US Patent 11939632 Nucleic acid sequencing using nanotransistors

Embodiments may include a nucleic acid molecule system. The system may include a nucleic acid polymerase attached to a tether compound. The polymerase may be configured to elongate a nascent strand. The system may also include a nucleotide attached to a label compound. The label compound may include a moiety. The system may further include a transistor in electrical communication with a power supply. The polymer may be attached to the transistor. In addition, the system may include a meter device configured to measure an electrical characteristic of the transistor from the moiety after the label compound is cleaved from the nucleotide by the nucleic acid polymerase.
