摘要:
The present invention provides methods and compositions for the analysis of gene expression in single cells or in a plurality of single cells. The invention provides methods for preparing a cDNA library from individual cells by releasing mRNA from each single cell to provide a plurality of individual mRNA samples, synthesizing cDNA from the individual mRNA samples, tagging the individual cDNA, pooling the tagged cDNA samples and amplifying the pooled cDNA samples to generate a cDNA library. The invention also provides a cDNA library produced by the methods described herein. The invention further provides methods for analyzing gene expression in a plurality of cells by preparing a cDNA library as described herein and sequencing the library.
摘要:
Disclosed herein is an efficient method of generating a library of variants of a sequence of interest, such as may be used in directed evolution, in one embodiment, the method includes an amplification reaction, e.g. error-prone PCR, to generate double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) variants of a sequence of interest, after which one strand of the dsDNA variants may be selectively degraded to produce single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) variants. The ssDNA variants may be hybridized to ssDNA intermediaries, e.g., uracilated circular ssDNA intermediaries, to form heteroduplex DNA, which may be transformed into cells, such as E. coli cells, yielding a library of variants. This method eliminates the inefficient sub-cloning steps and the need for costly primer sets required by many prior methods.

The method can include: (1) providing a plurality of blunt-end double-stranded nucleic acid fragments having a restriction enzyme recognition sequence at both ends thereof; (2) producing via enzymatic digestion a plurality of cohesive-end double-stranded nucleic acid fragments each having two different and non-complementary overhangs; (3) ligating the plurality of cohesive-end double-stranded nucleic acid fragments with a ligase; and (4) forming a linear arrangement of the plurality of cohesive-end double-stranded nucleic acid fragments, wherein the unique arrangement comprises the target nucleic acid. In certain embodiments, the plurality of blunt-end double-stranded nucleic acid fragments can be provided by: releasing a plurality of oligonucleotides synthesized on a solid support; and synthesizing complementary strands of the plurality of oligonucleotides using a polymerase based reaction.
摘要:
Methods and apparatus of some aspects of the invention relate to the synthesis of high fidelity polynucleotides. In particular, aspects of the invention relate to concurrent enzymatic removal of amplification sequences and ligation of processed oligonucleotides into nucleic acid assemblies. According to some embodiments, the invention provides a method for producing a target nucleic acid having a predefined sequence. In some embodiments, the method comprises the step of providing a plurality of oligonucleotides, wherein each oligonucleotides comprises (i) an internal sequence identical to a different portion of a sequence of a target nucleic acid, (ii) a 5′ sequence flanking the 5′ end of the internal sequence and a 3′ flanking sequence flanking the 3′ end of the internal sequence, each of the flanking sequence comprising a primer recognition site for a primer pair and a restriction enzyme recognition site.
