METHODS, COMPOSITIONS, SYSTEMS AND APPARATUS FOR MOLECULAR ARRAY FABRICATION

摘要

Provided herein are compositions, methods, systems and apparatuses for use in preparing arrays of molecules or other compounds. The systems include beads which are linked to the molecules or other compounds to be arrayed. The arrays are prepared by depositing the bead-molecule complexes onto a surface. The bead-molecule complexes can be used to prepare an array of single molecules, where each single molecule is attached to a surface at a single location on the surface. In one exemplary embodiment, the molecules to be deposited can include nucleic acid.
