  • Publication number: 20240002904
    Abstract: The current invention pertains to a method for sequencing of a target nucleic acid fragment from a nucleic acid sample, comprising the steps of cleaving the nucleic acid sample with a first and a second RNA guided or DNA guided endonuclease complex, preferably a first and a second gRNA-CAS complex, thereby generating the target nucleic acid fragment and at least one non-target nucleic acid fragment. The generated fragments are subsequently contacted with an exonuclease, wherein the exonuclease digests only the non-target nucleic acid fragments. Subsequently said target nucleic acid fragment is sequenced using nanopore selective sequencing. The invention further pertains to the use of the enriched target nucleic acid fragments for nanopore selective sequencing the target nucleic acid fragment.

  • Publication number: 20160083788
    Abstract: The method of the present invention now provides a technique for generating sequence information from nucleic acid samples based on knowledge from part(s) of the nucleotide sequence. The knowledge of the partial sequence may include knowledge about the presence of restriction sites. The knowledge of the partial sequence can be used to generate adaptor-ligated or nucleotide-elongated fragments. From the combination of information on the ligated adaptor and the Known Nucleotide Sequence Section, probes can be designed. The probes can be used in the provision of circularized fragments that can be sequenced. Combining the known and determined sequences adds sequence information to the already existing sequence information and complements the available genomic sequence information.
