Claim Text:
1. A method for analyzing nucleic acid sequences comprising: (a) delivering a plurality of molecules of a fragment of deoxyribonucleic acid into aqueous microreactors in a water-in-oil emulsion such that a plurality of aqueous microreactors comprise a single molecule of the fragment of deoxyribonucleic acid, a single bead capable of hybridizing to but not hybridized to the fragment of deoxyribonucleic acid, and reagents necessary to perform deoxyribonucleic acid amplification; (b) amplifying the fragment of deoxyribonucleic acid in the microreactors to form amplified copies of the fragment of deoxyribonucleic acid bound to beads in the microreactors; and (c) determining presence of amplified copies of a strand of the fragment of deoxyribonucleic acid bound to a bead.
