Technology
A technique designed to rapidly enrich and amplify targets derived from samples that yield low levels of nucleic acids, such as formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues, for use in next-generation sequencing. Briefly, total nucleic acid or genomic DNA (gDNA) is isolated from fresh or FFPE tissues. Total nucleic acid is converted to double-stranded cDNA (dscDNA) and cleaned by solid-phase reversible immobilization (SPRI). Then the dscDNA or gDNA is subjected to end repair, adenylation and ligation with a universal half-functional adapter. The modified DNA sample is then subjected to two rounds of nested low-cycle PCR, where the first round uses target gene-specific primers and the second round uses nested target gene-specific primers that are 5' tagged with a common sequencing adapter. The resulting target amplicon library is cleaned using SPRI and is suitable for use in next generation genomic assays.
