As shown in Figure 1, when its lifting screen 102 is in the descending state 1a, the gene sequencing system includes a shell 101, a lifting screen 102, a waste liquid compartment door A103 and a waste liquid compartment door B104, wherein the lifting screen 102 is touchable; when its lifting screen 102 is in the ascending state 1b, the gene sequencing system receives sequencing slides through the sample insertion interface A105 and the sample insertion interface B106, and receives the sequencing reagent tank through the reagent insertion interface A107 and the reagent insertion interface B108. The sequencing system uses the sequencing reagents in the sequencing reagent tank to analyze one or more biological characteristics of the sample in the sequencing slide, thereby achieving gene sequencing.

[0028] FIG2 is a structural diagram of a gene sequencing system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG3 is an internal structural diagram of a gene sequencing system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The gene sequencing system will be described below in conjunction with FIG2 and FIG3 .

[0029] In Figure 2 , the gene sequencing system includes a control device 208, a first biochemical reaction and detection platform 202, and a second biochemical reaction and detection platform 204. Control device 208 is configured to control the first and second biochemical reaction and detection platforms to perform synchronous or asynchronous sequencing, respectively. The gene sequencing system also includes a data acquisition module 206, which is configured to collect data from sequencing slides after biochemical reactions on the first or second biochemical reaction and detection platforms have been performed, after the control device moves the first or second biochemical reaction and detection platform to a sampling position.

[0030] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the control device 208 in FIG. 2 is referred to as the electronic and motion control device in FIG. 3 . The first biochemical reaction and detection platform 202 and the second biochemical reaction and detection platform 204 in FIG. 2 correspond to biochemical reaction and detection platform A 202 and biochemical reaction and detection platform B 204, respectively, in FIG. 3 . The first and second biochemical reaction and detection platforms are collectively referred to as the biochemical reaction and detection platforms. The data acquisition module 206 in FIG. 2 includes an objective lens, a camera, an autofocus module, and a defined Z-axis in FIG. 3 . This data acquisition module 206 is used to focus and capture images of sequencing slides during the signal detection phase. The synchronous sequencing process described above refers to a process in which multiple sequencing slides are sequenced simultaneously, for example, two sequencing slides are sequenced simultaneously; the asynchronous sequencing process refers to a process in which multiple sequencing slides are sequenced asynchronously, for example, two sequencing slides are sequenced asynchronously. It should be noted that the number of biochemical reaction and detection platforms can be set according to actual needs. This is merely an example and does not limit the number of biochemical reaction and detection platforms.

[0031] Through this gene sequencing system, the purpose of performing biochemical reactions and information detection on sequencing slides can be achieved on the same platform, without having to transfer the sequencing slides between the biochemical reaction platform and the signal detection platform, thereby speeding up the overall sequencing time and reducing the overall cost and volume of the gene sequencing system. It solves the technical problem of large gene sequencing system volume and long sequencing time caused by the fact that gene sequencing systems in related technologies require two platforms to perform biochemical reactions and signal detection on sequencing slides respectively when performing gene sequencing.

[0032] Optionally, the gene sequencing system in Figure 2 also includes an XY platform 201, and the first biochemical reaction and detection platform 202 and the second biochemical reaction and detection platform 204 are set on the XY platform 201, wherein the XY platform 201 is used to move within a preset range of the XY coordinate system.

[0033] In the disclosed embodiment, XY platform 201 in FIG. 2 is also the XY platform in FIG. 3 , which is a motion control platform used to move within a preset travel range of an XY coordinate system. Biochemical reaction and detection platform A 202 and biochemical reaction and detection platform B 204 are disposed on XY platform 201. It should be noted that when there are multiple biochemical reaction and detection platforms, these platforms are disposed on the same XY platform 201.

[0034] Optionally, the biochemical reaction and detection platform includes a fluid device and a fixture, i.e., both the first biochemical reaction and detection platform and the second biochemical reaction and detection platform include a fluid device and a fixture. For ease of description, the fluid device and fixture in the first biochemical reaction and detection platform are referred to as a first fluid device and a first fixture, and the fluid device and fixture in the second biochemical reaction and detection platform are referred to as a second fluid device and a second fixture. The fluid device is used to pump reagents required for the biochemical reaction from the sequencing reagent tank into the sequencing slide, and the fixture is used to secure the sequencing slide placed on the biochemical reaction and detection platform. The fluid device, the fixture, and the sequencing slide are connected via an internal flow channel.

[0035] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the fluidic device (or first fluidic device) in biochemical reaction and detection platform A202 is referred to as reagent chamber A and fluidic device A2021 in FIG3 , and the fixture (or first fixture) in biochemical reaction and detection platform A202 is referred to as sequencing slide fixture A2022 in FIG3 . The fluidic device (or second fluidic device) in biochemical reaction and detection platform B204 is referred to as reagent chamber B and fluidic device B2041 in FIG3 , and the fixture (or second fixture) in biochemical reaction and detection platform B204 is referred to as sequencing slide fixture B2042 in FIG3 .

[0036] It should be noted that in Figure 3, before using biochemical reaction and detection platform A202 for gene sequencing, the user places sequencing slide A203 on biochemical reaction and detection platform A202. Internal flow channels connect sequencing slide A203, sequencing slide fixture A2022, reagent reservoir A, and fluidic device A2021. Before using biochemical reaction and detection platform B204 for gene sequencing, the user places sequencing slide B205 on biochemical reaction and detection platform B204. Internal flow channels connect sequencing slide B205, sequencing slide fixture B2042, reagent reservoir B, and fluidic device B2041.

[0037] Optionally, the gene sequencing system in FIG2 further includes a computer 207 , which is connected to the control device 208 and the data acquisition module 206 , respectively, for sending control instructions to the control device and obtaining data information from the control device.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the computer 207 in FIG. 2 is also the computer in FIG. 3 , and is used to control and schedule the gene sequencing system by sending instructions, such as sending instructions to the control device 208 and the data acquisition module 206 , including acquiring images from the camera in the data acquisition module and acquiring data information such as device status from the control device 208 .

[0039] Optionally, the control device 208 in FIG. 2 is configured to receive control instructions, control the data acquisition module 206 according to the control instructions, and control the fluid device and the fixing device in the first biochemical reaction and detection platform or the second biochemical reaction and detection platform.

[0040] In the disclosed embodiment, the control device 208 receives control instructions from the computer 207 and distributes these instructions to the fluidic devices and fixtures in the first biochemical reaction and detection platform and / or the second biochemical reaction and detection platform. For example, in FIG3 , the control instructions may be distributed to the reagent reservoir A and fluidic device A 2021, the sequencing slide fixture A 2022, the reagent reservoir B and fluidic device B 2041, and the sequencing slide fixture B 2042. The control device 208 also distributes these control instructions to the data acquisition module 206, thereby controlling the objective lens, camera, autofocus module, and Z-axis. Simultaneously, the control device 208 obtains relevant status information from these other devices and uploads it to the computer 207.

[0041] Optionally, the computer 207 in the above-mentioned gene sequencing system is also used to obtain the number of sequencing carriers to be sequenced; determine the sequencing process based on the number of sequencing carriers, wherein when the number of sequencing carriers is 1, it corresponds to the first sequencing process; when the number of sequencing carriers is greater than 1 and the sequencing carriers are sequenced simultaneously, it corresponds to the second sequencing process; when the number of sequencing carriers is greater than 1 and the sequencing carriers are sequenced at different times, it corresponds to the third sequencing process.

[0042] In some embodiments, the third sequencing process can be implemented in a rolling fashion alongside the second sequencing process. Rolling onboarding refers to a method that relies on scheduling methods, either through software or software and hardware collaboration, to provide users with multiple independent service execution paths while providing partially redundant equipment rather than a fully redundant system. Furthermore, rolling onboarding can be defined as an efficient scheduling strategy that allows for dynamic management of sequencing equipment and processing of multiple sequencing processes through the collaborative work of software and hardware, without impacting the currently executing sequencing process, thereby improving the throughput and resource utilization of the sequencing system. For example, if a single sequencing system is perceived by the user as implementing a single service pipeline, rolling onboarding allows the user to perceive the system as implementing two or more service pipelines without requiring the use of two or more sequencing systems. For example, a gene sequencer is currently analyzing a set of DNA samples, i.e., sequencing process A. Simultaneously, the scheduling device learns that another set of samples is ready to be run onboard for sequencing process B, and that the current execution of sequencing process A is about to reach an interruptible point. Without even learning or interrupting any of these points, the scheduling device immediately directs the next set of samples to be run onboard. Alternatively, if the scheduling device learns that sequencing process A is about to reach an interruptible point, it will pause and save the state of sequencing process A. It will then quickly switch to loading another set of samples and begin sequencing process A and B synchronously or asynchronously. This rolling loading strategy ensures maximum utilization of sequencing resources and improves sequencing efficiency.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, taking two sequencing slides as an example, that is, taking sequencing slide A203 and sequencing slide B205 as an example, the gene sequencing system supports sequencing of any single slide of sequencing slide A203 and sequencing slide B205, sequencing of two slides at the same time, and rolling sequencing of two slides. Specifically: when the number of slides to be sequenced is 1, it corresponds to the first sequencing process, that is, sequencing of any single slide; when the number of slides to be sequenced is greater than 1 and the sequencing slides are sequenced at the same time, it corresponds to the second sequencing process, that is, sequencing of two slides at the same time; when the number of slides to be sequenced is greater than 1 and the sequencing slides are not sequenced at the same time, it corresponds to the third sequencing process, that is, rolling sequencing of two slides. The above sequencing schemes all use a specific scheduling method that combines software and hardware to make the sample undergo multiple cycles of biochemical reactions and signal acquisition inside the gene sequencing system to achieve gene sequencing of the sample. The following is an explanation.

[0044] Optionally, the first sequencing process includes: step S11, the computer receives sequencing information filled in by the target object, and controls the lifting and lowering of the lifting screen according to the sequencing information so that the target object is placed in the sequencing reagent tank and the sequencing slide in the gene sequencing system; step S12, the computer sends a first instruction to the fluid device in the first biochemical reaction and detection platform or the fluid device in the second biochemical reaction and detection platform through the control device, wherein the first instruction is used to control the fluid device in the first biochemical reaction and detection platform or the second biochemical reaction and detection platform (i.e., the first fluid device or the second fluid device) to pump the reagents required for the biochemical reaction from the sequencing reagent tank into the sequencing slide so that the sample to be tested undergoes a biochemical reaction and enters the current cycle of gene sequencing; within a preset time before the biochemical reaction is completed, the computer sends a second instruction to the XY stage in the gene sequencing system through the control device, wherein the second instruction is used to control the XY stage to move to a first position so that the area on the sequencing slide where signal detection is required is at the position of the objective lens Z Directly below the direction, the objective lens is in the data acquisition module; step S13, after the biochemical reaction is completed, the computer sends a third instruction to the data acquisition module through the control device, wherein the third instruction is used to achieve focusing and signal acquisition on the sequencing carrier.

[0045] Optionally, when there are multiple areas in the sequencing slide that require signal collection, the computer controls the XY platform to move successively through the second instruction so that the first target area is located directly below the objective lens in the Z direction, wherein the first target area is a plurality of areas in the sequencing slide that require signal collection.

[0046] Optionally, the first sequencing process also includes: after completing signal acquisition for all areas requiring signal acquisition in the sequencing slide, determining whether all cycles of the gene sequencing cycle are completed, wherein the gene sequencing cycle includes step S12 and step S13; if all cycles of the gene sequencing cycle are not completed, returning to step S12 to continue gene sequencing of the sample to be tested, and if all cycles of the gene sequencing cycle are completed, executing step S14; step S14, generating a sequencing result for the sequencing slide.

[0047] The first sequencing process described above is explained below with reference to FIG4 . FIG4 is a flow chart of the first sequencing process according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG4 , the sequencing process for sequencing any single slide (taking the individual sequencing of sequencing slide A203 as an example) includes: a sequencing preparation stage S1001 , a biochemical reaction stage S1002 , a signal acquisition stage S1003 , and a sequencing result generation stage S1004 . Specifically:

[0048] Step S1001: The user fills in the sequencing information. After the computer 207 receives the sequencing information filled in by the target subject, it first controls the lifting screen 102 to rise according to the sequencing information. After the user places the sequencing reagent tank A in the reagent insertion interface A107, the lifting screen 102 descends and preloads the reagent. Then the lifting screen 102 rises. After the user places the sequencing slide A203 in the sample insertion interface A105, the lifting screen 102 descends, thereby completing the sequencing preparation and entering the biochemical reaction stage of step S1002.

[0049] Step S1002: The computer 207 sends a first instruction to the fluidic device A via the control device 208. After receiving the first instruction, the fluidic device A pumps the reagents required for the biochemical reaction from the sequencing reagent tank A into the sequencing slide A 203 via the internal flow channel, so that the sample to be tested undergoes a biochemical reaction. Within a preset time (e.g., 10 seconds) before the biochemical reaction is completed, the computer 207 sends a second instruction to the XY platform 201 via the control device 208. After receiving the second instruction, the XY platform 201 moves to the first position. For example, the control device 208 moves the XY platform 201 to a specific coordinate position (XY) in the xy coordinate system. A1 , Y A1 ) so that the area on the sequencing slide A203 where signal detection is required is directly below the objective lens in the Z direction, and the signal acquisition stage of step S1003 is entered.

[0050] Step S1003: After the biochemical reaction is completed, the computer 207 sends a third instruction to the data acquisition module 206 through the control device 208, and the objective lens moves in the Z direction via the Z axis to achieve focusing and signal acquisition on the sequencing slide A203.

[0051] It should be noted that one biochemical reaction corresponds to one cycle, and multiple signal acquisitions may be performed in the cycle. Specifically, when the sequencing slide A203 may contain one, two, or more regions that require signal detection (i.e., the first target region), multiple signal acquisitions are required in the cycle corresponding to this biochemical reaction. After each signal acquisition in the signal acquisition phase, it is necessary to determine whether signal acquisition of all regions in the current cycle has been completed. If signal acquisition of all regions in the current cycle has not been completed, the computer 207 moves the XY platform 201 to the next specific coordinate position (XY coordinate position) through the control device 208. A* , Y A* ) so that the next area on the sequencing slide A203 that needs to be detected for signal is directly below the objective lens in the Z direction, and the control device 208 sends a third instruction to the data acquisition module 206, so that the signal acquisition for the next area on the sequencing slide A203 that needs to be detected for signal is completed through the third instruction, and this cycle is completed after all areas on the sequencing slide A203 that need to be detected for signal have completed signal acquisition.

[0052] Step S1004: Gene sequencing of the sample is achieved through a cycle of biochemical reaction stage S1002 and signal acquisition stage S1003, generating a sequencing result for sequencing slide A203. Specifically, since multiple biochemical reactions are required throughout the entire gene sequencing process, each biochemical reaction corresponds to one cycle. After the current cycle completes signal acquisition from all regions on the sequencing slide requiring signal acquisition, a determination is made as to whether all cycles of the gene sequencing cycle have been completed. The gene sequencing cycle includes steps S1002 and S1003. If all cycles of the gene sequencing cycle have not been completed, the process returns to step S1002 to continue biochemical reactions on the sample to be tested. If all cycles of the gene sequencing cycle have been completed, a gene sequencing result for sequencing slide A203 is generated.

[0053] Optionally, the second sequencing process includes: step S21, the computer receives sequencing information filled in by the target object, and controls the lifting and lowering of the lifting screen according to the sequencing information so that the target object is placed in the sequencing reagent tank and the sequencing slide in the gene sequencing system; step S22, the computer sends a fourth instruction to the first fluid device in the first biochemical reaction and detection platform and the second fluid device in the second biochemical reaction and detection platform through the control device, wherein the fourth instruction is used to control the first fluid device and the second fluid device to pump the reagents required for the biochemical reaction from the sequencing reagent tank into the corresponding sequencing slide so that the sample to be tested undergoes a biochemical reaction and enters the gene sequencing cycle of the current cycle, and each fluid device corresponds to a sequencing slide; within a preset time before the biochemical reaction is completed, the computer detects the XY The system includes: a step of determining the occupation status of the platform; in a state where the XY platform is occupied by other sequencing carriers, after waiting for the XY platform to be released, the first sequencing carrier among the sequencing carriers occupies the XY platform, and the computer sends a fifth instruction to the XY platform in the gene sequencing system through the control device, wherein the fifth instruction is used to control the XY platform to move to the second position so that the area of ​​the first sequencing carrier requiring signal detection is directly below the objective lens in the Z direction, the objective lens is in the data acquisition module, and the first sequencing carrier is any one of the sequencing carriers corresponding to the first biochemical reaction and detection platform or the second biochemical reaction and detection platform; step S23, after the biochemical reaction is completed, the computer sends a sixth instruction to the data acquisition module through the control device, wherein the sixth instruction is used to achieve focusing and signal acquisition for the first sequencing carrier.

[0054] Optionally, when there are multiple areas in the first sequencing slide that require signal collection, the computer controls the XY platform to move successively through the fifth instruction so that the second target areas are successively located directly below the objective lens in the Z direction, wherein the second target areas are multiple areas in the first sequencing slide that require signal collection.

[0055] Optionally, the second sequencing process also includes: after completing signal acquisition for all areas requiring signal acquisition in the first sequencing carrier, releasing the XY platform, and determining whether all cycles of gene sequencing cycles are completed, wherein the gene sequencing cycle includes step S22 and step S23; if all cycles of gene sequencing cycles are not completed, returning to step S22 to continue gene sequencing of the sample to be tested in the first sequencing carrier, and if all cycles of gene sequencing cycles are completed, executing step S24; step S24, generating the sequencing result of the first sequencing carrier.

[0056] The second sequencing process is explained below with reference to FIG5a and FIG5b. FIG5a is a flowchart of the first part of the second sequencing process according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG5b is a flowchart of the second part of the second sequencing process according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG5a and FIG5b, the sequencing process of simultaneously sequencing two slides (taking the sequencing of sequencing slide A203 and sequencing slide B205 as an example, wherein the sequencing process of sequencing slide A in the second sequencing process corresponds to FIG5a, and the sequencing process of sequencing slide B in the second sequencing process corresponds to FIG5b) includes: a sequencing preparation stage S2001, biochemical reaction stages S2002 and S2003, signal acquisition stages S2004 and S2005, and sequencing result generation stages S2006 and S2007. Specifically:

[0057] Step S2001: The user fills in the sequencing information. After the computer 207 receives the sequencing information filled in by the target subject, it first controls the lifting screen 102 to rise according to the sequencing information. After the user places sequencing reagent tank A and sequencing reagent tank B in the reagent insertion interface A107 and the reagent insertion interface B108, the lifting screen 102 descends and preloads the reagents. Then the lifting screen 102 rises, and the user places sequencing slide A203 and sequencing slide B205 in the sample insertion interface A105 and the sample insertion interface B106. In step S2001, the sequencing slide A or sequencing slide B corresponds to the first sequencing slide, thereby completing the sequencing preparation and entering the biochemical reaction stage of step S2002 and step S2003. Step S2002 corresponds to the biochemical reaction stage of sequencing slide A, and step S2003 corresponds to the biochemical reaction stage of sequencing slide B.

[0058] Step S2002: The computer 207 issues a fourth instruction to the fluidic device A via the control device 208. After receiving the fourth instruction, the fluidic device A pumps the reagents required for the biochemical reaction from the sequencing reagent tank A into the sequencing slide A 203 via the internal flow channel, so that the sample to be tested in the sequencing slide A undergoes a biochemical reaction and enters the current gene sequencing cycle. Within a preset time (e.g., 10 seconds) before the biochemical reaction is completed, the computer 207 detects whether the XY platform 201 is occupied by another sequencing slide (e.g., sequencing slide B). If occupied, the computer 207 waits until the XY platform 201 is released, and then the sequencing slide A 203 occupies the XY platform 201. The computer 207 issues a fifth instruction to the XY platform 201 via the control device 208. After receiving the fifth instruction, the XY platform 201 moves to the second position in the xy coordinate system. For example, the control device 208 moves the XY platform 201 to a specific coordinate position (XY) in the xy coordinate system. A1 , Y A1 ) so that the area on the sequencing slide A203 where signal detection is required is directly below the objective lens in the Z direction, and the signal acquisition stage of step S2004 is entered.

[0059] Step S2004: After the biochemical reaction is completed and the XY platform 201 moves to the second position, the computer 207 sends a sixth instruction to the data acquisition module 206 through the control device 208, and moves the objective lens in the Z direction via the Z axis to achieve focusing and signal acquisition on the sequencing slide A203.

[0060] It should be noted that one biochemical reaction corresponds to one cycle, and multiple signal acquisitions may be included in the cycle. Specifically, in the second sequencing process, when the sequencing slide A203 may contain one, two, or more areas that need to be detected (i.e., the second target area mentioned above), multiple signal acquisitions need to be performed in the cycle corresponding to this biochemical reaction. After each signal acquisition in the signal acquisition stage, it is necessary to determine whether the signal acquisition of all areas in the current cycle has been completed. If the signal acquisition of all areas in the current cycle has not been completed, the computer 207 moves the XY platform 201 to the next specific coordinate position (X A* , Y A* ), so that the next area of ​​the sequencing slide A203 that needs to be signal detected is directly below the objective lens in the Z direction, and the control device 208 issues a sixth instruction to the data acquisition module 206, so that the signal acquisition of the next area of ​​the sequencing slide A203 that needs to be signal acquired is realized through the sixth instruction, and the cycle is completed after all areas that need to be signal acquired in the sequencing slide A203 have completed signal acquisition; and after completing the signal acquisition of all areas in the current cycle (or this cycle), the XY platform 201 is released, and the process goes to step S2006.

[0061] Step S2006: Gene sequencing of the sample is achieved through a cycle of biochemical reaction S2002 and signal acquisition stage S2004, generating a sequencing result for sequencing slide A203. Specifically, since multiple biochemical reactions are required during the entire gene sequencing process, each biochemical reaction corresponds to a cycle. After signal acquisition is completed in all regions of the current cycle, XY platform 201 is released and a determination is made as to whether all gene sequencing cycles have been completed. The gene sequencing cycle includes steps S2002 and S2004. If all gene test cycles have not been completed, the process returns to step S2002 to continue biochemical reactions on the sample to be tested on sequencing slide A203. If all gene sequencing cycles have been completed, a sequencing result for sequencing slide A203 is generated.

[0062] After executing step S2001, the biochemical reaction corresponding to sequencing slide B proceeds to step S2003: the computer 207 issues a fourth instruction to the fluidic device B via the control device 208. After receiving the fourth instruction, the fluidic device B pumps the reagents required for the biochemical reaction from the sequencing reagent tank B into the sequencing slide B 205 via the internal flow channel, so that the sample to be tested in the sequencing slide B undergoes a biochemical reaction and enters the current gene sequencing cycle. Within a preset time (e.g., 10 seconds) before the completion of the biochemical reaction, the computer 207 detects whether the XY platform 201 is occupied by another sequencing slide (e.g., sequencing slide A). If occupied, the computer 207 waits until the XY platform 201 is released, and then the sequencing slide B 205 occupies the XY platform 201. The computer 207 issues a fifth instruction to the XY platform 201 via the control device 208. After receiving the fifth instruction, the XY platform 201 moves to the second position in the xy coordinate system, for example, moving the XY platform 201 to a specific coordinate position (XY) in the xy coordinate system. B1 , Y B1 ) so that the area on the sequencing slide B205 where signal detection is required is directly below the objective lens in the Z direction, and the signal acquisition stage of step S2005 is entered.

[0063] Step S2005: After the biochemical reaction is completed and the XY platform 201 moves to the second position, the computer 207 sends a sixth instruction to the data acquisition module 206 through the control device 208, and moves the objective lens in the Z direction via the Z axis to achieve focusing and signal acquisition on the sequencing slide B205.

[0064] It should be noted that one biochemical reaction corresponds to one cycle, and multiple signal acquisitions may be performed in the cycle. Specifically, when the sequencing slide B205 may contain one, two, or more regions that require signal detection (i.e., the second target region), multiple signal acquisitions are required in the cycle corresponding to this biochemical reaction. After each signal acquisition in the signal acquisition phase, it is necessary to determine whether signal acquisition of all regions in the current cycle has been completed. If signal acquisition of all regions in the current cycle has not been completed, the computer 207 moves the XY platform 201 to the next specific coordinate position (XY coordinate position) through the control device 208. B* , Y B* ), so that the next area of ​​the sequencing slide B205 that needs to be signal detected is directly below the objective lens in the Z direction, and the control device 208 issues a sixth instruction to the data acquisition module 206, so that the signal acquisition of the next area of ​​the sequencing slide B205 that needs to be signal acquired is realized through the sixth instruction, and the cycle is completed after all areas that need to be signal acquired in the sequencing slide B205 have completed signal acquisition; and after completing the signal acquisition of all areas in the current cycle (or this cycle), the XY platform 201 is released, and the process goes to step S2007.

[0065] Step S2007: Gene sequencing of the sample is achieved through a cycle of biochemical reaction S2003 and signal acquisition stage S2005, generating a sequencing result for sequencing slide B205. Specifically, since multiple biochemical reactions are required during the entire gene sequencing process, each biochemical reaction corresponds to one cycle. After signal acquisition is completed in all regions of the current cycle, XY platform 201 is released and a determination is made as to whether all cycles of the gene sequencing cycle have been completed. The gene sequencing cycle includes steps S2003 and S2005. If all cycles of the gene testing cycle have not been completed, the process returns to step S2003 to continue biochemical reactions on the sample to be tested on sequencing slide B205. If all cycles of the gene sequencing cycle have been completed, a sequencing result for sequencing slide B205 is generated.

[0066] During the second sequencing process, sequencing slide A (Figure 5a) and sequencing slide B (Figure 5b) alternately cycle through the XY platform, occupies and releases the platform, performing their respective biochemical reactions and signal acquisition, ultimately obtaining their respective sequencing results, and completing the co-sequencing of sequencing slide A 203 and sequencing slide B 205. By alternating the use of the two slides for sequencing, the instrument's operating time is maximized, idle time during sequencing is reduced, and sequencing efficiency is improved. Furthermore, because both slides can simultaneously perform biochemical reactions and signal acquisition, co-sequencing can shorten sequencing cycles and accelerate the production of sequencing results.

[0067] In another optional embodiment, the lifting screen 102 can be divided into independent lifting screen A and lifting screen B, and the XY platform 201 can be divided into independent XY platform A and XY platform B. Therefore, when sequencing together, sequencing carrier A and sequencing carrier B do not need to check the occupancy status of the XY platform, and there is no need to wait, which makes the use more flexible.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the third sequencing process is reflected in that during the sequencing process of a sequencing slide being sequenced by the sequencing system, new sequencing is performed on another sequencing slide, that is, in any stage of gene sequencing on the second sequencing slide among the sequencing slides, a new process of gene sequencing on the third sequencing slide is created, wherein the stages of gene sequencing include a sequencing preparation stage, a biochemical reaction stage, a signal acquisition stage, and a sequencing result generation stage.

[0076] The third sequencing process is explained below with reference to FIG6a and FIG6b. FIG6a is a flowchart of the first part of the third sequencing process according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG6b is a flowchart of the second part of the third sequencing process according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG6a and FIG6b, the sequencing process of rolling sequencing of two slides (taking rolling sequencing of sequencing slide A203 and sequencing slide B205 as an example, wherein the sequencing process of sequencing slide A in the third sequencing process corresponds to FIG6a, and the sequencing process of sequencing slide B in the third sequencing process corresponds to FIG6b) includes: sequencing preparation stages S3001 and S3005, biochemical reaction stages S3002 and S3006, signal acquisition stages S3003 and S3007, and sequencing result generation stages S3004 and S3008. Specifically:

[0077] The gene sequencing process corresponding to sequencing slide A203 is shown in Figure 6a and is as follows:

[0078] Step S3001: The user enters sequencing information. After receiving the sequencing information entered by the target subject, the computer 207 first controls the lifting screen 102 to rise according to the sequencing information. After the user places the sequencing reagent tank A on the reagent insertion interface A107, the lifting screen 102 descends and preloads the reagent. Then, the lifting screen 102 rises, and the user places the sequencing slide A203 on the sample insertion interface A105. In step S3001, the sequencing slide A203 corresponds to the second sequencing slide mentioned above, thereby completing the sequencing preparation and entering the biochemical reaction stage of step S3002.

[0079] Step S3002: The computer 207 issues a seventh instruction to the fluidic device A via the control device 208. After receiving the seventh instruction, the fluidic device A pumps the reagents required for the biochemical reaction from the sequencing reagent tank A into the sequencing slide A 203 via the internal flow channel, causing the sample to be tested in the sequencing slide A to undergo a biochemical reaction and enter the current gene sequencing cycle. Within a preset time (e.g., 10 seconds) before the biochemical reaction on the sequencing slide A 203 is completed, the computer 207 detects whether the XY platform 201 is occupied by another sequencing slide. If occupied, the computer 207 waits until the XY platform 201 is released, and then the sequencing slide A 203 occupies the XY platform 201. The computer 207 issues an eighth instruction to the XY platform 201 via the control device 208. After receiving the eighth instruction, the XY platform 201 moves to a third position in the xy coordinate system. For example, the control device 208 moves the XY platform 201 to a specific coordinate position (XY) in the xy coordinate system. A1 , Y A1 ) so that the area on the sequencing slide A203 where signal detection is required is directly below the objective lens in the Z direction, and the signal acquisition stage of step S3003 is entered.

[0080] Step S3003: After the biochemical reaction is completed and the XY platform 201 moves to the third position, the computer 207 sends a ninth instruction to the data acquisition module 206 through the control device 208, and moves the objective lens in the Z direction via the Z axis to achieve focusing and signal acquisition on the sequencing slide A203.

[0081] It should be noted that one biochemical reaction corresponds to one cycle, and multiple signal acquisitions may be included in the cycle. Specifically, in the third sequencing process, when the sequencing slide A203 may contain one, two, or more areas that need to be detected (i.e., the third target area), multiple signal acquisitions are required in the cycle corresponding to this biochemical reaction. After each signal acquisition in the signal acquisition phase, it is necessary to determine whether the signal acquisition of all areas in the current cycle has been completed. If the signal acquisition of all areas in the current cycle has not been completed, the computer 207 moves the XY platform 201 to a specific coordinate position (X A* , Y A* ), so that the next area of ​​the sequencing slide A203 that needs to be detected by signal is directly below the objective lens in the Z direction, and the control device 208 sends a ninth instruction to the data acquisition module 206, so that the signal acquisition of the next area of ​​the sequencing slide A203 that needs to be detected by signal is realized through the ninth instruction, and the cycle is completed after all the areas that need to be detected by signal in the sequencing slide A203 have completed signal acquisition; and after completing the signal acquisition of all areas in the current cycle (or this cycle), the XY platform 201 is released, and the process goes to step S3004.

[0082] Step S3004: Gene sequencing of the sample is achieved through a cycle of biochemical reaction S3002 and signal acquisition S3003, generating a sequencing result for sequencing slide A203. Specifically, since multiple biochemical reactions are required during the entire gene sequencing process, each biochemical reaction corresponds to one cycle. After signal acquisition is completed for all regions of the current cycle, XY platform 201 is released, and a determination is made as to whether all gene sequencing cycles have been completed. The gene sequencing cycle includes steps S3002 and S3003. If all gene test cycles have not been completed, the process returns to step S3002 to continue biochemical reactions on the sample to be tested on sequencing slide A203. If all gene sequencing cycles have been completed, a sequencing result for sequencing slide A203 is generated.

[0083] When the sequencing slide A203 is in any of the stages S3001, S3002, S3003, and S3004, a new sequencing can be performed on the sequencing slide B205. The sequencing slide B205 is the third sequencing slide mentioned above, as shown in FIG6 b . Specifically, the steps include:

[0084] Step S3005: The user fills in the sequencing information. After receiving the sequencing information filled in by the target subject, the computer 207 checks whether the XY platform 201 is occupied by other sequencing carriers (such as sequencing carrier A). If occupied, the computer 207 waits until the XY platform 201 is released, and then sequencing carrier B 205 occupies the XY platform 201. After the lifting screen 102 rises, the user places sequencing reagent tank B on the reagent insertion interface B108. Then the lifting screen 102 descends and preloads the reagents. The computer 207 checks again whether the XY platform 201 is occupied by other sequencing carriers (such as sequencing carrier A). If occupied, the computer 207 waits until the XY platform 201 is released, and then sequencing carrier B 205 occupies the XY platform 201. Then the lifting screen 102 rises. After the user places sequencing carrier B 205 on the sample insertion interface B106, the lifting screen 102 descends and releases the XY platform 201, thereby completing the sequencing preparation and entering the biochemical reaction stage of step S3006.

[0085] Step S3006: The computer 207 issues a tenth instruction to the fluidic device B via the control device 208. After receiving the tenth instruction, the fluidic device B pumps the reagents required for the biochemical reaction from the sequencing reagent tank B into the sequencing slide B 205 through the internal flow channel, so that the sample to be tested on the sequencing slide B undergoes a biochemical reaction and enters the current gene sequencing cycle. Within a preset time (e.g., 10 seconds) before the biochemical reaction on the sequencing slide B 205 is completed, the computer 207 detects whether the XY platform 201 is occupied by another sequencing slide (e.g., sequencing slide A). If occupied, the computer 207 waits until the XY platform 201 is released, and then the sequencing slide B 205 occupies the XY platform 201. The computer 207 issues an eleventh instruction to the XY platform 201 via the control device 208. After receiving the eleventh instruction, the XY platform 201 moves to the fourth position in the xy coordinate system. For example, the control device 208 moves the XY platform 201 to a specific coordinate position (XY) in the xy coordinate system. B1 , Y B1 ) so that the area on the sequencing slide B205 where signal detection is required is directly below the objective lens in the Z direction, and the signal acquisition stage of step S3007 is entered.

[0086] Step S3007: After the biochemical reaction is completed and the XY platform 201 moves to the fourth position, the computer 207 sends the twelfth instruction to the data acquisition module 206 through the control device 208, and moves the objective lens in the Z direction through the Z axis to achieve focusing and signal acquisition on the sequencing carrier B205.

[0087] It should be noted that one biochemical reaction corresponds to one cycle, and multiple signal acquisitions may be included in the cycle. Specifically, in the third sequencing process, when the sequencing slide B205 may contain one, two, or more areas that need to be detected (i.e., the fourth target area), multiple signal acquisitions are required in the cycle corresponding to this biochemical reaction. After each signal acquisition in the signal acquisition stage, it is necessary to determine whether the signal acquisition of all areas in the current cycle has been completed. If the signal acquisition of all areas in the current cycle has not been completed, the computer 207 moves the XY platform 201 to a specific coordinate position (X B* , Y B* ), so that the next area of ​​the sequencing slide B205 that needs to be detected by signal is directly below the objective lens in the Z direction, and the control device 208 sends a twelfth instruction to the data acquisition module 206, so that the signal acquisition of the next area of ​​the sequencing slide B205 that needs to be detected by signal is realized through the twelfth instruction, and the signal acquisition of the next area of ​​the sequencing slide B205 that needs to be detected by signal is completed until all areas of the sequencing slide B205 that need to be detected by signal have completed signal acquisition, and this cycle is completed; and after completing the signal acquisition of all areas in the current cycle (or this cycle), the XY platform 201 is released, and the process goes to step S3008.

[0088] Step S3008: Gene sequencing of the sample is achieved through a cycle of biochemical reaction S3006 and signal acquisition S3007, generating a sequencing result for sequencing slide B205. Specifically, since multiple biochemical reactions are required during the entire gene sequencing process, each biochemical reaction corresponds to one cycle. After signal acquisition is completed for all regions of the current cycle, XY platform 201 is released, and a determination is made as to whether all gene sequencing cycles have been completed. The gene sequencing cycle includes steps S3006 and S3007. If all gene test cycles have not been completed, the process returns to step S3006 to continue biochemical reactions on the sample to be tested on sequencing slide B205. If all gene sequencing cycles have been completed, a sequencing result for sequencing slide B205 is generated.

[0089] In another optional embodiment, the lifting screen 102 can be divided into independent lifting screen A and lifting screen B, and the XY platform 201 can be divided into independent XY platform A and XY platform B. Therefore, during rolling sequencing, the sequencing carrier A and the sequencing carrier B do not need to check the occupancy of the XY platform, and there is no need to wait, which makes the use more flexible.

[0090] In the above-mentioned third sequencing process, at any stage of gene sequencing on the second sequencing carrier in the sequencing carrier, a new process for gene sequencing on the third sequencing carrier can be created. At the same time, the second sequencing carrier and the third sequencing carrier sequentially perform a cyclic operation of occupying and releasing the XY platform, which can realize their respective biochemical reactions and signal acquisition, and ultimately obtain their respective sequencing results, thereby reducing the waiting time of the third sequencing carrier and manual intervention in the operation, and improving the efficiency of the gene sequencing system; in addition, the rolling sequencing of the two carriers also reduces the idle time of the gene sequencing system and improves the utilization rate of the gene sequencing equipment.

[0091] In the gene sequencing system provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, a compact optimized design enables biochemical reactions and signal detection to be performed on sequencing slides on the same platform. Compared with related technologies, signal detection can be performed immediately after the biochemical reaction is completed, eliminating the need for a transfer step between the biochemical reaction platform and the signal acquisition platform. This speeds up the overall sequencing time. At the same time, the required internal space for movement is small, reducing the overall cost and size of the sequencing system. In addition, the flexibility of the gene sequencing system in performing gene sequencing on multiple sequencing slides can be enhanced.

[0092] FIG7 is a flow chart of a gene sequencing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG7 , the method includes the following steps:

[0093] Step S602, obtaining the number of sequencing slides to be sequenced;

[0094] Step S604: Determine a sequencing process based on the number of sequencing slides, wherein the sequencing process is used to control the first biochemical reaction and detection platform and the second biochemical reaction and detection platform to perform synchronous or asynchronous sequencing processes, respectively, by a control device in the gene sequencing system. The gene sequencing system includes the control device, the first biochemical reaction and detection platform, and the second biochemical reaction and detection platform.

[0095] Step S606, when the number of sequencing slides is 1, execute the first sequencing process; when the number of sequencing slides is greater than 1 and the sequencing slides are sequenced simultaneously, execute the second sequencing process; when the number of sequencing slides is greater than 1 and the sequencing slides are not sequenced simultaneously, execute the third sequencing process.

[0096] Through the above steps S602 to S606, the purpose of performing biochemical reactions and information detection on the sequencing slide on the same platform can be achieved, and there is no need to transfer the sequencing slide between the biochemical reaction platform and the signal detection platform, thereby speeding up the overall sequencing time, reducing the overall cost and size of the gene sequencing system, and solving the technical problems of large gene sequencing system size and long sequencing time caused by the gene sequencing system in the related art requiring two platforms to perform biochemical reactions and signal detection on the sequencing slide respectively when performing gene sequencing. In addition, the above steps can also realize the sequencing of a single slide (i.e., the first sequencing process described above), the simultaneous sequencing of two slides (i.e., the second sequencing process described above), and the rolling sequencing of two slides (i.e., the third sequencing process described above), thereby enhancing the flexibility of the gene sequencing system.
