  • COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR CONSTRUCTING STRAND SPECIFIC cDNA LIBRARIES
    Publication number: 20220389416
    Abstract: Provided herein are compositions, kits and methods for the production of strand-specific cDNA libraries. The compositions, kits and methods utilize properties of double stranded polynucleotides, such as RNA-cDNA duplexes to capture and incorporate a novel sequencing adapter. The methods are useful transcriptome profiling by massive parallel sequence, such as full-length RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) and 3? tag digital gene expression (DGE).
    Type: Application
    Filed: February 9, 2022
    Publication date: December 8, 2022
    Inventors: Brad TOWNSLEY, Michael F. COVINGTON, Neelima SINHA
