摘要 |
The invention relates to an apparatus for the automatic sequencing of a polynucleotide such as a gene. It comprises, in combination, a substrate possessing a surface whose peak-to-valley height is of the order of an atomic diameter, means (1) of point analysis of the aforementioned surface having a resolution better than one atomic diameter, means (12, 13) for reconstituting the shapes from the analytical data, means (14) for recognising the aforementioned shapes, and means (15) for storing the information thereby obtained. <IMAGE> |
