Abstract: An example of a kit includes a flow cell and a genotyping probe fluid. The flow cell includes a substrate, and first and second capture primers attached to the substrate. The genotyping probe fluid includes a liquid carrier, and a genotyping oligonucleotide in the liquid carrier. The genotyping oligonucleotide includes a first primer sequence; a probe sequence that is representative of a target genotyping locus; a restriction endonuclease site; and a second primer sequence that is at least partially complementary to the second capture primer.

Abstract: The present invention is concerned with compositions and methods for improving the rate of correct sample identification in indexed nucleic acid library preparations for multiplex next generation sequencing by modifying or blocking 5? and 3? ends of pooled indexed polynucleotides from multiple samples, with an optional exonuclease treatment, prior to amplification and sequencing.

Abstract: The present invention is concerned with compositions and methods for improving the rate of correct sample identification in indexed nucleic acid library preparations for multiplex next generation sequencing by exonuclease treatment after protective adapters are ligated to target polynucleotides to degrade unincorporated adapters prior to amplification and sequencing.

Abstract: A phase-separation device and method of use is provided for separating immiscible liquids. The phase-separation device has a porous membrane with a filter surface having a non-planar contour that forms a receiving cavity to receive a liquid mixture. The filter surface is configured to impede flow of a polar liquid into the porous membrane and permit flow of a non-polar liquid into the porous membrane.

Abstract: The invention provides methods for pairwise sequencing of a double-stranded polynucleotide template, which methods result in the sequential determination of nucleotide sequences in two distinct and separate regions of the polynucleotide template.

Abstract: Method that includes providing a phase-separation device having a porous membrane with a filter surface. The filter surface has a non-planar contour that forms a receiving cavity. The method also includes providing a liquid mixture into the receiving cavity of the porous membrane. The liquid mixture includes a polar liquid and a non-polar liquid that are immiscible with respect to each other. The filter surface along the receiving cavity has a surface energy that impedes flow of the polar liquid through the filter surface and permit flow of the non-polar liquid into the porous membrane. The method also includes permitting the non-polar liquid to flow into the porous membrane. The polar liquid forms a droplet within the receiving cavity as the non-polar liquid flows into the porous membrane.
