Title: Reagents, methods, and libraries for gel-free bead-based sequencing
Inventor: MCKERNAN KEVIN
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2007-04-19
Abstract: The present invention provides methods for determining a nucleic acid sequence by performing successive cycles of duplex extension along a single stranded template. The cycles comprise steps of extension, ligation, and, preferably, cleavage. In certain embodiments the methods make use of extension probes containing phosphorothiolate linkages and employ agents appropriate to cleave such linkages. In certain embodiments the methods make use of extension probes containing an abasic residue or a damaged base and employ agents appropriate to cleave linkages between a nucleoside and an abasic residue and/or agents appropriate to remove a damaged base from a nucleic acid. The invention provides methods of determining information about a sequence using at least two distinguishably labeled probe families. In certain embodiments the methods acquire less than 2 bits of information from each of a plurality of nucleotides in the template in each cycle. In certain embodiments the sequencing reactions are performed on templates attached to microparticles, which are immobilized in or on a semi-solid support or attached to a substrate. The invention further provides sets of labeled extension probes containing phosphorothiolate linkages or trigger residues that are suitable for use in the method. In addition, the invention includes performing multiple sequencing reactions on a single template by removing initializing oligonucleotides and extended strands and performing subsequent reactions using different initializing oligonucleotides. The invention further provides efficient methods for preparing templates, particularly for performing sequencing multiple different templates in parallel. The invention also provides methods for performing ligation and cleavage. The invention also provides new libraries of nucleic acid fragments containing paired tags, and methods of preparing microparticles having multiple different templates (e.g., containing paired tags) attached thereto and of sequencing the templates individually. The invention also provides automated sequencing systems, flow cells, image processing methods, and computer-readable media that store computer-executable instructions (e.g., to perform the image-processing methods) and/or sequence information. In certain embodiments the sequence information is stored in a database. The invention further provides blocking oligonucleotides and methods of use thereof to facilitate sequencing. Further provided are arrays comprising microparticles having templates attached thereto and attached to a substrate in the absence of a semi-solid medium and methods of sequencing the templates. The invention also provides arrays of nucleic acid colonies produced using microparticles to "imprint" templates on a semi-solid medium or substrate, and methods of sequencing thereof.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for initial acquisition gain control in a communication system a method for use in a wireless communication system are 'disclosed. A disclosed methodology includes measuring the power of a signal received by a transceiver a number of times over a prescribed time period, the signal including a number of symbols. A gain of the transceiver can only be decreased when a currently measured power is greater than a previously measured power during the prescribed time period until a maximal power level is measured. By iteratively decreasing the gain to accommodate a maximal power value, which is the same as the power level of an acquisition pilot symbol, overshoot and distortion by the transceiver are avoided during initial timing and frequency acquisition. Corresponding apparatus are also disclosed.
