Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of nucleic acid extraction technology, specifically to a Super-long fragment DNA extraction kit and its applications. Background Technology
[0002] Third-generation sequencing (NGS) technology developed based on first- and second-generation sequencing technologies. Sanger sequencing technology pioneered sequencing applications in 1977, and next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology was commercialized in 2005, significantly increasing throughput and reducing costs, thus driving many sequencing-based applications. However, read length limitations still existed, restricting some applications. To address these read length limitations, third-generation sequencing technologies, represented by Helicos' Heliscope single-molecule sequencer, Pacific Biosciences' SMRT technology, and Oxford Nanopore Technologies' nanopore single-molecule technology, gradually emerged. In recent years, third-generation sequencing technology has achieved significant breakthroughs. In April 2022, using long-read sequencing technology, the first complete gapless T2T human reference genome was completed, solving challenges such as highly repetitive sequences (8% of the genome), centromeres, and telomeres in the Human Genome Project. Long-read sequencing technology was subsequently named the 2022 Technology of the Year by *Nature Methods*. Currently, this technology has been widely applied in fields such as genetic disease research, transcriptomics research, and microbiome research. It can achieve genome-wide SV detection, accurately depict transcript diversity, and improve the accuracy of microbial species classification. In the future, the cost of third-generation sequencing technology will further decrease, and its accuracy will further improve, leading to its application in even more fields.
[0003] Super-long DNA fragments (typically referring to complete DNA molecules ≥50kb in length, and even reaching hundreds ofkb to Mb) are irreplaceable in long-read sequencing-based applications because they preserve large-fragment structural information of the genome and reduce sequence splicing errors caused by breaks. Advances in their extraction techniques have directly driven research breakthroughs in multiple fields, finding wide applications in complex genome assembly, structural variation detection, and three-dimensional epigenetic studies.
[0004] Complex genomes, generally referring to genomes containing numerous repetitive sequences, polyploidy, and high heterozygosity, have long been constrained by the "splicing blind spots" (such as telomeres, centromeres, and repetitive sequence clusters) of short DNA fragments. Super-long DNA fragments can traverse these regions, significantly improving assembly continuity and integrity.
[0005] Structural variations (such as large insertions / deletions, inversions, translocations, duplications, etc., typically ≥50bp in length) are a major cause of genetic diseases, cancer, and other illnesses. However, short DNA fragments are difficult to cross the variation region, easily leading to missed detections or misdiagnoses. Super-long DNA fragments can directly cover the complete variation region, and combined with long-read sequencing technology, they enable highly sensitive and accurate detection of structural variations (SVs).
[0006] DNA epigenetic modifications (such as methylation and hydroxymethylation) and higher-order chromatin structures (such as topological association domains (TADs) and chromatin loops) exhibit long-distance correlations. Super-long DNA fragments can retain this "spatial information," providing support for epigenetic regulation research at the single-molecule level.
[0007] Super-long fragment DNA extraction is the core step in connecting samples with long-read analysis technology. Its applications cover multiple fields, from basic scientific research (genomics, evolutionary biology) to clinical diagnostics and industrial biotechnology. It directly promotes the leap from "fragmented analysis" to "complete genome level" in life science research and is a key supporting technology for achieving "precise interpretation of the code of life".
[0008] Existing commercial nucleic acid extraction kits are mainly designed for traditional next-generation sequencing, and have certain limitations in terms of fragment length, extraction purity, and applicable sample types, making it difficult to meet the diverse needs of long-length sequencing.
[0009] Traditional cultured cells and cryopreserved cells, due to their relatively simple tissue structures, generally use relatively uniform extraction methods. Fresh animal tissues and cryopreserved animal tissues, containing more extracellular matrix, are more difficult to extract than cell-type samples, and their extraction methods are specific and cannot be universally applied to cell types. Furthermore, plant tissues, especially polysaccharide and polyphenol plant samples, contain polysaccharide, polyphenol, and secondary metabolites, which drastically increase the difficulty of extraction. Currently, there is no effective solution for extracting ultra-long DNA fragments from polysaccharide and polyphenol samples.
[0010] Currently, there are some commercially available kits and extraction methods developed for long-length DNA applications. These methods are primarily suited for common cell and animal tissue samples, mainly relying on silica purification and anion exchange resins to reduce shearing forces on the DNA during extraction, thus obtaining longer DNA fragments. However, due to the high technical difficulty, only a small number of these methods are currently commercially available, and they are compatible with a limited range of sample types. They also require a high level of expertise from technicians and are easily affected by various factors, making it difficult to achieve the expected extraction results. Summary of the Invention

[0028] A third aspect of the invention is to provide the use of the lysis buffer described in the first aspect or the kit described in the second aspect in the preparation of super-long fragment DNA from lysed tissues.
[0029] Furthermore, the tissue is selected from cultured cells, cryopreserved cells, fresh animal tissue, cryopreserved animal tissue, crop tissue, polysaccharide and polyphenol plant samples, or silica gel dried plant samples.

[0158] Examples 2 and 3 performed the same extraction steps on the above samples, and analyzed the DNA concentration and purity of the extracted DNA. The DNA concentration and purity results of the extracted DNA from the same samples were not significantly different from those in Example 1. This indicates that Examples 1-3 can effectively extract and purify Super-long fragment DNA for different types of samples.
[0159] Comparative Examples 1-4 performed the same extraction steps on the samples above, and analyzed the DNA concentration and purity of the extracted DNA. The DNA concentration or purity results of the same samples differed significantly from those of Example 1. Specific differences in some samples are shown in Table 2.

[0163] It is clear from the comparative examples 1-4 above that when the buffer system lacks lithium chloride, spermine / spermine, and surfactant, the total amount, purity, and fragment length of the extracted DNA solution are all much lower than those obtained by the formal method, which cannot meet the requirements of downstream experiments.
[0164] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
