1. A method of capturing and sequencing a target nucleic acid molecule comprising:
- (a) exposing a solid support to a mixture of nucleic acids comprising the target nucleic acid molecule under hybridizing conditions, wherein the target nucleic acid molecule forms a specific hybridization complex with a primer immobilized on the solid support in a priming-competent configuration;
(b) separating unbound and non-specifically bound nucleic acids from the solid support;
(c) exposing the solid support to a polymerase and nucleotides under polymerization conditions; and
(d) determining a nucleic acid sequence of the target nucleic acid molecule by detecting nucleic acid polymerization from the immobilized primer by the polymerase using the target nucleic acid molecule as a template.

9. A method of determining the methylation status of a genomic DNA fragment, the method comprising:
-
(a) immobilizing a genomic DNA fragment on a solid support; (b) determining a nucleic acid sequence of the immobilized genomic DNA fragment on the solid support by detecting nucleic acid polymerization by a polymerase using the immobilized genomic DNA fragment as a template; (c) subjecting the immobilized genomic DNA fragment to bisulfite treatment; (d) determining a nucleic acid sequence of the immobilized, bisulfite-treated genomic DNA fragment on the solid support by detecting nucleic acid polymerization by a polymerase using the immobilized, bisulfite-treated genomic DNA fragment as a template; (e) comparing the nucleic acid sequence determined in (b) with the sequence determined in (d), wherein conversion of a cytosine residue in the genomic DNA fragment indicates that the residue was unmethylated in the genomic DNA fragment prior to the bisulfite treatment, and wherein absence of conversion of a cytosine residue in the genomic DNA fragment indicates that the residue was methylated in the genomic DNA fragment prior to the bisulfite treatment. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
