Abstract:
The present invention relates to means for and methods of collecting, enriching, and analyzing nucleic acids of interest of interest, e.g. those that are associated with the development of sepsis. These means may be used in vivo or in vitro using obtained nucleic acids of interest, e.g. for liquid biopsies. The invention can, inter alia, be used in the detection and enrichment as well as analysis of nucleic acids of interests such as those derived from pathogens or from individuals that may contain such pathogens.
Abstract:
Provided herein are multiplex methods for detecting the presence or absence and amount of variants of a plurality of target nucleic acid species having low-abundance variants and high-abundance variants.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the rapid enrichment of nucleic acid molecules of interest from complex mixtures of nucleic acids for the purpose of sequencing genes and variants, e.g . for clinical uses as well as other applications. A hybridisation column comprising an inner channel, wherein a portion of said channel is filled completely with a porous solid support comprising (a) a plurality of interconnected, micron-sized voids that permit a fluid to flow between them and the remainder of the channel, and (b) a plurality of hybridisation probes, which are bound to the surfaces of the solid support forming the voids is disclosed.
Abstract:
A method is provided herein, the method includes: applying a sample comprising target nucleic acids to a sample application zone of a substrate; applying an aqueous buffer to the sample application zone of the substrate to washes away one or more inhibitors present on the sample application zone; and applying an isothermal nucleic acid amplification reaction mixture to the sample application zone to amplify the target nucleic acid to form a nucleic acid amplification product. The target nucleic acid having a first molecular weight is substantially immobilized at the sample application zone and wherein the amplification product having a second molecular weight.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an improved method for characterising a template polynucleotide. The method involves using a polymerase to prepare a modified polynucleotide which makes it easier to characterise than the template polynucleotide.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods of elongating chromosomes. Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to methods of elongating DNA by immobilizing or attaching the DNA to a substrate. According to one aspect, naturally occurring DNA includes a nucleic acid and one or more factors bound thereto, and may be referred to herein as "starting DNA
Abstract:
Presented are methods and compositions for using immobilized transposase and a transposon end for generating an immobilized library of 5 '-tagged double-stranded target DNA on a surface. The methods are useful for generating 5'- and 3 '-tagged DNA fragments for use in a variety of processes, including massively parallel DNA sequencing.
