  • Methods of Nucleic acid amplification and sequencing
    Publication number: 20160319274
    Abstract: Methods for amplification and sequencing of at least one nucleic acid comprising the following steps: (1) forming at least one nucleic acid template comprising the nucleic acid(s) to be amplified or sequenced, wherein said nucleic acid(s) contains at the 5? end an oligonucleotide sequence Y and at the 3? end an oligonucleotide sequence Z and, in addition, the nucleic acid(s) carry at the 5? end a means for attaching the nucleic acid(s) to a solid support; (2) mixing said nucleic acid template(s) with one or more colony primers X, which can hybridize to the oligonucleotide sequence Z and carries at the 5? end a means for attaching the colony primers to a solid support, in the presence of a solid support so that the 5? ends of both the nucleic acid template and the colony primers bind to the solid support; (3) performing one or more nucleic acid amplification reactions on the bound template(s), so that nucleic acid colonies are generated and optionally, performing at least one step of sequence determination of
