A method for identifying a nucleic acid template that include (a) providing a plurality of primer-template hybrids, wherein a first hybrid of the plurality includes a first template hybridized to a first primer, and wherein a second hybrid of the plurality includes a second template hybridized to a second primer, the second primer having a ternary complex inhibitor moiety at the 3' end; (b) delivering polymerases and nucleotides to the plurality, whereby the first hybrid binds a polymerase and nucleotide to form a stabilized ternary complex and whereby the second hybrid does not bind a polymerase and nucleotide to form a stabilized ternary complex; and (c) detecting the stabilized ternary complex to identify the first template.

Methods and compositions for capping nucleic acids

A method for identifying a nucleotide in a template nucleic acid by (a) providing a plurality of primer-template nucleic acid hybrids, wherein the primers have an extendable 3' end; (b) contacting the plurality with: (i) blocked nucleotides to produce a first subset of the primer-template nucleic acid hybrids that include a blocked nucleotide at the 3&#x2032; end, and (ii) a ternary complex inhibitor to produce a second subset of the primer-template nucleic acid hybrids that include a ternary complex inhibitor; (c) forming ternary complexes that each include a polymerase, a primer-template nucleic acid hybrid of the first subset, and a cognate nucleotide; and (d) detecting the ternary complexes, thereby identifying a nucleotide in the template nucleic acid.

Increased signal to noise in nucleic acid sequencing

A method for identifying a nucleic acid template that includes (a) providing a plurality of primer-template hybrids, wherein a first hybrid of the plurality includes a first template hybridized to a first primer, and wherein a second hybrid of the plurality includes a second template hybridized to a second primer, the second primer having a ternary complex inhibitor moiety at the 3' end; (b) delivering polymerases and nucleotides to the plurality, whereby the first hybrid binds a polymerase and nucleotide to form a stabilized ternary complex and whereby the second hybrid does not bind a polymerase and nucleotide to form a stabilized ternary complex; and (c) detecting the stabilized ternary complex to identify the first template.

An analytical system that includes a flow cell, a liquid delivery component, a gas delivery component and a bubble generator component, wherein the liquid delivery component is configured to deliver liquid from one or more reservoirs to the bubble generator component, wherein the gas delivery component is configured to deliver gas from one or more source to the bubble generator component, and wherein the bubble generator component is configured to mix liquids from the liquid delivery component with gas from the gas delivery component to deliver a fluid foam to the inside of the flow cell, wherein the fluid foam includes bubbles of the gas in the liquid.
