  • Publication number: 20230279469
    Abstract: An example of a flow cell includes a substrate having depressions separated by interstitial regions. First and second primers are immobilized within the depressions. First transposome complexes are immobilized within the depressions, and the first transposome complexes include a first amplification domain. Second transposome complexes are also immobilized within the depressions, and the second transposome complexes include a second amplification domain. Some of the first transposome complexes, or some of the second transposome complexes, or some of both of the first and second transposome complexes include a modification to reduce tagmentation efficiency.

  • Publication number: 20230105642
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to the preparation of nucleic acid libraries. Some embodiments relate to the preparation of normalized nucleic acid libraries, such as libraries in which the amounts of amplified nucleic acids are substantially the same for different amounts of input nucleic acids. Some embodiments relate to preparation of indexed nucleic acid libraries with certain adaptors.

  • Publication number: 20050181394
    Abstract: This invention provides methods of amplifying genomic DNA to obtain an amplified representative population of genome fragments. Methods are further provided for obtaining amplified genomic DNA representations of a desired complexity. The invention further provides methods for simultaneously detecting large numbers of typable loci for an amplified representative population of genome fragments. Accordingly the methods can be used to genotype individuals on a genome-wide scale.
