Methods and compounds, including compositions therefrom, are provided for determining the sequence of nucleic acid molecules. The methods permit the determination of multiple nucleic acid sequences simultaneously. The compounds are used as tags to generate tagged nucleic acid fragments which are complementary to a selected target nucleic acid molecule. Each tag is correlative with a particular nucleotide and, in a preferred embodiment, is detectable by mass spectrometry. Following separation of the tagged fragments by sequential length, the tags are cleaved from the tagged fragments. In a preferred embodiment, the tags are detected by mass spectrometry and the sequence of the nucleic acid molecule is determined therefrom. The individual steps of the methods can be used in automated format, e.g., by the incorporation into systems.
提供了用于确定核酸分子序列的方法和化合物,包括从中制备的组合物。该方法允许同时确定多个核酸序列。这些化合物被用作标记,以生成与所选目标核酸分子互补的标记核酸片段。每个标记与特定的核苷酸相关联,并且在优选实施例中,可通过质谱检测。在将标记的片段按顺序长度分离后,标记从标记的片段中被切割下来。在优选实施例中,标记通过质谱检测被检测到,并从中确定核酸分子的序列。方法的各个步骤可以在自动化格式中使用,例如通过纳入系统中。
