Construction of a genomic DNA library by TA cloning.

Targeted sequencing library preparation by genomic DNA circularization

BACKGROUND For next generation DNA sequencing, we have developed a rapid and simple approach for preparing DNA libraries of targeted DNA content. Current protocols for preparing DNA for next-generation targeted sequencing are labor-intensive, require large amounts of starting material, and are prone to artifacts that result from necessary PCR amplification of sequencing libraries. Typically, sa...

Desalting DNA by drop dialysis increases library size upon transformation.

It is often desirable to obtain gene libraries with the greatest possible number of variants. We tested two different methods for desalting the products of library ligation reactions (silica-based microcolumns and drop dialysis), and examined their effects on final library size. For both intramolecular and intermolecular ligation, desalting by drop dialysis yielded approximately 3-5 times more ...

Efficient high-throughput resequencing of genomic DNA.

Targeted resequencing of genomic DNA from organisms such as humans is an important tool enabling experimental access to variation within the species and between similar species. Taking full advantage of the reference genome sequences in designing robust, specific PCR assays and using stringent conditions, resequencing can be done efficiently without purification of the PCR product. By using a 1...
