    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.

    Abstract: Efficient methods for production of targeted libraries from complex samples is desirable for a variety of nucleic acid analyses. Provided are methods of selectively blocking abundant targets present in a sample for preparing libraries of target nucleic acid sequences, thereby allowing for rapid production of highly multiplexed targeted libraries and analysis of low frequency sequences, including sequencing applications. Methods optionally include use of unique tag sequences. Methods comprise contacting a nucleic acid sample with a plurality of target specific primers or adapters 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; ligating the digested target amplicons or repairing the digested target amplicons; and amplifying the ligated or repaired products in a second amplification, thereby producing a library of target nucleic acid sequence. Each of the reactions further comprise target specific primers that are not capable of completely processing the workflow, resulting in non-useful amplicon production and thereby blocking selected target sequences, e.g., those present in high abundance in the sample. 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, which are optimized for detection of low frequency target sequences.

    Abstract: A method of aligning a plurality of targets is provided. The method includes generating a plurality of targets. A third phase includes the plurality of targets. The method further includes combining a first phase, a second phase, and the third phase in a volume. The first phase, the second phase, and the third phase are substantially immiscible, and the third phase is in fluid communication with the first phase and the second phase, and the first phase, the second phase, and the third phase are operable to be in a configuration of the third phase between the first phase and the second phase in the volume.
