  • Patent number: 10981137
    Abstract: Provided herein is a method for capturing DNA molecules in solution. The method may comprise: extracting DNA from a sample that comprises endogenous DNA and environmental DNA to produce extracted DNA; ligating universal adaptors to the extracted DNA; hybridizing the extracted DNA, in solution, with affinity-tagged RNA probes generated by: in vitro transcribing a library of fragmented reference genomic DNA that has been ligated to an RNA promoter adaptor, in the presence of an affinity-tagged ribonucleotide; binding the product with a capture agent that is tethered to a substrate in the presence of RNA oligonucleotides that are complementary to the adaptors, thereby capturing the hybridized DNA molecules on the substrate; washing the substrate to remove any unbound DNA molecules; and releasing the captured DNA molecules. A kit for performing the method is also provided.

    Abstract: Certain embodiments provide a method for capturing a genomic fragment. The method may comprise: obtaining a substrate comprising a first population of surface-bound oligonucleotides and a second population of surface-bound oligonucleotides; hybridizing a first member of the first population of surface-bound oligonucleotides to a selection oligonucleotide comprising a region that hybridizes with the first member and a region that contains a genomic sequence; extending the first member of the first population of surface-bound oligonucleotides to produce a support-bound selection primer that comprises a sequence that is complementary to the genomic sequence; hybridizing the support-bound selection primer to a nucleic acid fragment comprising the genomic sequence; extending the support-bound selection primer to produce an extension product that contains a sequence that flanks the genomic sequence, e.g., in a genome; and amplifying the extension product on the substrate.
