    摘要: The present invention provides an approach to increase the effective read length of commercially available sequencing platforms to several kilobases and be broadly applied to obtain long sequence reads from mixed template populations. A method for generating extended sequence reads of long DNA molecules in a sample, comprising the steps of: assigning a specific barcode sequence to each template DNA molecule in a sample to obtain barcode-tagged molecules; amplifying the barcode-tagged molecules; fragmenting the amplified barcode-tagged molecules to obtain barcode-containing fragments; juxtaposing the barcode-containing fragments to random short segments of the original DNA template molecule during the process of generating a sequencing library to obtain demultiplexed reads; and assembling the demultiplexed reads to obtain extended sequence reads for each DNA template molecule, is disclosed.
