Abstract

See full text

An embodiment of a method for optimizing sequencing performance is described that comprises the steps of calculating a nucleotide species specific degradation rate of an apyrase enzyme for a plurality of nucleotide species; determining a concentration for each of the nucleotide species using the nucleotide species specific degradation rate; iteratively providing the concentration of each of the nucleotide species in a reaction environment comprising a polymerase enzyme and a species of template nucleic acid molecule, wherein one or more molecules of the nucleotide species are incorporated into a nascent molecule in a sequencing reaction and the apyrase enzyme is introduced to the reaction environment to degrade unincorporated nucleotide species molecules; and detecting a signal in response to the incorporation of the nucleotide species.
