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带标记的核酸片段。每个标记与特定的核苷酸相关,在优选实施例中,可以通过质谱法检测到。在通过顺序长度分离带标记的片段后,将从带标记的片段中切除标记。在优选实施例中,通过质谱法检测标记,并从中确定核酸分子的序列。该方法的各个步骤可以以自动化格式使用,例如通过纳入系统中。
