  • METHOD FOR TARGETED SEQUENCING
    Publication number: 20150284789
    Abstract: The method of the present invention now provides a technique for generating sequence information from nucleic acid samples based on knowledge from part(s) of the nucleotide sequence. The knowledge of the partial sequence may include knowledge about the presence of restriction sites. The knowledge of the partial sequence can be used to generate adaptor ligated or nucleotide-elongated fragments. From the combination of information on the ligated adaptor and the Known Nucleotide Sequence Section, probes can be designed. The probes can be used in the provision of circularised fragments that can be sequenced. Combining the known and determined sequences adds sequence information to the already existing sequence information and complements the available genomic sequence information.
