1. A kit for performing a sequencing-by-synthesis reaction, comprising:
- first and second nucleotide analogs, wherein the first nucleotide analog comprises a first fluorescent label that produces a first signal in response to excitation illumination, and the second nucleotide analog comprises a second fluorescent label that produces a second signal in response to excitation illumination, wherein the first and second signals have distinct signal intensities, and wherein the first and second signals comprise peaks at the same wavelengths wherein during incorporation of the first or second nucleotide analogs the first or second fluorescent labels are removed, anda polymerase enzyme for performing template-dependent synthesis employing the labeled nucleotide analogs.

Abstract
FRET-labeled compounds are provided for use in analytical reactions. In certain embodiments, FRET-labeled nucleotide analogs are used in place of naturally occurring nucleoside triphosphates or other analogs in analytical reactions comprising nucleic acids, for example, template-directed nucleic acid synthesis, DNA sequencing, RNA sequencing, single-base identification, hybridization, binding assays, and other analytical reactions.
