This technology is a DNA sequencing approach that utilizes nucleotide analogues and Raman detection, reducing costs and increasing efficiency.
Current methods of DNA sequencing involve the use of expensive fluorophores that require constant time-consuming breaks for reads. There are currently no DNA sequencing assays that are fluorophore independent for use in high throughput sequencing.
This technology utilizes Raman detection instead of expensive fluorophores for DNA sequencing by synthesis. Raman scattering is a photo scattering method that can identify nucleotides. The use of Raman spectroscopic signals for DNA sequencing by synthesis is an alternative for high-cost fluorophores in sequencing by synthesis approaches and allows scalability to high throughput sequencing.
