ATTACHING NUCLEOTIDES TO A POLYNUCLEOTIDE WITH A POLYMERASE

Abstract:

Provided is a method including hybridizing a polynucleotide to a template, contacting a first template nucleotide 5-prime adjacent to a 5-prime-most nucleotide of the plurality of nucleotides that are complementary to the polynucleotide with a polymerase and a charge-tagged nucleotide, wherein the charge-tagged nucleotide is complementary to the first template nucleotide and includes a charge tag attached to a 5-prime polyphosphate of the charge-tagged nucleotide.
