  • Patent number: 12146186
    Abstract: The disclosed Hi-C protocol can identify genomic loci that are spatially co-located in vivo. These spatial co-locations may include, but are not limited to, intrachromosomal interactions and/or interchromosomal interactions. Hi-C techniques may be applied to many different scales of interest. For example, on a large scale, Hi-C techniques can be used to identify long-range interactions between distant genomic loci.

  • Publication number: 20140228223
    Abstract: The present invention is related to genomic nucleotide sequencing. In particular, the invention describes a paired end sequencing method that improves the yield of long-distance genomic read pairs by constructing long-insert clone libraries (i.e., for example, a fosIll library or a fosCN library) and converting the long-insert clone library using inverse polymerase chain reaction amplification or shearing and recircularization of shortened fragments into a library of co-ligated clone-insert ends. The resultant jumping libraries are compatible with massively parallel sequencing techniques. The compositions and methods disclosed herein contemplate sequencing complex genomes as well as detecting chromosomal structural rearrangements.
