Provided herein is a method for sequencing a polynucleotide molecules. The method includes the steps of providing a plurality of polynucleotide molecules attached to a surface, wherein a first portion of each polynucleotide molecule is attached to a first location of the surface and a second portion of each polynucleotide molecule is attached to a second location of the surface, the relative proximity of the first and second locations being correlated with the probability that the first and second portions are paired, separating the first and second portions of the polynucleotide molecules on the surface, determining the sequences of the first and second portions of the polynucleotide molecules and comparing the relative proximities and the sequences to determine which first and second portions are paired and to determine the sequence of the target polynucleotide molecules.

Reagents and methods for the analysis of nucleic acids (e.g. genomic DNA) of circulating microparticles (i.e. microparticles originating from blood) are provided. The methods comprise linking at least two fragments of a target nucleic acid of a circulating microparticle to produce a set of at least two linked fragments of the target nucleic acid. In the methods, fragments of a target nucleic acid may be linked by techniques such as barcoding, partitioning, ligation and/or separate sequencing. The sequencing of a set of linked fragments provides a set of informatically linked sequence reads corresponding to the sequences of fragments from a single microparticle.
