The present disclosure provides methods and systems for performing single-molecule detection using fabricated integrated on-chip devices. In an aspect, the present disclosure provides a method for on-chip detection of an array of biological, chemical, or physical entities, comprising: (a) providing an array of light sensing devices; (b) immobilizing the array of biological, chemical, or physical entities on a substrate of the array of light sensing devices; (c) exposing the array of biological, chemical, or physical entities to electromagnetic radiation sufficient to excite the array of biological, chemical, or physical entities, thereby producing an emission signal of the array of biological, chemical, or physical entities; (d) using the array of light sensing devices, acquiring pixel information of the emission signal of the array of biological, chemical, or physical entities without scanning the array of light sensing devices across the array of biological, chemical, or physical entities; and (d) detecting the array of biological, chemical, or physical entities based at least in part on the acquired pixel information.

The present invention concerns a method of sequencing immobilized polynucleotides in which beads which are tethered to the solid support are used as labels to identify bases within the polynucleotides. The beads carry sets of probes or bases which can bind to the polynucleotide allowing identification of the target base(s). Identification of the base(s) is achieved through sequential application of different cleavage means specific to different probes/bases carried on the beads. Also provided is an apparatus for performing the method and a kit comprising the apparatus and other components necessary for performing the method.

Polynucleotide sequencing methods for sequencing one or more polynucleotide templates use primers bound to a surface as sequencing primers. The surface primers may include at least a portion of a surface oligonucleotide used during cluster formation. The sequencing methods may be used for single stranded sequencing or double stranded sequencing. Double stranded sequencing methods may employ an enzyme that has nick-translation activity. A kit includes all the reagents needed for sequencing does not include sequencing primers. The kit may be used to accomplish the sequencing methods of the present disclosure.
