SEQUENCE DETERMINATION BY USE OF OPPOSING FORCES

摘要

The present teachings relate to systems, methods, and the like, for analyzing biological polymers, by use of opposing forces. Among other things, the present teachings can be used to determine sequence information, such as in genetic sequencing and genotyping applications. Various embodiments are described for efficient, high throughput sequencing of nucleic-acid molecules, such as DNA. Various embodiments are described wherein nucleic-acid sequence information is determined without the need or use of extrinsic labels. As well various embodiments of methods, systems, and the like, are described, which can provide long and accurate read lengths for low-cost nucleic acid sequencing.
