摘要 |
The present invention is generally directed to microfluidic systems and methods of using such systems in the determination of the nucleotide sequence of target nucleic acid sequences (referred to herein as the "target"). In particular, the present invention provides methods and systems for determining the relative positions within a target nucleic acid sequence that are occupied by a given nucleotide, e.g., A, T, G or C, by separating mixtures of nested sets of fragments of the target nucleic acid, which sets each include fragments that terminate in a different given nucleotide.
