Abstract

The invention provides particle compositions having applications in nucleic acid analysis. Nucleic acid polymer particles of the invention allow polynucleotides to be attached throughout their volumes for higher loading capacities than those achievable solely with surface attachment. In one aspect, nucleic acid polymer particles of the invention comprise polyacrylamide particles with uniform size distributions having low coefficients of variations, which result in reduced particle-to-particle variation in analytical assays. Such particle compositions are used in various amplification reactions to make amplicon libraries from nucleic acid fragment libraries.

Claims (14)

1. A method of sequencing a template nucleic acid comprising:

(a) disposing a particle in a reaction confinement region associated with an electronic-based sensor, wherein the particle includes a non-nucleosidic polymer network and a plurality of template nucleic acids attached to the non-nucleosidic polymer network, the particle having a coefficient of variance of volume of not greater than 15%, wherein the non-nucleosidic polymer network is a polyacrylamide gel, the polymer being permeable to proteins having a size in the range of 50 kilodaltons to 200 kilodaltons;

(b) performing a polymerase extension reaction on a primer annealed to one or more of the plurality of template nucleic acids to incorporate a nucleotide into the primer; and

(c) detecting a signal output in the electronic-based sensor indicative of the incorporation of the nucleotide into the primer.

2. The method of claim 1 , further including disposing a plurality of particles into a plurality of reaction confinement regions in an array of reaction confinement regions, wherein each of the reaction confinement regions of the plurality of reaction confinement regions is operatively coupled to an electronic-based sensor.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the array of reaction confinement regions includes at least 10 5 microwells.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein at least one particle in the plurality of particles includes a template nucleic acid having a sequence that differs from the sequence of a template nucleic acid of at least one other particle in the plurality of particles.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the plurality of particles has an average diameter of from about 0.5 μm to about 10 μm.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reaction confinement region has a volume that is no greater than 10 μm 3 .

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the particle includes a clonal population of nucleic acids.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reaction confinement region includes no more than one particle.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the particle is substantially spherical or spheroidal in shape.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the electronic-based sensor includes a field effect transistor.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polyacrylamide gel is formed by copolymerization of acrylamide and bis-acrylamide.
