Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090075343SELECTION OF DNA ADAPTOR ORIENTATION BY NICKING - Aspects described and claimed herein provide methods to insert multiple DNA adaptors into a population of circular target DNAs at defined positions and orientations with respect to one another using nicking reactions. The resulting multi-adaptor constructs are then used in massively-parallel nucleic acid sequencing techniques.03-19-2009
20090111705SELECTION OF DNA ADAPTOR ORIENTATION BY HYBRID CAPTURE - Aspects described and claimed herein provide methods to insert multiple DNA adaptors into a population of circular target DNAs at defined positions and orientations with respect to one another by employing selective capture of defined molecules. The resulting multi-adaptor constructs are then used in massively-parallel nucleic acid sequencing techniques.04-30-2009
20090111706SELECTION OF DNA ADAPTOR ORIENTATION BY AMPLIFICATION - Aspects described and claimed herein provide methods to insert multiple DNA adaptors into a population of circular target DNAs at defined positions and orientations with respect to one another by employing amplification procedures. The resulting multi-adaptor constructs are then used in massively-parallel nucleic acid sequencing techniques.04-30-2009
20090176234Efficient base determination in sequencing reactions - The present invention is directed to compositions and methods for nucleic acid identification and detection. Compositions and methods of the present invention include extracting and fragmenting target nucleic acids from a sample, using the fragmented target nucleic acids to produce target nucleic acid templates and subjecting those target nucleic acid templates to amplification methods to form nucleic acid nanoballs. The invention also includes methods of detecting and identifying sequences using various sequencing applications, including sequencing by ligation methods.07-09-2009
20090176652Methods and Oligonucleotide Designs for Insertion of Multiple Adaptors into Library Constructs - Aspects described and claimed herein provide methods to insert multiple DNA adaptors into a population of circular target DNAs at defined positions and orientations with respect to one another. The resulting multi-adaptor constructs are then used in massively-parallel nucleic acid sequencing techniques.07-09-2009
20090203551Methods and Oligonucleotide Designs for Insertion of Multiple Adaptors Employing Selective Methylation - Aspects described and claimed herein provide methods to insert multiple DNA adaptors into a population of circular target DNAs at defined positions and orientations with respect to one another. The resulting multi-adaptor constructs are then used in massively-parallel nucleic acid sequencing techniques.08-13-2009
20090239764ARRAY-BASED TRANSLOCATION AND REARRANGEMENT ASSAYS - Methods for detecting genomic rearrangements are provided. In one embodiment, methods are provided for the use of paired end tags from restriction fragments to detect genomic rearrangements. Sequences from the ends of the fragments are brought together to form ditags and the ditags are detected. Combinations of ditags are detected by an on-chip sequencing strategy that is described herein, using inosine for de novo sequencing of short segments of DNA. In another aspect, translocations are identified by using target specific capture and analysis of the captured products on a tiling array.09-24-2009
