The invention relate to systems and methods for sequencing polynucleotides, as well as detecting reactions and binding events involving other biological molecules. The systems and methods may employ chamber-free devices and nanosensors to detect or characterize such reactions in high-throughput. Because the system in many embodiments is reusable, the system can be subject to more sophisticated and improved engineering, as compared to single use devices.

The invention provides a method of selectively amplifying a detection target nucleic acid by inhibiting amplification of a detection non-target nucleic acid (e.g., wild-type gene) in a test sample by using, in a nucleic acid amplification reaction, an oligonucleotide analog containing one or more kinds of one or more unit structures of various nucleoside analogs represented by the following formula (I): ##STR00001##
wherein the symbols are as defined in the DESCRIPTION, and the like, or a salt thereof, as a clamp nucleic acid, and detecting the amplified nucleic acid.
