  • Systems and methods for universal tail-based indexing strategies for amplicon sequencing
    Patent number: 10550427
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention include a method of preparing a sample for sequencing that includes receiving a sample and amplifying at least one marker within the sample. In some embodiments, amplification of the first marker may include mixing the sample with a first oligonucleotide that comprises a first universal tail sequence and a second oligonucleotide that comprises a second universal tail sequence. In some aspects of the invention, the first universal tail sequence and the second universal tail sequence are different sequences.
