Abstract
The present invention pertains to a method for determining a sequence of contiguous bases within a polynucleotide, the method relying on single-base primer extension using labeled dideoxynucleotide terminators. The primers are immobilized to solid supports (e.g. microspheres or two-dimensional arrays), allowing for the identification of the labeled terminator incorporated into each primer.
