Disclosed herein are embodiments of single-molecule array sequencing (SMAS) devices and systems. Each sensor of an array of sensors of the SMAS device is capable of detecting labels attached to nucleotides incorporated into a single nucleic acid strand bound to a respective binding site. Each sensor can detect a single label (e.g., fluorescent, magnetic, organometallic, charged molecule, etc.) attached to the incorporated nucleotide. Also disclosed are methods of using SMAS devices and systems for highly-scalable nucleic acid (e.g., DNA) sequencing based on sequencing by synthesis (SBS) of multiple instances of clonally amplified DNA immobilized on such SMAS devices. Also disclosed are error correction methods that mitigate errors (e.g., errant label detections or non-detections) made in sequencing individual nucleic acid strands.
