High-throughput DNA melt measurements enable improved models of DNA folding thermodynamics by Yuxi Ke, Eesha Sharma, Hannah K. Wayment-Steele, Winston R. Becker, Anthony Ho, Emil Marklund, William J. Greenleaf

“…Current methods for predicting stability from DNA sequence use nearest-neighbor models that struggle to accurately capture the diverse sequence dependence of secondary structural motifs beyond Watson-Crick base pairs, likely due to insufficient experimental data. In this work, we introduce a massively parallel method, Array Melt, that uses fluorescence-based quenching signals to measure the equilibrium stability of millions of DNA hairpins simultaneously on a repurposed Illumina sequencing flow cell. …”
