Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of library construction technology, specifically relating to DNA library construction kits and their applications. Background Technology
[0002] The clinical significance of high-throughput sequencing data is mainly reflected in two aspects: one is that it can directly serve as a diagnostic tool for the tested individuals, and the other is that, as part of big data, it accumulates data to help humanity understand previously unknown diseases. This part plays a supporting and reference role.
[0003] Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is the most commonly used technique in modern molecular biology high-throughput sequencing research. NGS DNA sequencing mainly involves two processes: library construction and sequencing. The library construction process typically includes: (1) fragmenting unfragmented genomic DNA with ultrasound or enzymatic fragmentation (this step can be omitted if using cell-free plasma DNA or other fragmented DNA); (2) repairing the DNA fragments by filling in the end gaps; (3) phosphorylating the 5' end of the repaired DNA fragments and adding a single base A (adenine) to the 3' end to obtain sticky ends with a single base; (4) ligating the DNA fragments with sticky A ends to adapters designed for different sequencing platforms (the adapters can be tagged with samples) to obtain ligation products; (5) if sequencing is performed on a targeted enriched region (such as whole exome sequencing or NGS panel sequencing), PCR is performed on the ligation products using universal primers for each sequencing platform on the adapters to obtain a sufficient amount of amplified DNA library (sample tags can also be introduced at this step); optionally, (6) enriching the target region of the amplified DNA library using probe capture or targeted primer methods to prepare sequencing libraries. Current DNA library construction methods still suffer from problems such as low library yield and / or low template conversion rate. Summary of the Invention
