Abstract
The invention provides methods and systems for improved spatial resolution of signal detection, particularly as applied to the analysis of polymers such as biological polymers. Some of the methods and systems comprise differentially tagging polymers in order to increase resolution. Some of the methods and systems comprise techniques for improving the precision of separation distance measurements, without necessarily requiring improvements in the known detection resolution of prior art systems.
