The invention is a method of sequencing polymers in which the sequence of one or more polymers is determined through an emergent property of the binding interactions of a repertoire of molecular probes to the polymer(s).

The invention also encompasses novel structures and methods comprising providing a molecular adapter for capture and manipulation of transfer RNA. The adaptor is bound to a tRNA molecule. The adaptor may be a cholesterol-linked DNA adapter oligonucleotide. The invention is useful in sequencing, identification, manipulation and modification of tRNA.

The Invention is a method for ascertaining extremely long DNA sequence reads (kilobases or megabases) from polony-type DNA sequencers. Polony-type DNA sequencers (e.g., Illumina, Roche, and Life Technologies sequencers) typically give read lengths of only about 500 bp. The Invention can extend those read lengths by orders of magnitude.

A method for treating a solution including nucleic acid, comprising the steps of: arranging the solution on a first surface of a first base material having the first surface, which has a well defined by an electrode and a resist; and after arranging the solution on the first surface of the first base material, pressing the first base material and a second base material, which has a hydrophobic second surface, together so that the second surface of the second base material and the first surface of the first base material face each other.
