Abstract
The invention provides methods and compositions for the controlled termination of polymerase mediated primer extension reactions. The methods and compositions of the invention are broadly useful, and in a preferred aspect can be used in identifying sequence elements of template nucleic acids. Control of termination not only provides temporal control over termination, but, when used in conjunction with optically confined reaction regions, also spatially controls such termination.
