Publication number: 20240110222Abstract: Provided herein are compositions and methods for the multiplexed profiling of RNA and DNA modifications across transcriptomes and genomes, respectively. The methods combine molecular recognition of non-canonical features (e.g., base modifications, backbone modifications, lesions, and/or structural elements) of a target nucleic acid with a step of writing the information from this recognition event into the neighboring genetic sequence of the target nucleic acid using a barcode. The resultant barcoded nucleic acids are then converted into sequencing libraries and read by DNA/RNA sequencing methods. This step reveals the sequence of the barcode, which is correlated with the non-canonical feature in the target nucleic acid(s). The high throughput profiling methods described herein allow for localization of one or more modifications in a target nucleic acid. The methods also allow for identification of the nature and location of several or all DNA/RNA modifications in parallel.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Applicant: Alida Biosciences Inc.Inventors: Gudrun Stengel, Byron Purse, Yu-Hsien Hwang-Fu, Jerome Santos

Patent number: 11891651Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions and methods that employ the compositions for conducting pairwise sequencing and for generating concatemer template molecules for pairwise sequencing. The concatemers can be generated using a rolling circle amplification reaction which is conducted either on-support, or conducted in-solution and then distributed onto a support. The rolling circle amplification reaction generates concatemers containing tandem copies of a sequence of interest and at least one universal adaptor sequence. An increase in the number of tandem copies in a given concatemer increases the number of sites along the concatemer for hybridizing to multiple sequencing primers which serve as multiple initiation sites for polymerase-catalyzed sequencing reactions. When the sequencing reaction employs detectably labeled nucleotides and/or detectably labeled multivalent molecules (e.g.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2021Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: Element Biosciences, Inc.Inventors: Sinan Arslan, Junhua Zhao, Molly He, Samantha Snow, William Light, Matthew Kellinger, Michael Previte, Michael Kim, Hua Yu, Yu-Hsien Hwang-Fu, Marco Tjioe, Andrew Boddicker
