First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for sequencing nucleic acids, comprising:
- a) flowing labeled deoxynucleotide triphosphates onto template nucleic acids which are hybridized to a primer nucleic acid, where the template nucleic acids or primers are attached to a support, and wherein the labeled nucleotide triphosphates include a molecular tag bonded to the beta- or gamma-phosphate;
b) incorporating one of the labeled nucleotide triphosphates into at least one of the primers with a polymerase;
c) releasing a tagged pyrophosphate which includes the molecular tag bonded to the beta- or gamma-phosphate; and
d) detecting the released tagged pyrophosphates.
