  • Universal short adapters with variable length non-random unique molecular identifiers
    Patent number: 11898198
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments concern methods, systems and computer program products for determining sequences of interest using unique molecular indexes (UMIs) that are uniquely associable with individual polynucleotide fragments, including sequences with low allele frequencies or long sequence length. In some implementations, the UMIs include variable-length nonrandom UMIs (vNRUMIs). Methods and systems for making and using sequencing adapters comprising vNRUMIs are also provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 17, 2022
    Date of Patent: February 13, 2024
    Assignee: Illumina, Inc.
    Inventors: Chen Zhao, Kevin Wu, Han-Yu Chuang, Jennifer Lococo, Alex So, Dwight Baker, Tatjana Singer
