Abstract:
The present disclosure provides compositions, methods, kits, systems and apparatus that are useful for nucleic acid polymerization. In particular, modified polymerases and biologically active fragment thereof are provided that allow for nucleic acid amplification. In one aspect, the disclosure relates to modified polymerases useful for nucleic acid sequencing, genotyping, copy number variation analysis, paired-end sequencing and other forms of genetic analysis. In some aspects, the disclosure relates to modified polymerases useful for the generation of nucleic acid libraries or nucleic acid templates for use in various downstream processes. In some aspects, the disclosure relates to the identification of homologous amino acid mutations that can be transferred across classes or families of polymerases to provide novel polymerases with altered catalytic properties. In some aspects, the disclosure provides modified polymerases having enhanced catalytic properties as compared to a reference polymerase.
Abstract:
A method of sequencing a nucleic acid strand includes receiving particles having nucleic acid strands coupled to a polymer matrix, exposing the particles to a solution including a condensing agent, and applying the particles to a surface, the particles depositing on the surface.
Abstract:
Provided are methods for preparing a library of target nucleic acid sequences, as well as compositions and uses therefor. Methods comprise contacting a nucleic acid sample with a plurality of adaptors capable of amplification of one or more target nucleic acid sequences under conditions wherein the target nucleic acid(s) undergo a first amplification; digesting the resulting first amplification products; repairing the digested target amplicons; and amplifying the repaired products in a second amplification, thereby producing a library of target nucleic acid sequence. Each of the plurality of adaptor compositions comprise a handle and a targeted nucleic acid sequence and optionally one or more tag sequences. Provided methods may be carried out in a single, addition only workflow reaction, allowing for rapid production of highly multiplexed targeted libraries, optionally including unique tag sequences. Resulting library compositions are useful for a variety of applications, including sequencing applications.
