  • Publication number: 20150087534
    Abstract: Provided herein is a method of using transposition to improve methods of sequencing RNA molecules. Provided herein is a method of tagging nucleic acid duplexes, such as DNA:RNA duplexes or DNA:DNA duplexes. The method includes the steps of providing a transposase and a transposon composition, providing one or more nucleic acid duplexes immobilized on a support, and contacting the transposase and transposon composition with the one or more nucleic acid duplexes under conditions wherein the one or more nucleic acid duplexes and transposon composition undergo a transposition reaction to produce one or more tagged nucleic acid duplexes, wherein the transposon composition comprises a double stranded nucleic acid molecule comprising a transferred strand and a non-transferred strand.

  • Publication number: 20140329698
    Abstract: The invention relates to methods for indexing samples during the sequencing of polynucleotide templates, resulting in the attachment of tags specific to the source of each nucleic acid sample such that after a sequencing run, both the source and sequence of each polynucleotide can be determined. Thus, the present invention pertains to analysis of complex genomes (e.g., human genomes), as well as multiplexing less complex genomes, such as those of bacteria, viruses, mitochondria, and the like.
