Publication number: 20240084379Abstract: Polynucleotide sequencing methods include incubating unlabeled nucleotides with a cluster of template polynucleotide strands having the same sequence when the identity of the previously added labeled nucleotide is being detected. The detection step provides time for the addition of the unlabeled nucleotides to be incorporated into the copy strands in which the previously added labeled nucleotide did not get incorporated. Thus, at the end of the detection step, all or most of the copy strands will be in phase and ready to incorporate the appropriate labeled nucleotide in the subsequence incorporate step.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 9, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Applicant: ILLUMINA CAMBRIDGE LIMITEDInventors: Pietro Gatti-Lafranconi, Philip Balding

Publication number: 20230212667Abstract: Polynucleotide sequencing methods for sequencing one or more polynucleotide templates use primers bound to a surface as sequencing primers. The surface primers may include at least a portion of a surface oligonucleotide used during cluster formation. The sequencing methods may be used for single stranded sequencing or double stranded sequencing. Double stranded sequencing methods may employ an enzyme that has nick-translation activity. A kit includes all the reagents needed for sequencing does not include sequencing primers. The kit may be used to accomplish the sequencing methods of the present disclosure.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2022Publication date: July 6, 2023Applicants: ILLUMINA CAMBRIDGE LIMITED, ILLUMINA, INC.Inventors: Jonathan Mark Boutell, Eli M.

Publication number: 20200199666Abstract: Polynucleotide sequencing methods employ a sequencing oligonucleotide that hybridizes to a free 3? end potion of a template polynucleotide strand with greater affinity than a surface oligonucleotide. Such sequencing oligonucleotides may be used as a primer to determine the sequence of an index sequence by extending the sequencing oligonucleotide using the template strand as a template. Sequencing processes that employ such sequencing oligonucleotides provide a sufficiently intense signal to determine to the sequence of the index sequence.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2019Publication date: June 25, 2020Applicant: Illumina Cambridge LimitedInventors: Pietro Gatti-Lafranconi, Philip Balding, Jonathan Mark Boutell
