  • Patent number: 10246702
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods and compositions for labeling target nucleic acid molecules with molecular barcodes.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 23, 2016
    Date of Patent: April 2, 2019
    Assignee: New England Biolabs, Inc.
    Inventors: Cynthia L. Richard, Brendan Galvin
  • Patent number: 9708658
    Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for enriching for target sequences from a population of nucleic acids, that includes combining in solution, a population of nucleic acids and a target isolation probe wherein the target isolation probe includes an affinity binding domain; permitting a single stranded region of the target isolation probe to hybridize to all or a portion of a target sequence in the population of nucleic acids; selectively immobilizing the hybridized nucleic acids from the population containing the target sequences by associating the target isolation probe with a capture domain and removing unbound material; and removing from the 3? end of the target sequence, a non-target sequence by means of one or more 3? single strand specific exonucleases. Target enrichment may be used to detect variations in nucleotide sequence for detecting phenotypic changes related to health or disease.

  • Patent number: 9567632
    Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for enriching for target sequences from a population of nucleic acids, that includes combining in solution, a population of nucleic acids and a target isolation probe wherein the target isolation probe includes an affinity binding domain; permitting a single stranded region of the target isolation probe to hybridize to all or a portion of a target sequence in the population of nucleic acids; selectively immobilizing the hybridized nucleic acids from the population containing the target sequences by associating the target isolation probe with a capture domain and removing unbound material; and removing from the 3? end of the target sequence, a non-target sequence by means of one or more 3? single strand specific exonucleases. Target enrichment may be used to detect variations in nucleotide sequence for detecting phenotypic changes related to health or disease.

  • Patent number: 9315807
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and a kit for selecting and enriching target sequences specific for one or more genomic regions of interest or a subset of a transcriptome using a target-capturing library of probes. The target-enriched library is generated from a random pool of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) fragments. The present disclosure provides an efficient and cost-effective method of target selection for targeted genome sequencing, targeted nucleic acid library creation and gene expression studies.
