摘要:
Methods for producing a paired tag from a nucleic acid sequence are provided in which the paired tag comprises the 5′ end tag and 3′ end tag of the nucleic acid sequence. In one embodiment, the nucleic acid sequence comprises two restriction endonuclease recognition sites specific for a restriction endonuclease that cleaves the nucleic acid sequence distally to the restriction endonuclease recognition sites. In another embodiment, the nucleic acid sequence further comprises restriction endonuclease recognition sites specific for a rare cutting restriction endonuclease. Methods of using paired tags are also provided. In one embodiment, paired tags are used to characterize a nucleic acid sequence. In a particular embodiment, the nucleic acid sequence is a genome. In one embodiment, the characterization of a nucleic acid sequence is karyotyping. Alternatively, in another embodiment, the characterization of a nucleic acid sequence is mapping of the sequence. In a further embodiment, a method is provided for identifying nucleic acid sequences that encode at least two interacting proteins.

摘要:
A pair of asymmetrical, partially double-stranded oligonucleotide adapters are provided wherein the pair of adapters comprise a first asymmetrical oligonucleotide adapter comprising a single-stranded 3′ overhang and a second asymmetrical double-stranded oligonucleotide adapter comprising a single-stranded 5′ overhang and at least one blocking group on the strand of said second asymmetrical oligonucleotide adapter that does not comprise the 5′ overhang. Also provided are a pair of double-stranded Y oligonucleotide adapters and a pair of double-stranded bubble oligonucleotide adapters and methods of using said asymmetrical adapters for amplification of at least one double stranded nucleic acid molecule, wherein the amplification produces a plurality of amplified nucleic acid molecules having a different nucleic acid sequence at each end are also described. Also provided is a method for exponentially amplifying one strand in a double-stranded nucleic acid molecule. Also provided are methods for preparing libraries of paired tags using COS-linkers. Also provided are cleavable adapters comprising an affinity tag and a cleavable linkage, wherein cleaving the cleavable linkage produces two complementary ends. Methods of using the cleavable adapters to produce a paired tag library are also described.
