摘要:
The present invention provides novel isothermal, single primer linear nucleic acid amplification methods. Methods for amplifying complementary DNA using a composite primer, primer extension, strand displacement, and optionally a termination sequence, are provided. Methods for amplifying sense RNA using a composite primer, primer extension, strand displacement, optionally template switching, a propromoter oligonucleotide and transcription are also provided. The invention further provides compositions and kits for practising said methods, as well as methods which use the amplification products.
摘要:
The present invention discloses nucleic acid detector probes for specific detection and/or quantification of target nucleic acid sequences and detection and/or quantification methods using these probes. In the absence of target nucleic acid sequence, a first oligonucleotide and a third oligonucleotide are bound to each other in a conformation which brings two member of an interacting moiety pair (labels) into close spatial proximity. Cooperative binding of the first oligonucleotide and a second oligonucleotide to a target nucleic acid sequence causes displacement of the third oligonucleotide from the first oligonucleotide probe resulting in separation of the two members of the interacting moiety pair (labels). The spatial separation of the moieties (labels) is detectable, and indicates the presence and/or amount of the target nucleic acid sequence. The method is useful for detection and/or quantification of a specific nucleic acid sequence as well as the detection of sequence alteration in the target nucleic acid sequence.
摘要:
Methods for isothermal exponential amplification of a target polynucleotide are disclosed. The methods employ two transcription modules, the first module providing linear amplification resulting in RNA transcripts, and a second module providing for further (generally cyclical) amplification resulting in more RNA transcripts. In one aspect, the amplification for the first module is composite primer based. In a second aspect, the amplification of the first module is based on target switching to generate a primer extension product comprising a promoter sequence. In all aspects, the RNA transcripts of the first transcription module are subjected to further amplification by creating an intermediate product comprising a double stranded promoter region from which transcription can occur. The invention further provides compositions and kits for practicing said methods, as well as methods which use the amplification results.
摘要:
The present invention provides improved methods, compositions and kits for short read next generation sequencing (NGS). The methods, compositions and kits of the present invention enable phasing of two or more nucleic acid sequences in a sample, i.e. determining whether the nucleic acid sequences (typically comprising regions of sequence variation) are located on the same chromosome and/or the same chromosomal fragment. Phasing information is obtained by performing multiple, successive sequencing reactions from the same immobilized nucleic acid template. The methods, compositions and kits provided herein are useful, for example, for haplotyping, SNP phasing, or for determining downstream exons in RNA-seq.
摘要:
The present invention provides methods, compositions and kits for the generation of next generation sequencing (NGS) libraries in which non-desired nucleic acid sequences have been depleted or substantially reduced. The methods, compositions and kits provided herein are useful, for example, for the production of libraries from total RNA with reduced ribosomal RNA and for the reduction of common mRNA species in expression profiling from mixed samples where the mRNAs of interest are present at low levels. The methods of the invention can be employed for the elimination of non-desired nucleic acid sequences in a sequence-specific manner, and consequently, for the enrichment of nucleic acid sequences of interest in a nucleic acid library.

The present invention provides methods, compositions and kits for targeted nucleic acid sequence enrichment in a nucleic acid sample and for high efficiency nucleic acid library generation for next generation sequencing (NGS). Specifically, the methods, compositions and kits provided herein are useful for the production and capture of amplification-ready, target-specific and strand-specific regions of interest from nucleic acid samples containing complex DNA.
