Abstract: The present invention is a method and compositions for primer extension target enrichment of nucleic acids and improvements thereto including simultaneously enriching for RNA and DNA and optionally sequencing the enriched products.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for enrichment of at least one target nucleic acid in a library of nucleic acids. A first oligonucleotide is hybridized to a target nucleic acid in library of nucleic acids having first and second adapters. The hybridized first oligonucleotide is extended with a first polymerase, thereby producing a first primer extension complex including the target nucleic acid and the extended first oligonucleotide. The first primer extension complex is captured, enriched relative to the library of nucleic acids, and a second oligonucleotide is hybridized to the target nucleic acid. The hybridized second oligonucleotide is extended with a second polymerase, thereby producing a second primer extension complex including the target nucleic acid and the extended second oligonucleotide, and further liberating the extended first oligonucleotide from the first primer extension complex.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a kit and a method of linear amplification of a least one nucleic acid target in a sample, said method comprising: (a) contacting each target in the sample with a nucleic acid polymerase and a primer comprising a component preventing copying of the primer by the nucleic acid polymerase; and at least one nuclease blocking nucleotide; (b) generating a primer extension product; (c) preventing priming by the 3?-end of the primer extension product, and (d) repeating steps b) and c) at least once.

Abstract: The present invention is a method and compositions for primer extension target enrichment of nucleic acids and improvements thereto including simultaneously enriching for RNA and DNA and optionally sequencing the enriched products. An embodiment of the present invention includes a method comprising the steps of: hybridizing a target-specific primer to a target DNA or RNA, wherein the primer comprises a target-binding region and a region of complementarity to an adaptor; extending the primer with a DNA polymerase or reverse transcriptase to form a primer extension product; contacting the product with an adaptor comprising a longer strand with a 5?-overhang having complementarity to said primer and a shorter strand comprising a universal priming site; hybridizing the adaptor to the product; and ligating one strand of the adaptor to the product to form a ligation product.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to devices and methods for effecting epitachophoresis. Epitachophoresis may be used to effect sample analysis, such as by selective separation, detection, extraction, and/or pre-concentration of target analytes such as, for example, DNA, RNA, and/or other biological molecules. Said target analytes may be collected following epitachophoresis and used for desired downstream applications and further analysis.

Abstract: The invention comprises methods and compositions for enriching for a target nucleic acid with a single primer extension and low-bias limited amplification.

Abstract: The present invention provides novel methods for reducing the complexity of preferably a genomic sample for further analysis such as direct DNA sequencing, resequencing or SNP calling. The methods use pre-selected immobilized oligonucleotide probes to capture target nucleic acid molecules from a sample containing denatured, fragmented (genomic) nucleic acids for reducing the genetic complexity of the original population of nucleic acid molecules.
