp tail can be used as a suitable end-linking primer that is complementary to a poly-thymidine (p〇ly τ tail) sequencing primer. 2.3.3 Detection and/or Measurement of Binding Interactions In other embodiments, a bioanalytical system can be used to detect various binding interactions, including, for example, DNA/DNA, RNA/RNA or DNA/RNA base pairing, nucleic acids. /protein interactions, antigen/antibody, receptor/ligand binding combined with enzyme/substrate. In general, the same molecule is attached to a linker comprising 32 1378237 - an identifying nucleic acid tag (ID). In some embodiments, the linker molecule further comprises a capture molecule that binds to the sample molecule. Linking molecules also include means for binding to the linking sites, such as a moiety that promotes covalent chemical bonding, for example, a disulfide, thioester, guanamine, phosphodiester or ester linkage; or by non-covalent linkage, For example antibody/antigen or biotin/avidin binding. In some embodiments, the linker molecules are attached to the array by an ID tag. The same molecule is provided to a component, and the linker molecule thereof attaches Φ to a random link, for example by binding to a capture molecule located on the linker molecule. In some embodiments, the sample molecules are mixed with the linking molecules, allowed to bind, and then provided to one of the elements provided by the embodiments. In some embodiments, the linker molecule is first provided to the element, allowing it to attach to a linker, and then providing the sample molecule. Again, the ID is detected by identifying the combined sample molecules (e. g., by hybridization or sequencing). A plurality of sample molecular species can be attached to the same array and distinguished by their logo, and the unique interaction ID of the capture molecule combined with them can be characterized by the binding interaction of B. Thus, in some embodiments, the method of detecting a labeled sample molecule comprises linking the nucleic acid of the same molecule to a link of the element by a linker comprising a nucleic acid tag (ID) The step of sequencing and detecting the labeled sample molecules. In an embodiment, nucleic acid sequencing is base extension sequencing. In some embodiments, the nucleic acid sequence is selected from ligase sequencing or nucleotide sequencing via a terminal-phosphate label. By using nucleotide "bits", up to 4n distinct capture molecules can be attached to and identified on the bioanalytical system, where n is a natural number showing the length of the ID being sequenced. For example, 5 nucleotides can provide [33 1378237 more than a thousand unique IDs, while 12 nucleotides provide more than 16 million combinations. For example, a linker molecule is attached to a component and its position is confirmed by detecting its corresponding ID tag. The molecule is then linked as a probe to, for example, investigate the binding interaction with one or more labeled sample molecules. That is, an element having one or more linking molecules attached thereto can serve as a probe array. In an embodiment, the labeled sample molecule is a fluorescent marker. When combined with the capture molecule of the linker molecule, the labeled sample molecule is detected by a photodetector corresponding to the linker to which the linker is attached. Thus, in some embodiments, the method can further include the steps of providing a labeled sample molecule to a component and detecting the labeled sample molecule. In an embodiment, the element has a linker molecule attached to the linker and the linker molecule comprises a nucleic acid tag (ID) attached to the linker. Multiple-marker sample molecules can be provided simultaneously to a probe array and can be distinguished by their signature, such as by the intensity and/or wavelength of their fluorescent signature. At a concentration given by the marker molecule, based on kinetics (eg, docking/undocking) and statistics (eg, at any given time, portions of the sample molecule are bound or The state of binding) both can interfere with the separation constant between the binding interaction between the sample molecule and the labeled interrogating molecule. In some embodiments, the ID of a linker molecule is at least 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 75, 90, 100, 150, 200 or more nucleotides in length. In some embodiments, the ID is from 5 to 10, 20, 40, 80 or 160; or from 10 to 20 or 50; or from 20 to 35 nucleotides in length. The ID contains a unique nucleic acid sequence, ie, a nucleic acid to be detected. In embodiments, the unique nucleic acid sequence can be at least 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 34 1378237 12, 14, 16, 20, 24, 30 or more nucleotides in length. In some embodiments, the unique nucleic acid sequence is from 4 to 1 , 12, 15 or 20, or from 10 to 2 nucleotides in length. The ID includes at least one end-linking primer, ie, the ID comprises a sequence that is complementary to a sequence of primers, which in some embodiments is modified to attach to a linker', for example by including a biotinylated Nucleotide. In some embodiments, the end joining primer portion of the ID is from the 3' end to a unique nucleic acid sequence. In some embodiments, it is 5, end to a unique nucleic acid sequence. In yet another embodiment, the 'end link primer appears

FRET can help reduce the background signal by, for example, providing a large spectral separation between the effective excitation and emission wavelengths of the molecule to be detected. The eFRET sag is used to detect the proximity of the molecular interaction due to its efficacy decay. The sixth energy between the distance between the provider and the recipient. For example, Zhang 36 1378237: et a1· (#如', 施, 4:826-31 (2005)) detects nuclear heterozygous by FRET. Wherein, a biotinylated nucleic acid target is combined with a quantum dot provider covering the avidin, which is followed by a Cy5-bound DNA probe. In some embodiments of the invention, a labeled capture molecule and a labeled sample molecule can form a pair of providers/recipients (or vice versa) for detection by FRET. In some embodiments of the nucleic acid sequencing provided by the embodiments, for a chromophore attached to a polymerase or ligase provider, • Lloyd's logo nucleotide-receptor with chromophore . Thus, in these embodiments, a provider located on a polymerase or ligase chromophore excites a recipient with a chromophore, and the nucleic acid is polymerized or attached to the sample nucleic acid. Due to the rapid decline in FRET efficacy, the nucleotide acid that is not close to the polymerase is not excited. In some embodiments, the donor molecule is, for example, an additional-fluorescent group, such as a quantum dot. Quantum dots, for example, semiconductor quantum dots are known in the art and are described, for example, in International Publication No. WO _ 〇 3/〇03015. Methods for binding quantum dots to, for example, biomolecules are known to the art as reviewed, for example, Mednitz et al (Gaga Her (10) Oil, 4·235 46 (2005)) and U.S. Patent Publication No. 4 (6) 6盥2〇 _087843 was published on March 20, 2006 and April, April 17, respectively. In some embodiments, the quantum dots are combined with a -carrier polymerase molecule, which is further described in the following. As discussed earlier, in order to be, Su and even! Alpha-Bound Combinations A person skilled in the art will undoubtedly understand that when fluorophores are bound to, for example, a DNa polymerase or ligase, care must be taken to reduce the binding of the fluorophore to the enzyme-level, Any effect on the tertiary structure of the plate to maintain the enzyme function. [S3 37 1378237 2.3.4.2 Multiphoton Excitation In some embodiments, a band of chromons is excited by two or more photons. For example, in some embodiments, in FRET, it is not the provider that the recipient's chromophore excitation system passes two or more photons. Two photons and multiphoton excitation are further described, for example, in U.S. Patent Nos. 6,344,653 and 5,034,613. 2·3·4·3 Time Resolved Detection In some embodiments, the light source and photodetector provided by the present invention can be adjusted to have a characteristic phase shift. The use of methods known in the art, for example, as disclosed in U.S. Patent Publication No. 2008/0037008, issued Feb. 14, 2008, discloses the disclosure of the light of the detected molecules on the elements provided in the examples, It can be measured by a corresponding optical detector without interference from the excitation source. 3.

In some embodiments, the method = provided by the service requester - includes - eight batches of donors of the biomolecule to be analyzed 'and the service requester accepts from the service provider" wherein the invention is provided by using the invention Component production 22: Co-consider to implement the method, service requester and (4) provide k, is ] 38 1378237 • Shipping. In some embodiments, the service provider or vendor may be geographically located outside of the United States, such as in another country. Unless otherwise stated, all numerical expressions used in the specification, including the ingredients, reaction conditions, etc. in the scope of the patent application, are to be understood. In all cases, by the wording "about," are modified. The method states that the wording 'at least' of a series of elements can be understood to mean each element of the series. [Embodiment] Example 1: Construction of a high-throughput bioanalytical system by reference to the first -4 Figure 'The method of manufacturing a bioanalysis system 1 will be described in detail below. First, a substrate 10 is formed and formed by a commercially available 0.25 μm semiconductor fabrication process for general logic and optical components. a plurality of photodetectors 21 on the upper surface of the substrate 1. The photodetector 210 is a photodiode photon detector each having an exposed area of 24 μm and a thickness of 452 μm. The photodetectors are arranged adjacent to each other such that an array of 512 rows and 512 columns of the photodetector 210 is formed on the substrate 10. "The plurality of control circuits 215 are formed on the upper surface of the substrate 10 without forming light. Detecting the position of state 210. In this embodiment, a control circuit 215 corresponds to an optical debt detector 210' to control the operation and control of the corresponding photodetector 210 between the optical detection device 210 and the recording device. 1378237 In this embodiment, a filter layer 240 is formed on the upper surface of the photodetector 210 and the control circuit 215. Before the filter layer 240 is formed, a global planarization process is performed on the upper surface of the photodetector 210 and the control circuit 215. Filter layer 240 includes a plurality of sublayers. In this embodiment, the germanium layer 240 can include a plurality of sublayers formed on a base substrate material that can be formed, placing, or deposited with a substrate material, such as SiO 2 on the substrate. 1〇 is available. In one embodiment, a semiconductor fabrication or deposition process can be implemented. For example, deposition methods may include, but are not limited to, physical deposition, chemical deposition, molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), and at mic layer deposition (ALD). In some embodiments, the substrate material can include one or more depressions formed on a surface. In some cases, the depressions may be non-planar, such as hemispherical or arcuate with a defined radius. For example, referring to Figure 3a, the radius of the sub-layer closest to the filter layer 240 of the substrate 10 in one embodiment may be about 6.1 μηη and may vary from 1 μπι to 100 μηη. The size of the recess in a system can vary depending on the design and application of the system and the size of the corresponding pinhole. In one embodiment, the radius of the system can be varied, for example, based on the application, design, characteristics, photodetector, and/or source of the system and the characteristics of the biomolecule to be detected. In some embodiments, the recess can be formed as part of the substrate formation process or by removing portions of the substrate material using conventional semiconductor process removal techniques. For example, the removal method may include wet etching, dry etching, or a method thereof. In other embodiments, a depression may be formed using pressure or pressure when the substrate material is formed. IS 3 Once the substrate material of filter layer 240 is formed as described above, a series of sublayers 40 1378237 ' can be formed on top of the substrate material to produce a filter layer ^ 240 as shown in Figure 3a. In some examples, a sub-layer can be formed by depositing a replacement layer of a material having different dielectric properties. For example, the filter layer 240 can be formed by first depositing a sub-layer having a higher refractive index on the surface of the planarized photodetector 21 and the control circuit 215 on the substrate material. Thereafter, a sublayer having a lower refractive index is deposited on the formed sublayer having a higher refractive index. In some embodiments, the sub-layer having a higher refractive index may comprise Nb 205, and the sub-layer having a lower refractive index may have Si 〇 2 . The tantalum layer 240 is formed by successively depositing a lower layer of higher refractive index and lower refractive index until a large number of sublayers have been deposited on the substrate material. In this embodiment, filter layer 240 includes 69 sublayers. The number of sublayers, their refractive indices, their materials, and/or other parameters can be varied based on various considerations, such as system applications, designs, features, photodetectors, and/or light sources. Referring to Figure 5, a table summarizing the construction of one of the filters, layer 240, is shown. In Fig. 5, a lower numbered sublayer provides a sublayer closer to the bottom surface of the filter layer 240, and a higher numbered sublayer provides a sublayer closer to the upper surface of the filter layer 240. As shown in Fig. 5, in this embodiment, the odd-numbered layers of the filter layer 240 are made of, for example, bismuth pentoxide (Nb205), which has a higher refractive index. The even sub-layer is made of, for example, SiO 2 (Si 〇 2), which has a lower refractive index. The sublayer can be formed by using a sputtering system, and examples of the sputtering system include Model No. RAS 110 of Radical Assisted Sputtering Series, by Shincron Co" 1^(1.(8110^8&\¥&-1 〇1, 丁〇1^〇, 八八)^). The thickness of each layer in this embodiment is also provided in the table of Figure 5. Synthetic filter layer 240 for the fluorescent group Cy5 It is highly transparent, while the light emitted from the [S] 41 1378237 (Helium-Neon) laser has a low penetration at a wavelength of about 633 nm, and the laser is used as an external light source to excite the fluorophore Cy5. Referring again to Figures 2 and 4, a masking sheet 230 having pinholes 235 is formed in the filter layer 240. In one embodiment, the pinholes 235 can be about 0.2 μm in size and can vary from 〇1 to 1 pm. The size of the system based design and application and the corresponding layer can vary depending on the pinhole size in the system. In one embodiment, based on many considerations, such as system applications, designs, features, photodetectors, and/or The light source and the characteristics of the biomolecule to be detected can change the radius. A masking sheet having a pinhole 235 is fabricated. A process of 230 on the filter layer 240 or the substrate 10 will be described in detail below. First, a photoresist layer is formed on the filter layer 240 by, for example, spin coating a photoresist layer (if filtering) The layer 24 is formed on the upper surface of the photodetector 210 and the control circuit 215 as needed or on the surface of the planarized photodetector 210 and the control circuit 215 (if the filter layer 240 is not formed). Thereafter, the photoresist is developed to form a photoresist pattern in the pinhole region. The pinhole region is covered by using a photomask, and the photoresist is exposed such that only the region covered by the photomask is maintained in the filter layer 240 or planarized. A photoresist pattern is formed on the upper surface of the photodetector 21 and the control circuit 215. The 'metal layer is then deposited on the filter layer 24 that has formed the photoresist pattern. In this embodiment, the metal layer may include chromium (Cr). By performing a magnetron sputtering process, it is deposited on the upper surface of the filter layer 24 or the planarized photodetector 210 and the control circuit 215. Then 'removed in the pinhole The portion of the metal layer on the region and the light 11 in the pinhole region and the pattern 'by forming a masking sheet 230 having a pinhole 235. Or 'by first depositing a metal layer (e.g., 'Cr) on the filter layer 240 ij 1 42 1378237 •, then forming a mask on the metal layer, thereby forming the metal layer A portion of the upper surface is exposed to form a masking sheet 230. The % portion of the exposed metal layer is then etched until the filter layer 240 is exposed, thereby forming pinholes on the metal layer. Thereafter, the mask is removed from the metal layer and a masking sheet 230 having pinholes 235 is formed on the filter layer 240. In some embodiments, the hemisphere formed by the space between the masking sheet 230 and the sub-layer closest to the masking sheet 230 is filled with SiO2, and the hemisphere is polished to a flat surface before the masking sheet 230 is formed. The metal layer has a pinhole 235 formed in the center of the half Φ ball of the filter layer 240. Referring again to Figures 2 and 4, in this embodiment, the joint location 220 is formed by filling a support material in the pinhole 235 or recess 450. The support material may be a polymer or inorganic material that is transparent to the fluorescent light emitted from the fluorescent group 36. Referring again to Figure 1, only 12 optical detection devices 20 are shown. It can be understood that at least 10,000 optical detecting devices 20 can be formed on the substrate 10. For example, in this embodiment, each of the optical detecting devices 20 has a circular shape having a radius of about 5 μm or less, which can occupy an area of about 100 μm 2 . For a substrate 10 having an area of 1 square inch (i.e., 2.54 cm by 2.54 cm), it is possible to construct more than six million optical detecting devices 20 on the substrate 10. By simultaneously operating those six million optical detection devices 20, biomolecules can be detected with high throughput.

Example 3: Bonding Quantum Dots to a Polymerase The following are two methods for binding a functionalized quantum dot to a primary amine on a polymerase molecule, the first using an amine-activated dot, the second A carboxyl-activated dot is used. 3.1 Amine EVITAGtm binding to DNA polymerase via amine EVITAGTM (eg Evident Technologies, cat# E2-C11-AM2-0620; EVITAGTM kit QD products are also available [5 1378237 • eBioscience, Inc., San Diego, CA • sold under the eFluorTM mark) • Functionalized quantum dots (QD) by BS3 (Bis (sulfosuccinimidyl suberate)), homogenous bifunctional (homobifunctional) water Activated by a dissolved crosslinker comprising an amine reactive N-hydroxysuccinimide carboxylate (NHS) ester at each end of an 8 carbon spacer arm. At pH 7-9, the NHS ester reacts with the primary amine on the surface of the QD to form a stable guanamine bond and releases the NHS leaving group. Taq DNA polymerase or Phi29 DNA polymerase has a number of primary amines (eg, an amino acid (K) residue and the N-terminus of each multi-peptide), which is the target for the cross-linking of available NHS esters. 3.1.1 Surface activation of quantum dots with 25 μΐ 10 mM BS3 (Bis(sulfosuccinimidyl) suberate), ?161^,? &11#2158〇) with 25 011〇><?68 (phosphate buffer salt, ?117.4) 2.0 nmol of EVITAGTM was activated in a final volume of 250 μM with dH20.

The conjugate was washed twice with dH20 by a 30K Microspin filter. Further, the conjugate was purified by size exclusion using Suprdex 30/75 Resin (GE Healthcare, part # 17-0902-10 or 17-1044-10 for small proteins and peptides). The column was pre-equilibrated with dH20 before loading the concentrated binding mixture onto the column and allowing it to enter the column bed. These samples were eluted with dH20 under black light excitation and the fluorescent fragments were collected. The glory fragments were added together and concentrated by centrifugation at 6000 rpm for 5-10 minutes to a total volume of ~1 〇〇 μΐ with a 100K Microspin filter.

The amine-reactive sulfur-NHS ester is reacted with, for example, a primary amine in the side chain of the lysine (K) on Taq DNA polymerase or Phi29 DNA polymerase. 3.2.1 Surface activation of quantum dots 1 tsi Equivalent 2.0 nmol of EVITAGtm was diluted in 25 mM MES pH 5.0 buffer solution. EDC (1-ethyl-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide 46 1378237 hydrochloride) was dissolved in cold before use immediately. A 50 mg/ml solution of sulfur-NHS (Pierce, part #24525) in 25 mM MES pH 5.0 was prepared similarly in MES pH 5.0 at a concentration of 5 〇 mg/m. Thereafter, 50 μL of EDC solution and 50 μL of sulfur-NHS solution were added to the EVITAGTM solution. The mixture was mixed well and spun at room temperature for 30 minutes at a slow tilt. The solution was desalted using a ρι〇 column (Amersham Bi〇sciences, product number 17-0851-01) and eluted with a 4.8 μM sodium carbonate buffer (pH 9.2). The colored portion containing the activated qd is collected. 3.2.2 DNA polymerase binding DNA polymerase 100 of 0.1 Μ sodium carbonate buffer solution (pH 9.2) was added to the mixture. After mixing well, the samples were incubated at 4 ° C and tilted for 2 hours. 3.2.3 Purification of polymerase bound to QD by centrifugation at 6000 rpm for 5-10 minutes with a 30K Microspin filter (Pall Corporation, part # OD100C33), the conjugate is concentrated to a total volume of ~200 μb by 30K Microspin filter The conjugate was washed twice with dH20. Again, the conjugate was purified by size exclusion with Suprdex 30/75 Resin. Briefly, the column is pre-equilibrated with dH20. The concentrated binding mixture is then loaded onto the column and allowed to enter the column bed. The column was eluted with dH20 under black light excitation, and the fluorescent fragments were collected. The fluorophores were added together and concentrated to a total volume of ~1 〇〇 μ1 by centrifugation at 6000 rpm for 5-10 minutes with a 100K Microspin filter. The purified and concentrated [S ] 47 1378237 conjugate can be stored at 4 °C. Example 4: Linking a polymerase to a component using a light-NHS (photoNHS) (N-hydroxy succimido carboxylate is bonded to a stack of nitrogen wall groups by a carbon chain) Azidonitrobenzene is described in two ways to attach an enzyme, such as a polymerase, to a component. 4.1 UV Surface Activation By activation with UV light, a photoNHS is used to attach a polymerase to an amine-modified surface on a device. The UV light excites the monoazide nitrobenzene moiety by excluding nitrogen to produce a highly reactive nitrene group. The nitrone reacts with NH2 on the surface of the element to form a hydrazine bond. The other end of the linker is an NHS carboxylate which reacts with an amino acid residue on the polymerase to produce a guanamine covalent bond. 4.1.1 Surface preparation A solution of 1 mM light NHS (Sigma, Art No. A3407 ' molecule 390.35) was prepared in 95% ethanol.

Adenine is added to the 3' end of the sequencing primer only when the thymus squeezing (τ) is the nucleotide adjacent to the 5' end of the terminal linker in the 50 1378237 nucleic acid. If the nucleotide of the nucleic acid is closest to the 3' end of the primer, it is guanine (G), cytosine (C) or adenine (A), and no extension will occur thereafter. 5.1.2 Extension reaction cleaning step: After the extension reaction is completed, the array wafer is cleaned using 5xSSC and 0.1% SDS at a time, and 5xSSC is used at a time to remove adenine and unreacted solution. 5.1.3 Fluorescence Detection and Recording: Fluorescence signals are read at the junction to confirm whether adenine has been extended, indicating a corresponding thymine in the sequenced nucleic acid. 5.1.4 Removal of Protection and Fluorescent Groups: After detection, the protective and fluorescent groups are removed by chemical or enzymatic cleavage. 5.1.5 Cleaning Step: Clean the array wafer using 5xSSC and 0.1% SDS at a time, and use 5xSSC at a time to remove the cleavage protection and labeling groups. 5.1.6 Proofreading and Recording: Confirm that the protective and fluorescent groups were successfully removed from the previous extension step. If there is residual protection and fluorophore detection, for example, the analysis software on the detection and recording system 2 will record the location. The recording of the sequencing reaction can only continue if the protection and fluorophore removal are confirmed in the next cleaning step. 51 1378237 5.1.7 Repeat 5.1.1-5.1.6, this time use guanine for extension reaction. 5.1.8 Repeat 5.1.1-5.1.6, this time using cytosine for extension reactions. 5.1.9 Repeat 5.1.1-5.1.6, this time using thymine for the extension reaction. 5.1.10 Use four extension reactions of A, G, C, and T as one cycle. The sequence of a nucleic acid is confirmed in a stepwise manner by repeating the cycle. 5.2 Simultaneous addition of 4 different nucleotides with distinctive markers 5.2.1 Base extension reaction: Add 4 kinds of blocked and differentiated DNA nucleotides (A, G, C, T) and nucleic acid polymerase Up to a sequencing buffer solution on the array. The extension reaction can occur only at the 3' end of the sequencing primer. A nucleotide complementary to the nucleotide of the sequenced nucleic acid closest to the 5' end of the linker can be added to the 3' end of the sequencing primer, see, for example, Figure 6. 5.2.2 Extension reaction cleaning step: After completion of the extension reaction, the wafer was washed with 5xSSC and 0.1% SDS once, and once with 5xSSC to remove residual material in the reaction solution. [S ] 5.2.3 Fluorescence Detection and Recording: Detect each distinct firefly at each link 52 1378237 Optical signal to confirm the added nucleotide. 5.2.4 Removal of Protected and Fluorescent Groups: After detection, the protective and fluorescent groups are removed by chemical or enzymatic cleavage. 5.2.5 Cleaning Step: Clean the wafer using 5xSSC and 0.1% SDS at a time, and use VSSC at a time to remove the cleavage of the protective and fluorescent groups. 5·2·ό Proofreading and Recording: Confirmation that the protection and fluorescent groups were successfully removed from the previous extension step. If there is residual protection and fluorophore detection, for example, the analysis software on the detection and recording system 2 will record the location. The recording of the sequencing reaction can only continue if the protection and fluorophore removal are confirmed in the next cleaning step. 5.2·7 repeats 5.2.1-5.2.6. The reaction cycle is repeated to confirm the sequence of the nucleic acid. Example 6: Sequencing of a nucleic acid. A chemically synthesized 60-member oligonucleotide having a known sequence: biotin-55-tcag tcag tcag tcag tcag tcag tcag tcag tcag tcag tcag tc ACACGGAGGTTCTA-3', as a certain Sequence template. This sequencing template was combined with a 14-member oligonucleotide sequencing primer (5'-TAGAACCTCCGTGT-3,). The 5' end of the template is modified to include a biotin molecule. The template is attached to a reactor surface containing streptavidin. The sequencing reaction allowed [s] 53 1378237 to use /DNA polymerase to perform a one-base extension reaction in a 1 χ sequencing buffer solution with 15 mM * DTT. Each extension reaction step only adds a nucleotide of the formula, which has a secondary extension protection (obstruction) group and a fluorescent marker (e.g., 'Cy5). If the nucleotide of the DNA template adjacent to the 3rd end of the sequencing primer is complementary to the added nucleotide, then the fluorescent marker base is added. The fluorescent signal is detected after the unreacted test substrate material is washed away. If the test base is not complementary, then a fluorescent signal will be detected. After detection, the fluorophore is chemically removed and the array is further cleaned using a saline solution (e.g., 5xSSC; 0.1% SDS) and detected again to confirm the removal of the fluorescent marker. After the removal and cleaning steps, it is considered that the fluorescent marker has been removed for the location where the fluorescent signal is not detected. The camping signal obtained in the next reaction cycle is then considered as the next extended sequence signal. After removal and cleaning, the software used is recorded as having an incomplete removal reaction for the position where the fluorescent signal is still maintained. From the location message: Sustainable to be recorded, as long as the removal step in the next cycle is confirmed. Based on this method, four types of reaction alkali-based materials can be continuously added, and the reaction is carried out cyclically. Therefore, the sequence of the template is confirmed. The present invention has been disclosed in the above preferred embodiments, and it is not intended to limit the invention to any skilled person, and may make some modifications and refinements without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, the scope of the invention is defined by the scope of the appended claims.
