Abstract: The invention encompasses recombinant polynucleotides, compositions and methods for interfering with antibiotic resistance genes, and/or replicons carrying such genes, in microorganisms in order to disable antibiotic resistance in the microorganisms, using a clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR) array system.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention include methods and compositions for determining the number of individual polynucleotide molecules originating from the same genomic region of the same original sample that have been sequenced in a particular sequence analysis configuration or process. In these aspects of the invention, a degenerate base region (DBR) is attached to the starting polynucleotide molecules that are subsequently sequenced (e.g., after certain process steps are performed, e.g., amplification and/or enrichment). The number of different DBR sequences present in a sequencing run can be used to determine/estimate the number of different starting polynucleotides that have been sequenced. DBRs can be used to enhance numerous different nucleic acid sequence analysis applications, including allowing higher confidence allele call determinations in genotyping applications.
