Mass spectrometry sequencing of long digital polymers facilitated by programmed inter-byte fragmentation

Digital information can be stored in monomer sequences of non-natural macromolecules, but only short chains can be read. Here the authors show long multi-byte digital polymers sequenced in a moderate resolution mass spectrometer. Full sequence coverage can be attained without pre-analysis digestion...
