  • Patent number: 10364464
    Abstract: The present invention is related to genomic nucleotide sequencing. In particular, the invention describes a single reaction method to co-amplify multiple subsequences of a nucleic acid fragment sequence (i.e., for example, at least two read pairs from a single library insert sequence). Nucleic acid fragment sequences may include, but are not limited to, localizing library insert sequences and/or unique read pair sequences in specific orientations on a single emulsion polymerase chain reaction bead. Methods may include, but are not limited to, annealing, melting, digesting, and/or reannealing high throughput sequencing primers to high throughput sequencing primer binding sites. The compositions and methods disclosed herein contemplate sequencing complex genomes, amplified genomic regions, as well as detecting chromosomal structural rearrangements that are compatible with massively parallel high throughput sequencing platforms as well as ion semiconductor matching sequencing platforms (i.e.

  • Patent number: 9738930
    Abstract: The present invention is related to genomic nucleotide sequencing. In particular, the invention describes a paired end sequencing method that enables the sequencing of unique read pairs by co-localizing both 5? ends on a single emulsion polymerase chain reaction bead. The method may use a customized forked adaptor primer pair that is compatible with massively parallel sequencing techniques. The compositions and methods disclosed herein contemplate sequencing complex genomes, amplified genomic regions, as well as detecting chromosomal structural rearrangements.
