Abstract: Various approaches for generating long-distance contiguity information to facilitate contig assembly and phase determination are disclosed. Nucleic acids are assembled into complexes using binding moieties such that, when the nucleic acid backbones are cleaved, the ensuing fragments remain bound. Exposed ends are tagged and ligated either to one another or to tagging moieties such as oligo labels. Ligated junctions are sequenced, and the sequence information is used to assemble contigs into common scaffolds or to assign phase information. Various approaches to tagging the exposed ends are presented.

Abstract: The disclosure provides methods to isolate genome or chromosome level structural information from preserved samples. In some cases, samples preserved under conditions where long-range nucleic acid information is believed to be irreparably lost, such as FFPE samples, are treated to recover nucleic acid-protein complexes stabilized as part of the sample preservation process. The complexes are processed so as to recover information regarding which nucleic acids are bound to a common complex, and the information is used to recover genomic structural information.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, compositions and systems that facilitate accurate phasing of sequence data such as genomic sequence data through the segmentation and rearrangement of nucleic acid molecules in such a way as to preserve individual molecules phase or physical linkage information. This is variously accomplished by binding molecules independent of their phosphodiester backbones, cleaving the molecules, ligating, and sequencing the molecules through long-read sequencing technology to recover segment sequence information spanning at least more than one segment.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are compositions, systems and methods related to sequence assembly, such as nucleic acid sequence assembly of single reads and contigs into larger contigs and scaffolds through the use of read pair sequence information, such as read pair information indicative of nucleic acid sequence phase or physical linkage.
