    Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods for analyzing mRNA poly(A) tail sequences with a high resolution to determine poly(A) tail length and heterogeneity. The method involves digesting an mRNA molecule to liberate a poly(A) tail, preparing a chromatographic sample comprising the mRNA poly(A) tails, preparing a second chromatographic sample comprising a reference sequence comprising a mRNA poly(A) tails having a predetermined length, separating the first and second samples by a chromatography method, which result in one or more chromatograms, and determining a sequence length of the mRNA poly(A) tails by comparing the chromatograms of the first and second samples. Chromatography methods for analyzing the poly(A) tail may include ultraviolet size-exclusion chromatography (SEC UV), ultraviolet ion-pair reversed-phase liquid chromatography (IP RP LC UV), ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UPHLC), and combinations thereof.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for sample processing, particularly for oligonucleotide analysis e.g. analysis of formulated nucleic acid drugs. A composition for pretreating at least one target nucleic acid in a biological mixture provided herein includes a chaotropic agent selected from a substituted guanidine, a substituted amidine, a substituted quaternary amine, or a combination thereof, an optional protease, and/or an optional disulfide-reducing agent. Methods of analyzing at least one target nucleic acid in a biological mixture is also provided herein. Furthermore, the present disclosure provides methods for quantifying at least one target cationic lipid interacting with a nucleic acid.

    Abstract: Methods for quenching a nuclease digestion of a target nucleic acid prior to downstream analysis of the target nucleic acid are disclosed herein. Particularly, methods for controlling the end point of a nuclease digestion prior to sequence analysis of a target nucleic acid is provided. Quenching of a nuclease digestion in the present disclosure employs at least one non-ionic or anionic denaturant combined with an optional reducing agent. The methods presented in this disclosure aids preserving the sample comprising the target nucleic acid or fragments thereof for long term storage and ensures that the effect of contaminating nucleases is eliminated during pretreatment step.
