Abstract
The invention provides a nucleotide or nucleoside having a base attached to a detectable label via a cleavable linker, characterised in that the cleavable linker contains a moiety selected from the group comprising: Formula (I) (wherein X is selected from the group comprising O, S, NH and NQ wherein Q is a C1-10 substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, Y is selected from the group comprising O, S, NH and N(allyl). T is hydrogen or a C1-10 substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group and * indicates where the moiety is connected to the remainder of the nucleotide or nucleoside).

72. A method for determining the identity of a nucleotide in a target single-stranded polynucleotide, comprising:
-
(a) providing one or more of the nucleotides A, G, C and T or U in which each of said nucleotides has a base that is attached to a distinct detectable label via a linker, said linker comprising an azido group; and
a polynucleotide complementary to the target polynucleotide, one of said provided nucleotides being suitable for incorporation into said complementary polynucleotide;(b) incorporating the nucleotide suitable for incorporation into said complementary polynucleotide; and (c) detecting the detectable label, thereby determining the identity of a nucleotide. - View Dependent Claims (73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79)
