چکیده
We have developed the first fully integrated microfluidic system for DNA sequencing-by-synthesis. Using this chip and fluorescence detection, we have reliably sequenced up to 4 consecutive bps. The described sequencer can be integrated with other microfluidic components on the same chip to produce true lab-on-a-chip technology. The surface chemistry that was designed to anchor the DNA to elastomeric microchannels is useful in a broad range of studies and applications.

Parallel gene synthesis in a microfluidic device
The ability to synthesize custom de novo DNA constructs rapidly, accurately and inexpensively is highly desired by researchers, as synthetic genes and longer DNA constructs are enabling to numerous powerful applications in both traditional molecular biology and the emerging field of synthetic biology. However, the current cost of de novo synthesis-driven largely by reagent and handling costs-is...
متن کاملCombined microfluidic-optical DNA analysis with single-base-pair sizing capability.
DNA sequencing by microchip capillary electrophoresis (CE) enables cheap, high-speed analysis of low reagent volumes. One of its potential applications is the identification of genomic deletions or insertions associated with genetic illnesses. Detecting single base-pair insertions or deletions from DNA fragments in the diagnostically relevant size range of 150-1000 base-pairs requires a varianc...
متن کاملDNA separation and fluorescent detection in an optofluidic chip with sub-base-pair resolution
DNA sequencing in a lab-on-a-chip aims at providing cheap, high-speed analysis of low reagent volumes to, e.g., identify genomic deletions or insertions associated with genetic illnesses. Detecting single base-pair insertions/deletions from DNA fragments in the diagnostically relevant range of 1501000 base-pairs requires a sizing accuracy of S < 10. Here we demonstrate S = 410. A microfluidic...
متن کاملPart I: Sequence Alignment
Current DNA sequencing methods can accurately determine only a few hundred ‘letters’ (bases) off each end of a contiguous stretch of DNA. It is therefore impossible to read a complete genome all at once. The human genome, for example, consists of about 3 billion base pairs — in contrast to about 500 that can be read at a time. The Whole Genome Shotgun Sequencing Method addresses this problem by...
متن کاملAccurate whole human genome sequencing using reversible terminator chemistry
DNA sequence information underpins genetic research, enabling discoveries of important biological or medical benefit. Sequencing projects have traditionally used long (400–800 base pair) reads, but the existence of reference sequences for the human and many other genomes makes it possible to develop new, fast approaches to re-sequencing, whereby shorter reads are compared to a reference to iden...
