  • Publication number: 20240132949
    Abstract: Disclosed is a set of adhesive adapters containing sample barcodes for specifically tagging different samples. Further disclosed is a method for simultaneously detecting CpG methylation in a high number of samples, which is multi-sample reduced-representation bisulfite sequencing (msRRBS); and an alternative method thereof, which is multi-sample reduced-representation APOBEC sequencing (msRRAS). The adapters are used to specifically tag the plurality of samples, including all DNA fragments of the plurality of samples; then the plurality of samples are pooled to allow a single-tube reaction of the plurality of samples; and then the subsequent conversion, sequencing library construction and sequencing, distribution and decoding of readings of each sample, and downstream analysis are conducted. The library construction technology of the present application has advantages such as high efficiency, low cost, and stable and convenient operations.

  • Publication number: 20230104375
    Abstract: The invention discloses a primer set and a multiplexable library building scheme for constructing an RNA sequencing library with a related reagent kit and an application thereof. The invention also discloses a corresponding data analysis method and a related instrument. The primer set used for RNA sequencing library construction includes the reverse transcription primers containing poly-dT, the 2nd strand cDNA primers particularly contain a random or semi-random portion at their 3? end for universal initiation of the synthesis at multiple sites, or sequence capturing the 1st strand of a specific cDNA, as well as their corresponding PCR primer 1 and 2. By this method, the library construction process is simple and the operation is convenient; the time of building the database was significantly shortened; it can carry out a large number of samples in a single run; the analysis process is simpler; the cost of database building, sequencing and analysis is significantly reduced.
