  • Publication number: 20260167953
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the methods and compositions provided herein relate to obtaining long read information from short reads of a target nucleic acid. Some embodiments include steps to selectively generate, mark, and amplify long nucleic acid fragments. Some embodiments include enriching for certain sequences in the long fragments with selection probes directed to certain pharmacogenetic (PGX) genes. Some embodiments also include fragmenting the long nucleic acid fragments into shorter fragments for sequencing, and informatically reconstructing a sequence of the target nucleic acid.

  • Publication number: 20250215492
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the methods and compositions provided herein relate to obtaining long read information from short reads of a target nucleic acid. Some embodiments include steps to selectively generate, mark, and amplify long nucleic acid fragments. Some embodiments include enriching for certain sequences in the long fragments with selection probes directed to certain genes throughout the genome and expressed regions with low mappability. Some embodiments also include fragmenting the long nucleic acid fragments into shorter fragments for sequencing, and informatically reconstructing a sequence of the target nucleic acid.

  • Publication number: 20100331204
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods and systems for targeted nucleic acid sequence enrichment in a sample. In particular, the present invention provides for enriching for targeted nucleic acid sequences during hybridizations in hybridization assays by first depleting non-target nucleic acid sequences.
