  • Patent number: 11821032
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods, compositions, mixtures and kits utilizing 5-Chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one in sequencing reactions, and in particular, sequencing reactions where deoxynucleoside triphosphates comprising a 3?-O position capped by a disulfide-based 3?-terminator group are used. In one embodiment, the deoxynucleoside triphosphates comprise a 3?-O position capped by a group comprising methylenedisulfide as a cleavable protecting group and a detectable label reversibly connected to the nucleobase of said deoxynucleoside. In addition, thiol-containing compounds and scavengers of thio-containing compounds are described. Such compounds provide new possibilities for future sequencing technologies, including but not limited to Sequencing by Synthesis.

  • Publication number: 20220073976
    Abstract: Cyclone Rolling Circle Amplification (CRCA) based next-generation sequencing (NGS) using a multiple primer rolling circle amplification (RCA) reaction is generated using two or more tandem primers from the same strand on different locations of library adaptor regions of double stranded enriched targeted polymerase chain reaction (PCR) library products. This process allows multiple initiation and syntheses of the RCA reaction by an enzyme on the same circular template molecule, which is beneficial since the two or more primers complement each other in generating uniform amplification of the target circle population. Also, a method for keeping DNA nanoballs (also known as rolonies) compact, or more compact, and for pre-priming rolonies before sequencing to eliminate the hybridization of a seqeuncing primer after seeding the rolonies, and a Rolonies rolling circle amplification (RCA) based next-generation sequencing (NGS) using a dual Rolonies primer approach named REPLI-Rolony.
