Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a single-molecule fluorescence real-time imaging technology, in particular to a photon nanometer jet and laser array unit and a single-molecule fluorescence gene sequencer.
Background
The gene sequencer provides an important means for researching gene structure, replication, transcription, translation, expression regulation and control, physiological functions of expression products, cell signal transduction and other life phenomena. The first generation Sanger sequencing method needs multiple groups of primers, can only detect common mutant consensus sequences, and cannot realize the detection of the mutation level of a single virus molecule. The throughput of the second-generation sequencing is improved by thousands of times, the sequencing cost is greatly reduced, and the sequencing result has high accuracy, and mainly comprises a pyrosequencing technology of Roche company, a Solexa sequencing technology of Illumina company and a SOLID sequencing technology of ABI company. Second generation technologies are mainly characterized by high throughput and low cost, but second generation sequencing is typically less than 300bp in length and sequencing coverage is affected by GC components.
The third generation gene sequencing is characterized by Single molecule, long read length and amplification-free, and represents the Single-molecule Real-time (SMRT) sequencing technology of RS (Real-time sequencing) of product PacBio. The SMRT sequencing technique relies on the fact that nucleic acids bind to long strands of DNA at the polymerase, which takes much longer to form chemical bonds than other free bases. By counting the time length of the fluorescence signal, the bound base and the free base can be distinguished, and the sequence measurement of the DNA long chain is realized.
An array structure based on zero mode waveguides is proposed in patent CN101914620B, which realizes an optical confinement array. The zero mode waveguide can achieve the prevention of electromagnetic radiation having a frequency below a cutoff frequency from propagating longitudinally through the core of the zero mode waveguide, wherein the zero mode waveguide creates an effective observation volume of resolvable single molecules upon illumination of the zero mode waveguide with electromagnetic radiation having a frequency below the cutoff frequency. Chip surface density reaches 4 x 104 optical confinement arrays of confinement per square millimeter. However, due to the size limitation of the zero mode waveguide structure and the depth of the nanopore, the filling rate is low during the sequencing process, and only about 30% of the zero mode waveguide is successfully biologically modified, so that single molecule sequencing can be performed. The pore structure reduces the throughput in the actual sequencing process, increasing the cost of the test. The average read length during sequencing of the RSII series by Pacbio was about 4600bp, throughput was about 3.2Gb, run time was 40 hours, accuracy was 82.1% -84.9%, and run cost was $ 4800 and data cost was $ 1500/Gb. However, the zero mode waveguide technology of PacBio cannot greatly increase the loading rate of the DNA fragments in the nanopore array, which is only about 30% at present. The instrument cost and the sequencing use cost are much higher than those of the second-generation sequencing, and the market share is limited.
