| 20090176662 | End Modification to Prevent Over-Representation of Fragments - The invention relates to a method of preparing a 5′ and 3′ modified library of template polynucleotides and also the use of the 5′ and 3′ modified library of templates in methods of solid-phase nucleic acid amplification. In particular, the invention relates to a method of preparing a 5′ and 3′ modified library of template polynucleotides which have common sequences at their 5′ ends and at their 3′ ends, wherein over-representation of “end” sequences of the primary polynucleotide molecules from whence the 5′ and 3′ modified library is generated is greatly reduced or prevented. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20100041561 | Preparation of Nucleic Acid Templates for Solid Phase Amplification - The invention relates to a method of preparing template constructs for solid-phase nucleic acid amplification and to use of the templates in methods of solid-phase nucleic acid amplification. The method involves carrying out two ligation reactions: (a) a ligation reaction in which the first end of one or more target polynucleotide molecules are ligated to surface-bound adaptor polynucleotide molecules, and (b) a ligation reaction in which solution-phase adaptor polynucleotide molecules are ligated to the second end of said target polynucleotide molecules, in order to produce one or more template constructs attached to a solid support. | 02-18-2010 |
| 20100167954 | METHOD OF LIBRARY PREPARATION AVOIDING THE FORMATION OF ADAPTOR DIMERS - The invention relates to a method of preparing a library of template polynucleotides which reduces and/or prevents the formation of adaptor-dimers. The invention also relates to the use of a library of templates prepared using the method of the invention for solid-phase nucleic acid amplification. In particular, the invention relates to a method of preparing a library of template polynucleotides which have common sequences at their 5′ ends and at their 3′ ends which is substantially free of adaptor-dimers. | 07-01-2010 |
| 20110009276 | Method for Sequencing a Polynucleotide Template - The invention provides methods for pairwise sequencing of a double-stranded polynucleotide template, which methods result in the sequential determination of nucleotide sequences in two distinct and separate regions of the polynucleotide template. | 01-13-2011 |
