| 20080274466 | Enrichment Through Heteroduplexed Molecules - The present invention relates to the enrichment of specific target sequences Enrichment can be achieved through the formation of a heteroduplex that includes the specific target sequence and then the specific cleavage of the heteroduplex. A binding moiety is then added to the cleaved heteroduplex, allowing for the subsequent manipulation of the specific target sequence in the heteroduplex. | 11-06-2008 |
| 20090036325 | Directed assembly of amplicons to enhance read pairing signature with massively parallel short read sequencers - The present teachings relate to improved methods, kits, and compositions for making nucleic acid libraries and sequencing nucleic acids. In some embodiments, directionally defined concatamers are generated, facilitating sequencing efforts. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20090191566 | Kits for Isolating Nucleic Acids Using Multifunctional Group-Coated Solid Phase Carriers - The present invention is directed to a method of isolating a target species (e.g., target nucleic acid species) from a mixture. In the methods of the present invention, the mixture is combined with solid phase carriers having a surface comprising multiple functional groups one of which reversibly and selectively binds the target species. In a particular embodiment, the mixture is combined with solid phase carriers having a first functional group which reversibly binds nucleic acids and a second functional group which selectively and reversibly binds the target nucleic acid species, thereby producing a first combination. The first combination is maintained under conditions appropriate for binding of the nucleic acids to the first functional group and binding of the target nucleic acid species to the second functional group. The solid phase carriers are separated from the first combination, and combined with an agent (e.g., buffer) that selectively removes (e.g., elutes) either the nucleic acid from the first functional group or the target nucleic acid species from the second functional group of the solid phase carriers, thereby isolating a target nucleic acid species from a mixture comprising a plurality of nucleic acid species. | 07-30-2009 |
| 20090280540 | DIRECTED ENRICHMENT OF GENOMIC DNA FOR HIGH-THROUGHPUT SEQUENCING - The present invention provides microarrays of oligonucleotide primer pairs, and in particular, microarrays of primers that comprise at least one cleavable linkage. Also provided are methods to capture oligonucleotide primer pairs from one or more microarrays, and methods to use the captured oligonucleotide primer pairs, such as for amplification of a target polynucleotide sequence. In addition, methods of using a microarray to isolate, purify and/or amplify a target polynucleotide are provided. | 11-12-2009 |
| 20100028888 | METHODS FOR PRODUCING A PAIRED TAG FROM A NUCLEIC ACID SEQUENCE AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF - Methods for producing a paired tag from a nucleic acid sequence are provided in which the paired tag comprises the 5′ end tag and 3′ end tag of the nucleic acid sequence. In one embodiment, the nucleic acid sequence comprises two restriction endonuclease recognition sites specific for a restriction endonuclease that cleaves the nucleic acid sequence distally to the restriction endonuclease recognition sites. In another embodiment, the nucleic acid sequence further comprises restriction endonuclease recognition sites specific for a rare cutting restriction endonuclease. Methods of using paired tags are also provided. In one embodiment, paired tags are used to characterize a nucleic acid sequence. In a particular embodiment, the nucleic acid sequence is a genome. In one embodiment, the characterization of a nucleic acid sequence is karyotyping. Alternatively, in another embodiment, the characterization of a nucleic acid sequence is mapping of the sequence. In a further embodiment, a method is provided for identifying nucleic acid sequences that encode at least two interacting proteins. | 02-04-2010 |
