Abstract: This disclosure provides systems and methods for sample processing and data analysis. Sample processing may include nucleic acid sample processing and subsequent sequencing. Some or all of a nucleic acid sample may be sequenced to provide sequence information, which may be stored or otherwise maintained in an electronic storage location. The sequence information may be analyzed with the aid of a computer processor, and the analyzed sequence information may be stored in an electronic storage location that may include a pool or collection of sequence information and analyzed sequence information generated from the nucleic acid sample. Methods and systems of the present disclosure can be used, for example, for the analysis of a nucleic acid sample, for producing one or more libraries, and for producing biomedical reports. Methods and systems of the disclosure can aid in the diagnosis, monitoring, treatment, and prevention of one or more diseases and conditions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing a library of template polynucleotides and use thereof in methods of solid-phase nucleic acid amplification. More specifically, the invention relates to a method for preparing a library of template polynucleotides that have common sequences at their 5? ends and at their 3? ends.

Abstract: A method of identifying and quantifying small RNA molecules comprising a) isolating RNA molecules; b) ligating RNA adapter molecules onto the isolated RNA molecules to form RNA template molecules; c) forming complementary DNA molecules by transcribing the RNA template molecules; d) amplifying the complementary DNA molecules; e) obtaining sequence information of the complementary DNA molecules (and thereby the RNA from which it was derived); and f) obtaining quantity information of the complementary DNA molecules, wherein the quantity information of the DNA molecules reflects the quantity of the isolated RNA molecules is provided. Included in the invention is the identification of RNA molecules between 15 and 30 nucleotides in length.

Abstract: The invention provides methods, kits and materials for determinining simultaneously signature sequences of a population of tagged polynucleotides. Size ladders of polynucleotide fragments are generated from the population of tagged polynucleotides that contain a plurality of size classes. After the size classes are separated, tags of the separated fragment are copied and labeled according to the identity of one or more bases at the ends of the fragments. In a preferred embodiment, the labeled tags are then specifically hybridized to plurality of identical microarrays of tag complements such that the tags from different size classes are hybridized to separate microarrays. Signature sequences are determined by signals generated at hybridization sites having the same address on each of the plurality of microarrays.

Abstract: Methods for detecting the presence of foreign DNA in the DNA of a host organism are described. Probe libraries prepared from modified DNA, and from unmodified DNA, are competitively hybridized with reference DNA sequences cloned on solid phase supports, where the reference DNA sequences are characteristic of the foreign DNA. Probes containing the foreign DNA can thereby by isolated and/or identified.

Abstract: The present invention relates to protein-protein interactions of adipocytes, e.g., complexes of such polypeptides, polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides and complexes thereof, fragments of the polypeptides, antibodies to the complexes, Selected Interacting Domains (SID) which are identified due to the protein-protein interactions, methods for screening drugs for agents which modulate the interaction of proteins and pharmaceutical compositions that modulate the protein-protein interactions.
