Publication number: 20260117296Abstract: The invention generally relates to sequencing library preparation methods. In certain embodiments, two or more template nucleic acids are joined together by a linking molecule, such as a PEG derivative. Identical copies of a nucleic acid fragment or both strands of a duplex fragment may be linked together. The linked nucleic acids are amplified, creating linked amplicons. Emulsion PCR with linked primers creates linked template nucleic acids for seeding sequencing clusters and errors can be readily identified by their presence on only one of the linked fragments.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2025Publication date: April 30, 2026Inventors: Joel Pel, Andrea Marziali

Patent number: 12606861Abstract: The invention generally relates to capturing, amplifying, and sequencing nucleic acids. In certain embodiments, copies of the sense and antisense strands of a duplex template nucleic acid are captured using linked capture probes and multiple binding and extension steps to improve specificity over traditional single binding target capture techniques. Methods of seeding sequencing clusters with sense and antisense strands of a target nucleic acid are also disclosed including identifying the strands using sense-specific barcodes and confirming base calls using two sense-specific sequencing reads. Linked adapters may be used to increase adapter ligation selectively or efficiency and yield.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2023Date of Patent: April 21, 2026Assignee: NCAN GENOMICS, INC.Inventors: Andrea Marziali, Joel Pel

Publication number: 20260103763Abstract: The invention uses (i) proximity sequencing (Pro-Seq), in which a fragment is copied redundantly in a manner such that an error introduced during copying does not appear in all copies, and/or (ii) linked target capture (LTC), whereby a nucleic acid is amplified by primers that are linked to target-specific probes to discover and/or detect phased variants as biomarkers.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2025Publication date: April 16, 2026Inventor: Joel Pel
