  • Publication number: 20230183791
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods, antibodies and kits for detecting and/or quantifying expression of both non-nucleic acid molecules, such as proteins, and nucleic acid molecules in a single sample or single cell. The antibody is covalently conjugated to an oligonucleotide, such as a single-stranded DNA molecule, which comprises an identification tag and a blocking group, such as a ddNTP or an inverted dTTP, which prevents extension of the oligonucleotide by a polymerase. The method comprises the steps of reverse transcribing the conjugated oligonucleotide and the target nucleic acid simultaneously, amplifying both transcription production, and detecting the amplicons thereof. The method is also useful for detecting and/or quantifying the number of cells in a sample expressing a given non -nucleic acid molecule (e.g. protein).

  • Publication number: 20220112539
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods for enriching a target complementary DNA (cDNA), comprising: (a) providing a plurality of cDNAs, each comprising a first universal sequence at an end, and wherein the plurality of cDNAs comprises the target cDNA; (b) amplifying the target cDNA with a universal forward primer complementary to the first universal sequence and a gene specific reverse primer, and wherein a second universal sequence is added to an end of the cDNA opposite the first universal sequence, by a nucleic acid amplification reaction, by ligation, or by a primer extension reaction; and (c) amplifying the amplicons or extension products using the universal forward primer and a universal reverse primer complementary to the second universal sequence. In one embodiment, the universal forward primer, the gene specific reverse primer and the second universal reverse primer are provided in the same reaction mixture such that the amplifying is a single step.

  • Patent number: 10760123
    Abstract: The present invention provides improved methods, compositions and kits for short read next generation sequencing (NGS). The methods, compositions and kits of the present invention enable phasing of two or more nucleic acid sequences in a sample, i.e. determining whether the nucleic acid sequences (typically comprising regions of sequence variation) are located on the same chromosome and/or the same chromosomal fragment. Phasing information is obtained by performing multiple, successive sequencing reactions from the same immobilized nucleic acid template. The methods, compositions and kits provided herein are useful, for example, for haplotyping, SNP phasing, or for determining downstream exons in RNA-seq.

  • Publication number: 20190005193
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, compositions and kits for quantitating one or more specific nucleic acids within a plurality of nucleic acids. In some embodiments, a sequencing library is constructed from enriched probe extension products specific for the specific nucleic acids and sequenced. In some embodiments, the resulting reads are used for removing duplicate reads. In some embodiments, counting of verified probes is used to quantitate or determine the number of specific nucleic acid molecules in the starting nucleic acid sample.
