->Helicos Bioscience’s HeliScope platform is the first high-throughput method available for sequencing samples without requiring the extra polony-forming amplification step necessary to achieve signal on the 454, SOLiD, and Illumina platforms. The technique is essentially similar to Illumina’s,​ but does not require the bridge PCR amplification step, and utilizes only one dNTP at a time((HeliScope True Single Molecule Sequencing (tSMS™): Helicos BioSciences. @ http://​www.helicosbio.com/​Technology/​TrueSingleMoleculeSequencing/​tabid/​64/​Default.aspx))((Harris,​ T.D. et al. Single-Molecule DNA Sequencing of a Viral Genome. Science 320, 106-109 (2008).)). Like 454, HeliScope is subject to homopolymeric read error; substitutions and deletions may also occur. To reduce the error rate, each strand is sequenced twice((Harris,​ T.D. et al. Single-Molecule DNA Sequencing of a Viral Genome. Science 320, 106-109 (2008).)). Runs generate up to 28 gigabases of ~35bp reads((HeliScope True Single Molecule Sequencing (tSMS™): Helicos BioSciences. @ http://​www.helicosbio.com/​Technology/​TrueSingleMoleculeSequencing/​tabid/​64/​Default.aspx)). ​
