Abstract: Provided herein are methods and compositions for preparing sequencing templates that provide uniform genome coverage and preserve spatial-proximal contiguity information.

Abstract: The present disclosure concerns a saw tooth holder for a cutting disk of a rotary cutting machine. The saw tooth holder comprises a holder body having a tooth-receiving surface abuttable against a rear surface of a saw tooth of a tooth assembly and a trailing surface, opposed to the tooth-receiving surface, and defining a trailing oblique angle with respect to the tooth-receiving surface. The holder body has a fastener-receiving aperture extending therethrough between the tooth-receiving surface and the trailing surface and being accessible from the tooth-receiving surface and the trailing surface. The present disclosure also concerns a cutting disk comprising such a saw tooth holder, a saw tooth holder in combination with a tooth assembly, and a rotary cutting machine comprising such a cutting disk.

Abstract: A saw tooth mountable to a circular saw disc and including a body defining rear and front ends. In operation, the front end leads the rear end as the saw disc turns. A cutting tip extends from the body and defines a cutting tip base adjacent to the body and an opposed cutting edge. The cutting tip base is rearwardly provided relative to the cutting edge. An elongated gullet extends along the cutting tip substantially adjacent to the cutting tip base and defines opposed gullet first and second ends and a gullet longitudinal axis therebetween. A gullet nadir line extends longitudinally between the gullet first and second ends and joins locations along the gullet that are closest to the rear end at all longitudinal positions along the gullet. The gullet nadir line is closer to the rear end at the gullet first end than at the gullet second end.

Abstract: A saw tooth including a body defining substantially opposed rear and front ends and an axial centerline extending between the rear and front ends, the body defining side faces joined to each other by body edge sections, each side face and each body edge section extending between the rear and front ends; edge cutting tips extending from the body at the front end and facing the direction of advance, each edge cutting tip being in prolongation of a respective one of the body edge sections; and side cutting tips extending from the body and facing the direction of advance, each of the side cutting tips being provided at the front end between two adjacent ones of the edge cutting tips in prolongation of a respective one of the side faces.
