[0017] A detailed description follows below. The current protocol for sequencing a nucleic acid sample is: Routinely employ sample preparation processes that convert DNA or RNA templates into libraries. These methods can result in loss of DNA sample and often However, fragmentation requires expensive equipment. Additionally, sample preparation methods are often difficult, tedious, and inefficient.

[0018] In the manufacturing method of the standard sample, each template (each mold) has an insert (insert) It contains adapters at either end, and the number of steps modifies both the DNA and RNA. It is often necessary to perform a purification step to obtain the desired product of the modification reaction. These steps are performed to determine the amount of ATP in solution prior to the addition of the fragments to the flow cell. They are carried out by adding a hy- drolyzed cellulose to the end of a primer that is covalently attached to the surface. The hybridized fragments are coupled to the surface by a primer extension reaction that copies the fragments. These "seed" templates then undergo several cycles of amplification. This results in monoclonal clusters of templates that are copied through

[0019] Adapter DNA in solution ready for cluster generation and sequencing The number of steps required to convert the template to be modified with α-transposase This can be minimized by using mediated fragmentation and tagging. The process is referred to herein as "tagging" and often involves the use of transposon end sequences. Transpososome complexes containing the transposase enzyme complexed with the adaptor containing the sequence. Tagging involves the simultaneous fragmentation of DNA and the separation of double-stranded fragments. This results in the ligation of adapters to the 5' ends of both strands. Following a purification step to remove the transposase enzyme, additional sequences are extracted by PCR. Append to the end of the adaptation fragment.

[0020] Solution-based tagmentation has drawbacks and requires several labor-intensive steps. In addition, bias can be introduced during the PCR amplification step. The methods and compositions presented overcome these drawbacks and facilitate sample manipulation or transfer. Unbiased sample preparation to occur on a single solid support with minimal requirements for , allowing clustering and sequencing.

[0021] The present disclosure provides transposomes precoupled to the surface of a flow cell. The complex effectively fragments, tags, and immobilizes intact DNA within the flow cell. In certain embodiments, the present invention relates to the surprising discovery that transposons can be used to One or more of the strands containing the adapters have their 5' ends The intact DNA is attached to the surface of the flow cell via a ion exchange membrane. When the nucleotide sequence is 0.01, the tagmentation reaction occurs similarly to how it occurs in solution-based tagmentation reactions. However, the resulting product fragments are physically attached by their ends to the surface of the flow cell. The transposome adapter sequences allow for subsequent cluster generation and sequencing. It can contain an array that

[0022] The methods and compositions presented herein have several advantages over solution-based tagmentation methods. For example, purified, partially purified, or unpurified intact DNA templates can be used. The sample is loaded directly onto the flow cell to generate clusters without prior sample preparation. It is also possible to read the contiguity of the sequence information in the original intact DNA. Connectivity is physically preserved by juxtaposing tagged fragments on the surface of the flow cell. As an added benefit, DNA can be physically linked to the surface of the flow cell, allowing for Such purification of the reagents after further manipulation of the NA is achieved by flow-through in the channels of the flow cell. - This can be achieved by buffer exchange.

[0039] Figures 1a and 1b generally illustrate a method according to one embodiment. Solid supports coated with oligonucleotides are shown, some of which contain ME sequences. The active transposons contain a sequence that, in the presence of Tn5, physically couples to a solid support. The density of these surfaces bound to the transposome is higher than that of the ME sequence. By varying the concentration of grafted oligonucleotides, including This can be adjusted by the amount of transposase added to the support. For example, in some embodiments, the transposome complex comprises mm 2 At least 10 per 3 , 10 4 , 10 5 , or at least 10 6 The complex is present on the solid support at a density of 0.1 μg / ml.

[0040] When double-stranded DNA is added to the solid support, the transposome complex binds to the added DNA. The NA is tagmented and thus coupled to the surface at both ends. In some embodiments, the length of the bridged fragment is determined by the surface area of ​​the fragment. This can be varied by changing the density of the transposome complex. In embodiments, the resulting bridged fragments are 100 base pairs, 200 base pairs, 30 0 base pairs, 400 base pairs, 500 base pairs, 600 base pairs, 700 base pairs, 800 base pairs, 900 base pairs, 1000 base pairs, 1100 base pairs, 1200 base pairs, 1300 base pairs, 1400 base pairs, 1500 base pairs, 1600 base pairs, 1700 base pairs, 1800 base pairs, 1900 base pairs, 2000 base pairs, 2100 base pairs, 2200 base pairs, 2300 bases pairs, 2400 base pairs, 2500 base pairs, 2600 base pairs, 2700 base pairs, 2800 base pairs, 2900 base pairs, 3000 base pairs, 3100 base pairs, 3200 base pairs, 3300 base pairs, 3400 base pairs, 3500 base pairs, 3600 base pairs, 3700 base pairs, 3800 base pairs, 3900 base pairs, 4000 base pairs, 4100 base pairs, 4200 base pairs, 4300 bases pairs, 4400 base pairs, 4500 base pairs, 4600 base pairs, 4700 base pairs, 4800 base pairs, 4900 base pairs, 5000 base pairs, 10,000 base pairs, fewer than 30,000 base pairs, or fewer than 100,000 base pairs.

[0041] In some embodiments, the length of the template is preferably determined by the standard clustering method. For example, in some embodiments, The template lengths are 100 base pairs, 200 base pairs, 300 base pairs, 400 base pairs, and 500 base pairs. , 600 base pairs, 700 base pairs, 800 base pairs, 900 base pairs, 1000 base pairs, 1100 base pairs, 1200 base pairs , 1300 bp, 1400 bp, 1500 bp, 1600 bp, 1700 bp, 1800 bp, 1900 bp base pairs, 2000 base pairs, 2100 base pairs, 2200 base pairs, 2300 base pairs, 2400 base pairs, 2500 base pairs, 26 00 base pairs, 2700 base pairs, 2800 base pairs, 2900 base pairs, 3000 base pairs, 3100 base pairs, 3200 base pairs , 3300 base pairs, 3400 base pairs, 3500 base pairs, 3600 base pairs, 3700 base pairs, 3800 base pairs, 3900 base pairs base pairs, 4000 base pairs, 4100 base pairs, 4200 base pairs, 4300 base pairs, 4400 base pairs, 4500 base pairs, 46 00 base pairs, 4700 base pairs, 4800 base pairs, 4900 base pairs, 5000 base pairs, 10000 base pairs, 30000 base pairs In such an embodiment, the first The second tagmentation reaction involves further fragmenting the bridge, as shown, for example, in Figure 4a. The second tagmentation reaction can be performed by adding transposomes from In this way, the internal span of the bridge can be eliminated and further sequencing steps can be performed. Anchor anchors to the surface that can be transformed into clusters ready for grafting. In certain embodiments, the length of the template is is within a range defined by upper and lower limits selected from those exemplified above. It is possible.

[0042] In certain embodiments, DNA is immobilized by surface tagmentation prior to cluster generation. A can be imaged. For example, immobilized DNA can be intercalated. The DNA molecules on the surface were stained with an interchelating dye and then Clusters can be imaged to keep a record of the positions of the clusters. After generation and sequencing, the coordinates of the clusters are determined by their positions on the original backbone. and thus along the molecular and genome assembly. Alignment of reads is supported.

[0043] In some embodiments, the step of applying target DNA includes applying a biological sample to the solid support. The biological sample may be any type of sample containing DNA. and can be deposited on a solid surface for tagmentation. For example, samples may contain DNA in various states of purification, including purified DNA. However, the sample does not need to be completely purified and can be, for example, DNA mixed with proteins, other nucleic acid species, other cellular components and / or any other contaminants In some embodiments, as shown in Example 2 below, biological The sample may contain DNA, proteins, other nucleic acid species, other cellular components and / or other components found in vivo. This includes mixtures of other contaminants present in approximately the same proportions as those produced. In some embodiments, the components are found in the same ratio as they are in intact cells. In some embodiments, the biological sample contains 2.0, 1.9, 1.8, 1.7, 1.6, 1.5, 1.4, 1.3, Have a 260 / 280 ratio less than 1.2, 1.1, 1.0, 0.9, 0.8, 0.7, or less than 0.60 In some embodiments, the biological sample has a pH of at least 2.0, 1.9, 1.8, 1.7, 1. 260 / 280 ratio of 6, 1.5, 1.4, 1.3, 1.2, 1.1, 1.0, 0.9, 0.8, 0.7, or at least 0.60 The methods provided herein allow DNA to be bound to a solid support. After surface-bound tagmentation has occurred, other contaminants can be removed by washing the solid support. The biological sample can be, for example, a crude cell lysate or whole cells. For example, crude cell lysate applied to a solid support by the methods described herein can be used. Lysates are prepared by one or more of the separation steps traditionally used to isolate nucleic acids from other cellular components. Exemplary separation steps are described in Maniatis et al. Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, 2nd Edition, 1989, and Short Protocols in Molecular Biology and the associated IEEE Protocols for the Promotion of Radioisotopes (PAPR), edited by Ausubel et al., which are incorporated herein by reference. Sink in.

[0044] Thus, in some embodiments, the biological sample may include, for example, blood, Sputum, serum, lymph, mucus, sputum, urine, semen, cerebrospinal fluid, bronchial aspirate, excrement (feces), and macerated tissue, or their lysates, or any DNA-containing Other biological specimens may be included. The biological sample is then passed through the flow cell and thereafter of the methods and compositions presented herein, which can be added to the lysis and purification steps of One advantage is that all of this can be achieved by simply flowing the necessary reagents through the flow cell. This occurs in the flow cell without any transfer or processing steps. Examples 1 and 2 below demonstrate this. The methods and compositions provided herein demonstrate successful application of crude cell lysates.

[0045] Figures 2a and 2b further illustrate a tagmentation reaction according to one embodiment. Thus, the transposome contains a dimer of Tn5, where each monomer binds a double-stranded molecule. That is, it contains an ME adaptor. One strand of the ME adaptor is covalently bonded to the The transposome binds the target DNA and then transfers it to the DNA backbone. In this case, two nicks are generated 9 bases apart on either strand. Although the figure shows a 9 base pair gap between the transposon and the nucleotide sequence, in other embodiments, The cleavage membrane can generate gaps of 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 base pairs between the nicks. Only one of the two strands of each ME adapter is the 5' strand at each nick position. This strand, the "transfer strand," is ligated via its 5' end to the The resulting bridges are grafted onto the surface. To clarify the nature of the geometry, it is redrawn in Figure 2b.

[0046] Figures 3a and 3b show an example of the invention in practice. Two forms of transposomes are shown in Figure 3a. The first form contains the P7 transposome, which assembles on the surface of the cell. In this study, the “transfer strand” of the ME adapter contains an amplification domain (P7) and a sequencing platform. The extended oligonucleotides link the transposome to the surface containing the nucleotides (S2). The second form includes the P5 transposome, in which The "transfer strand" of the ME adapter is the amplification domain (P5) and the sequencing primer. The transposome contains an extended oligonucleotide sequence that links the transposome to a surface containing β-transposome (S1). Addition of DNA to the flow cell results in tagmentation and binding of the DNA to the transposome. Three types of bridges result: P5-P5, P7-P7 and P5-P7. After cluster formation and linearization (Fig. 3b), either the P5-P5 or P7-P7 clusters were eliminated. As shown in Figure 3b, if linearization occurs through P5, then Only the P5-P7 and P7-P7 bridges remain. The P7-P7 cluster is linearized by this reaction. The P7-P7 cluster was then prepared for sequencing. Lead 2 is removed during linearization.

[0047] The methods described herein further include providing a transposome complex in solution; and target DNA is fragmented by the transposome complex solution in the liquid phase (solution the additional step of contacting the (liquid-phase) transposome complex with the immobilized fragment. whereby immobilized nucleic acid fragments having one end can be obtained in solution. In some embodiments, the transposome complexes in solution can be obtained by: The method may further comprise generating immobilized nucleic acid fragments having second tags, the second tags in solution. The first and second tags may be different or the same. It is possible.

[0048] In some embodiments, one form of surface-bound transposome is primarily a solid For example, in some embodiments, at least 50%, 55%, 60% , 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or at least 99% % of the tags present on the solid support comprise the same tag domain. After the initial tagmentation reaction with surface-bound transposomes, at least 50%, 55%, and 60% , 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or at least 99% % of the bridge structures contain the same tag domain at each end of the bridge. Perform further fragmentation of the bridge by adding transposomes from the solution. In some embodiments, most or all of the fluid-phase transposomes All of these are tag domains that are different from the tag domains present on the bridge structure generated in the first tagmentation reaction. For example, in some embodiments, at least 50%, 55%, 60%, %, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or at least The tag present in 99% of the liquid-phase transposomes is the tag generated in the first tagging reaction. It contains a tag domain that is different from the tag domain present on the ridge structure.

[0049] Figures 4a and 4b illustrate this embodiment. The solid support shown in Figure 4a contains a tag sequence (e.g., The transposomes contained only a single type of surface-bound transposome (P5 transposome). In this example, all tagmentation bridges are P5-P5 bridges. The P7 transposome is A bridge is added from solution and creates a template for all surface-bound molecules P5-P7. The surface-bound fragments can then be converted into clusters (e.g., (See Figure 4b for example.) Also, pairs of clusters are adjacent in the original intact DNA sample. Two fragments representing the respective transpososome ends would result (Fig. 4b).

Specifically, the ion exchange rate between any two given surfaces on a solid surface provides useful information for the purpose of The distance between the clusters is the distance between the two clusters from the same target polynucleotide molecule. A positive correlation was found between the probability of the object being a target and the probability of the object being a target, which is explained in more detail in WO 2012 / 025250.

[0055] In some embodiments, the immobilized double-stranded fragments are cleaved to release free ends (see Figure 4a). To achieve this, the bridge structure is further fragmented prior to cluster formation (Fig. 4b). This technique is well known, as exemplified by the incorporated material in WO 2012 / 025250.

[0056] In certain embodiments, the plurality of target DNA molecules is placed on a flow cell comprising a plurality of nanochannels. The nanochannels have transposome complexes immobilized in them. As used in, the term nanochannel refers to a narrow channel through which long linear DNA molecules are flowed. In some embodiments, only 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 , 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 70, 80, 90, 100, 200, 300, No more than 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, or 1000 targets (at most 1000) Individual long strands of DNA are flowed into each nanochannel. Individual nanochannels are separated by physical barriers, which are the individual channels of the target DNA. This prevents individual long strands from interacting with multiple nanochannels. In such cases, the solid support may be at least 10, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000, 3000, 5000, 10000, 3 In some embodiments, the nanochannels may comprise 0,000, 50,000, 80,000, or at least 100,000 nanochannels.

[0057] Amplification and sequencing of immobilized DNA fragments

[0059] The present disclosure further provides methods for increasing the number of immobilized DNA fragments produced according to the methods provided herein. Immobilized DNA generated by surface-bound transposome-mediated tagmentation Fragment A can be amplified according to any suitable amplification method known in the art. In some embodiments, the immobilized DNA fragments are amplified on the solid support. In this embodiment, the solid support is the same solid support on which surface-bound tagmentation occurs. In such embodiments, the methods and compositions provided herein involve sample preparation. from the initial sample introduction step, through amplification, and optionally through the sequencing step. This allows for both to proceed on the same solid support.

[0060] For example, in some embodiments, the immobilized DNA fragments are subjected to cluster amplification techniques. The amplification is performed using a method exemplified by the disclosures of U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,985,565 and 7,115,400. The contents of each are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. The incorporated material of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,985,565 and 7,115,400 is to form arrays consisting of clusters or "colonies" of immobilized nucleic acid molecules. In this paper, we describe a method for solid-phase nucleic acid amplification that allows the nucleic acid to be immobilized on a solid support. Each cluster or colony on such an array is composed of multiple identical immobilized polynucleotides. from a single strand and a plurality of identical immobilized complementary polynucleotide strands. Such formed arrays are generally referred to herein as "clustered arrays." For example, solid phases such as those described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,985,565 and 7,115,400 The products of the amplification reaction are immobilized polynucleotide strands and immobilized complementary strands. The DNA is formed by annealing a pair of DNA fragments, with both strands at their 5' ends on a solid support, preferably or immobilized via covalent attachment, so-called "bridged" structures. Cluster amplification methodology involves the use of immobilized nucleic acid templates to generate immobilized amplicons. Other suitable methodologies may also be used to produce the compounds according to the methods provided herein. This can be used to generate immobilized amplicons from immobilized DNA fragments. For example, one or more clusters or colonies may be Formed via solid-phase PCR whether one or both primers of each pair are immobilized It is possible.

[0061] In other embodiments, the immobilized DNA fragments are amplified in solution. In some embodiments, the immobilized DNA fragments are cleaved or otherwise removed from the solid support. The molecules are released from the carrier, and the amplification primers are then hybridized in solution with the released molecules. In other embodiments, amplification primers are hybridized to one or more initial amplification steps. The fragments are hybridized to immobilized DNA fragments for amplification, and then in solution for subsequent amplification. Thus, in some embodiments, the immobilized nucleic acid template is subjected to a liquid phase amplifying step. It can be used to generate precons.

[0062] Any amplification methodology described herein or commonly known in the art may be used to amplify immobilized DNA. It is understood that the method can be used with universal or target-specific primers to amplify fragments. Suitable methods for amplification include, but are not limited to, polymerase chain reaction (PCR). (PCR), strand displacement amplification (SDA), transcription-mediated amplification (TMA) and nucleic acid sequence-based amplification width (NASBA), which are as described in U.S. Pat. No. 8,003,354, The above amplification methods may be used to amplify one or more For example, multiplex PCR can be used to amplify nucleic acids. PCR, including SDA, TMA, and NASBA, is used to amplify immobilized DNA fragments.

(Nature Genetics) 19: 225-232 (1998)), which is incorporated herein by reference. Incorporation and oligonucleotide ligation assay (OLA) and U.S. Patent Nos. 7,582,420, 5,185,243, 5,679,524, and 5,573,907; EP (European Patent) EP 0 320 308 B1, EP 0 336 731 B1, EP 0 439 182 B1; WO 90 / 01069; WO 89 / 12696; and WO89 / 09835, all of which are incorporated by reference. These amplification methodologies may be designed to amplify immobilized DNA fragments. For example, in some embodiments, the amplification method may include Ligation probe amplification or oligation with primers specifically directed to the desired nucleic acid. An oligonucleotide ligation assay (OLA) reaction may be included. In some embodiments, the amplification method involves using primers specifically directed to the nucleic acid of interest. The amplification reaction may include a primer extension ligation reaction, which amplifies the nucleic acid of interest. Primer extension and ligation primers can be specifically designed to By way of non-limiting example, amplification is exemplified by U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,582,420 and 7,611,869.

[0064] Exemplary isothermal amplification methods that can be used in the methods of the present disclosure include, but are not limited to: See, for example, Dean et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United As exemplified by the study by the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (2002) 99:5261-66, Multiple Displacement Amplification (MDA), or, for example, US The present invention includes isothermal strand displacement nucleic acid amplification exemplified by Japanese Patent No. 6214587. Each of these is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Other non-PCR-based methods that can be used include, for example, strand displacement amplification (SDA), e.g., Wa Walker et al., Molecular Methods for Virus Detection Molecular Methods for the Analysis of Chromosomes, Academic Press, Inc., 1995; U.S. Pat. No. 5, 455,166, and 5,130,238, and Walker et al., Nucl. Acids Res. Acids Research 20:1691-1696 (1992), or, for example, ultrastructural Hyperbranched strand displacement amplification (HSTA) (Lage et al., Genome Research 13:294-307 (2003) each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. The thermal amplification method uses strand-displacing Phi29 polymerase or Bst DNA polymerase large. fragment, used with 5'->3' exon for random primer amplification of genomic DNA The use of these polymerases is due to their high processivity and strand length. High processivity allows the polymerase to generate fragments that are 10-20 kb in length. As mentioned above, smaller fragments can be used to generate Polymerases with low processivity and strand displacement activity, such as Further description of the amplification reaction, conditions and components This is described in detail in the disclosure of U.S. Pat. No. 7,670,810, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. and incorporated by.

[0065] Another nucleic acid amplification method useful in the present disclosure is tagged PCR, which A population of two domain primers was used, each with a random 3' region followed by a constant 5' region. For example, Grothues et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 21(5):1321-2 (1993) and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. One round is based on individual hybridization from a randomly synthesized 3' region. This is done to allow multiple initiations on heat-denatured DNA. Therefore, the initiation site is thought to be random throughout the genome. The primers complementary to the constant 5' region can be removed, and further replication can proceed with the addition of primers complementary to the constant 5' region. This can be done using a marker.

[0066] Sequencing.

In some embodiments, the solid support for sequencing comprises a surface The same solid support on which binding tagmentation occurs. In some embodiments, sequencing The solid support for is the same solid support on which amplification occurs.

In SBS, a nucleic acid template (e.g., a target nucleic acid or its amplicon) is subjected to Extension of the nucleic acid primer along the template is monitored to determine the sequence of nucleotides in the template. The underlying chemical process can be polymerization (e.g., polymerase enzymes). In particular, polymerase-based SBS embodiments utilize fluorescence to Labeled nucleotides allow for the detection of the order and type of nucleotides added to the primer. in a template-dependent manner such that the output can be used to determine the sequence of the template. It is added to the primer (thereby extending the primer).

In such a format, one or more amplified DNA fragments are provided as a convenient solid support. The fragments are subjected to SBS or other detection techniques involving repeated application of reagents in cycles. For example, to initiate a first SBS cycle, one or more labeled nucleotides can be The enzyme, DNA polymerase, etc., is placed in a flow cell containing one or more amplified nucleic acid molecules. The primer extension incorporates labeled nucleotides. The sites where this occurs can be detected. Once a nucleotide is added to the primer, it forms a reversible termination site that terminates further primer extension. For example, nucleic acids having reversible terminator moieties can be used. The oxidase analogue is delivered to remove the moiety via a deblocking agent. A primer can be added so that further extension does not occur until the primer is For embodiments using reversible termination, a deblocking agent is delivered to the flow cell. Washing can be performed between the various delivery steps (before or after detection occurs). The cycle then extends the primer by n nucleotides. The sequence can be repeated n times to detect sequences of length n.

In such a case, the transposome complex comprises a transposase bound to the first polynucleotide. the polynucleotide comprises (i) a 3' portion comprising a transposon end sequence; and and (ii) a first tag comprising a first tag domain. The density of the transposons can vary. For example, in some embodiments, The mm complex 2 At least 10 per square millimeter 3 , 10 4 , 10 5 , or at least Also 10 6 The complex is present on the solid support at a density of 0.1 μg / ml.

[0078] Also presented herein is a method for generating a flow cell for tagmentation. The method includes, for example, immobilizing a plurality of transposome complexes on a solid support. The transposome complex comprises a transposase bound to the first polynucleotide. The first polynucleotide comprises (i) a 3' portion containing a transposon end sequence, and (i i) It may include a first tag that includes a first tag domain.

[0079] The transposome complex can be immobilized to a solid support in a variety of ways. In one embodiment, The method includes providing a solid support having a plurality of first polynucleotides immobilized thereon. and providing a solid support comprising a transposase holoenzyme and a second polynucleotide. the second polynucleotide comprises contacting the second polynucleotide with a transposon end; In some embodiments, the second polynucleotide comprises a region complementary to the target sequence. The transposase holoenzyme is added to the immobilized first polynucleotide. In some embodiments, the second polynucleotide and the transposon are hybridized. Figure 5a shows the assembly of the surface-bound transposome complex. One embodiment of this method for enabling the transposase holoenzyme is shown. From the 5' surface grafted end, a cluster amplification primer (A.pr) and a sequencing primer Flow cell containing primer (S.pr) and oligonucleotide containing ME sequence (Figure 5a) Instead, the non-transferred ME strand is added to the The strands can first hybridize to the surface-grafted ME, and then Transposase was added to the flow cell.

[0080] In some embodiments, the transposome complexes assemble in solution. The immobilization involves splint oligonucleotides coupled to a solid support. This embodiment further comprises ligating the first polynucleotide to the Illustrated in Figure 5b. In some embodiments, the splint oligonucleotide is It can be extended with a polymerase before the next step occurs.

[0081] In some embodiments, the transposome dimer comprises a looped oligonucleotide. Assembled by hybridizing to an immobilized first polynucleotide. For example, a looped oligonucleotide may include a first end and a second end. and a first end complementary to the transposon end sequence of the first polynucleotide. The second end of the looped oligonucleotide corresponds to the second transposon end sequence. The second transposon end sequence can be complementary to the first polynucleotide in the liquid phase, for example. In some embodiments, the immobilized nucleic acid may be a portion of a nucleotide. The first polynucleotide and the second polynucleotide in the liquid phase are The sposon may contain end sequences, or their complements. In such embodiments, the looped oligonucleotide has non-cognate first and second ends. The transposon end sequences are complementary to each of the transposon end sequences. An example of this embodiment is shown in Figure 5c. As shown in Figure 5c, adjacent adapter pairs represent two oligonucleotides. This is produced by hybridizing to a surface-bound oligonucleotide. This is achieved by employing two non-cognate transposon end sequences (ME1 and ME2). Addition of the transposase holoenzyme results in the formation of an active "looped" transposase. The transposome complex was reconstituted, where one of the two adapters in each transposome was Only one side is coupled to the surface 5c.

[0084] Tagging using transpososome beads

[0085] One embodiment presented herein is a population of microparticles with transposons immobilized thereon. The use of solid supports, such as beads, can offer several advantages over solution-based tagmentation. For example, In solution-based tagmentation, it is difficult to control the final fragment size of the tagmentation reaction. Fragment size is a function of the transposome pair, the amount and size of DNA, and the duration of the reaction. Even if these parameters are controlled, the size selection fraction (si ze selection fractionation) is usually shorter than the combined paired read length , an additional step is required to remove excess small fragments. The proposed method avoids these drawbacks. Specifically, bead-immobilized transposomes Regardless of the amount of transposome beads added to the tagmentation reaction, Allows selection of final fragment size as a function of spatial separation of the polypeptides. A further limitation of tagmentation is the amount of purification required for the products of the tagmentation reaction both before and after PCR amplification. This typically requires some form of In contrast, bead-based transposons require some transfer of the reaction from beads to tubes. The tagged products in the system are washed and subsequently resolved for amplification or other downstream processing. The sample can be released, thus avoiding the need for sample transfer. In embodiments where the liposomes are assembled with paramagnetic beads, purification of the tagmentation reaction products can be accomplished by This can be easily achieved by immobilizing the beads with a magnet and washing. Thus, in some embodiments, tagging and other techniques such as PCR amplification are used. All downstream processing can be performed in a single tube, vessel, droplet, or other container. The application, filed on November 6, 2013, entitled "INTEGRATED SEQUENCING APPARATUSES AND METHODS OF USE" No. 13 / 670,318, entitled "Sequencing Apparatus and Methods of Use," which is incorporated herein by reference. As exemplified in the disclosure of the present application, which is incorporated in its entirety by reference herein, certain embodiments may be In this study, sample tagging and downstream processing was performed on a microfluidic droplet-based device. For example, in a microfluidic droplet-based device, droplets containing target nucleic acids, washing Buffers or other reagents are applied to the surface containing the immobilized transposome complexes. Similarly, beads with transposomes immobilized on them can be used to pass through the membrane. The droplets containing the target nucleic acid, wash buffer, and the like are then transferred to a microfluidic droplet-based device. or other reagents.

[0086] In some embodiments, the immobilized transposome complex comprises a first polynucleoside. a transposase that binds to a first polynucleotide and a second polynucleotide; The oligonucleotide is anchored at its 5' end to the surface of the microparticle, and the second polynucleotide is hybridized to the 3' end of the first polynucleotide, The tagged region includes: (i) a 3' portion containing the transposon end sequence; and (ii) a first tagged region. The first tag containing the main.

[0087] Figures 9-12 provide illustrations of transposomes assembled on the surface of paramagnetic beads. FIG. 9 shows a bead surface with two different first polynucleotides immobilized thereon. The first polynucleotide shown contains a transposon end sequence (ME). One of the first polynucleotides to be analyzed is an amplification primer sequence (P5) and a sequencing primer sequence (S1). The other polynucleotides shown in Figure 9 contain a tag domain containing a mer sequence (Read 1). The reads contained different amplification primer sequences (P7) and sequencing primer sequences (Read 2). The first polynucleotide may also include an index tag. The tag may be unique to the bead or may be unique to one or more other bead species in the population. A single bead can have a single index immobilized on it. It may have a tag or it may have multiple index tags fixed to it. It's fine.

[0088] FIG. 10 shows the second polynucleotides that hybridize to each of the first polynucleotides. The second polynucleotide has a region complementary to the transposon end sequence of the first polynucleotide. In some embodiments, the second polynucleotide is 15 base pairs in length. In some embodiments, the second polynucleotide is approximately 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150 It can be 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 base pairs or longer than 20 base pairs. In embodiments, the second polynucleotide is phosphorylated at its 5' end.

[0089] FIG. 11 shows the assembly of transposomes on the surface of beads, where the transposomes The posase enzyme is contacted with the immobilized oligonucleotide. When transposase is added to the beads, three types of transposome complexes are formed. The following complexes were identified: P5:P5, P7:P7, and P5:P7 complexes (Figure 11).

[0090] When transposome beads are added to a solution of target DNA in tagmentation buffer, When the beads are immersed in water, tagging occurs, linking the DNA to the surface of the beads. A library is generated.

[0091] Figure 12 shows that sequential tagging into DNA provides bridging molecules between transposomes. An embodiment is shown in which three types of transposomes are present (as in FIG. 11 ): ), three types of bridge complexes result: P5:P5, P7:P7, and P5:P7 complexes. The ratio of fusion is 25:25:50 respectively.

[0092] In some embodiments, the length of the crosslinked fragments is determined by the length of the transposons on the surface of the beads. This density can be determined by the density of the oligonucleotides on the surface. amount, amount of double-stranded transposon end complexes on the surface and transposome assembly The amount of transposase enzyme added during the tagmentation step is adjustable. Upon cleavage, the P5:P7 tagmentation product is released from the surface of the beads using any suitable method. In some embodiments, the tagged products can be generated by, for example, suppressive PCR. PCR (suppression PCR), step-out PCR, etc. In some embodiments, the tagmentation products are released from the beads by cleavage. Cleavage can be, for example, chemical, enzymatic, photochemical, or a combination thereof. Any suitable method for releasing one or more tagmentation products from a solid support may be used herein. It will be understood that the present invention can be utilized in the methods provided herein.

[0093] The DNA may be attached to the surface using any suitable method to increase the probability of contact. For example, in some embodiments, Precipitation of DNA onto a solid surface allows for the formation of a complex between the target DNA and the transposome complex on the solid surface. This can be used to increase contact. contacting the DNA with a solid support, as incorporated by reference in its entirety Any one of many methods known in the art can be used for this purpose. As will be understood by those skilled in the art, for example, the bars used in solid phase reversible immobilization (SPRI) technology Precipitating DNA onto surfaces, including any of a number of buffers, PEG, ethanol, or DNA can be precipitated onto the solid support by adding any of a variety of other agents known to inhibit the synthesis of DNA. It can be made to be a palace.

[0094] In some embodiments, the population of beads with immobilized transposome complexes is Mix the beads with an excess of beads that do not carry transposomes or oligonucleotides. This reduces the possibility of tagmentation across two or more different beads. Another method to reduce the possibility of tagmentation across two or more different beads is to This involves immobilizing the beads so that contact between the beads is minimized. As exemplified by the incorporated material of WO 2010 / 115122, Immobilizing beads via magnetism on the side of a solid surface such as a small centrifuge tube, or any This can be accomplished by any of a number of techniques known in the art, including other immobilization techniques. This can be done.

[0095] In some embodiments, the transpososome beads are, for example, prokaryotic or eukaryotic. It can be used to isolate and identify nucleic acids from single cells, such as biological cells. For example, in some embodiments, particles such as beads can be Coated with indexed transposomes that share an index (specific beads All transposomes present on the beads are different from the indexes present on other beads. The beads are then separated using various methodologies known in the art. For example, to deliver beads within a cell, Methods for this include, but are not limited to, gene guns, photothermal nanoblades (Wu ) et al., Anal Chem. (Analytical Chemistry) (2011) 4:1321-7], and cells Peptides used in conjunction with permeabilizers (Nitin et al., Ann Biomed Eng. (2009) 37: 2018-2027) and others DNA from single cells is transferred to indexed transposomes. Any suitable method for associating particles with It will be understood that this may be possible.

[0096] In some embodiments, the transposons are used as described in detail above. The beads can be covalently attached to the beads. The insposomes can be released from the beads upon application of a chemical or physical stimulus. Some examples of stimuli that can trigger the release of transposomes from the body include: In some embodiments, the transposons are The method involves the use of enzymes such as restriction endonucleases to bind to solid supports. In certain embodiments, the transposome is released from the bead. The beads (or alternatively, the released transmembrane) are then free to move within the cell. Once the chromatin or DNA is in contact with the ribosomal membrane, tagmentation can occur. In mammalian and prokaryotic systems, all genomic DNA is always accessible and available for tagging. It will be understood that certain embodiments may not necessarily be implemented in accordance with the present invention. So, 0.001%, 0.01%, 0.1%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10% ,15%,20%,25%,30%,35%,40%,45%,50%,55%,60%,65%,70%,75%, up to 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 99% or more of the total DNA in a cell % are tagged by transposomes. The use of only tagged beads By grouping together reads that share the same index, we identify reads from the same cell. These reads originate from the same bead (and therefore Additionally or alternatively, in some embodiments, In this case, a cross-linking step can be performed to cross-link cellular DNA, while it is still possible to inside the nucleus of a cell. Such steps link together the DNA from a single cell. After DNA extraction from the cells, it is then combined with indexed beads. The mixture can be mixed and subjected to tagmentation as described in detail above. Additionally or alternatively, variations of this method include the typing of flow-sorted chromosomes. Flow-sorted chromosomes can be mixed with the indexed beads described above. A specific chromosome can be attached to a bead and the fragments generated through tagging can be analyzed. This means that the entire chromosome (haplotyping) ) could enable phasing of SNPs.

[0097] In some such embodiments, the total number of index marks successfully tagged is In some embodiments, the dual index approach involves: For example, as a way to increase the number of possible combinations of indexes, As an example, the use of two 8-base indexes can be 8 ×4 8 =4.3×10 9 Combination of This gives the theoretical number of

[0098] In some embodiments, the approach involves individual cells being tagged with multiple beads. For example, one approach is to The solution is to use beads of a size similar to that of the cells. In this way, it is ensured that the cells cannot accommodate more than one bead. Alternatively, another approach is to take advantage of cell-to-bead ratios that favor single-cell targeting. For example, if there are many more cells than beads, then the beads within the cells The Poisson distribution of beads is such that cells that have taken up a single bead are more likely to take up two or more beads. This means that it far exceeds the cell.

[0099] In some embodiments, the single cell approach described above involves the identification of two SNPs (or structural repeats). sequence) are present in the same cell. For example, in a heterogeneous population of cancer cells, two SNPs may be present in the same cell or in different cells. Knowing whether or not you have cancer can help you deliver the right cancer treatment.

[0100] In some embodiments, the single cell approach described above is used to study RNA. For example, a suitable enzyme for the reverse transcription step (i.e., reverse transcriptase) and Coating beads with oligonucleotides allows for single-cell detection. Gene expression can be analyzed. In one embodiment, reverse transcriptase, oligonucleotides and transposome-coated beads were introduced, and cytoplasmic RNA was converted to cDNA. It can be converted, tagged, and prepared inside the cell.

[0101] A method for long-read assembly using barcodes on immobilized transposomes

[0102] Barcode-assisted assembly of DNA fragments is a method for identifying individual long DNA segments within a population of DNA molecules. Isolation of the fragments and conversion of each molecule into a uniquely barcoded subfragment library When the entire population of subfragmented DNA molecules is sequenced, the subfragments are By referencing the barcodes contained in the It can be done.

[0103] Various methods are known for barcoding individual DNA molecules. For example, the "dilution method" Extreme dilution and separate wells so that each well contains only one or a few molecules of DNA Individual long molecules are separated by aliquoting them into compartments (eg, wells of a plate). Each well is physically separated, so library preparation requires a unique barcode along with The contents of the wells are then pooled and distributed. Another method is to determine the sequence of each droplet by combining a long DNA molecule, library preparation reagents, and each droplet. Another approach is to use emulsions containing unique barcodes to detect the intactness of the molecules ( to insert multiple twin barcodes along the length of DNA while maintaining its integrity. Using a large library of indexed looped transposome complexes to Subsequent cleavage between the barcode "twin" allows for the matching of the barcodes. This results in fragments that can be sequenced and reassembled. Each of these methods has drawbacks that are overcome by the barcoding method presented here. Accompanying that.

[0104] Presented here is the above method of isolating and barcoding individual long molecules. The method presented here involves the use of emulsions. It achieves the same physical separation benefits as emulsification without the need for dilution. This provides a much greater degree of complexity than that provided by the large number of "wells" available. The unique barcode of the method is important because the number of beads in a bead-based method is often rare. In a sense, the "wells" of the dilution method can be much larger than the number of wells of the dilution method. An additional benefit over emulsion methods is that bead-based methods do not require a definitive barcode. The distribution of the barcodes is uniform (i.e., one barcode per bead) and non-random (i.e., multiple barcodes per bead). The method presented here also allows for molecular integrity and proximity ( contiguity) is a looped transpososome complex as used in some other methods. In addition, the method presented here achieves the same initial preservation without the need for coalescence. does not require as much code space as some other methods do.

[0105] Therefore, in some embodiments presented herein, the barcoding method involves Providing a population of particles having transposome complexes immobilized thereon the transposome complex comprises a first polynucleotide and a second polynucleotide; In some embodiments, the first polynucleotide comprises a transposase that binds to the first polynucleotide. The peptide comprises an index domain that is associated with a microparticle. In some embodiments, the index domain can be unique to the microparticle. In some cases, the population of particles includes at least a plurality of index domains. In an embodiment, the index domain is located on more than one microparticle in the population of microparticles. In some embodiments, in the population of microparticles, the microparticles have multiple individual Includes the x domain.

[0106] The barcoding method presented here further applies target DNA to a population of microparticles. thereby providing an immobilized DNA fragment tagged with an index domain. As exemplified by the incorporated material of WO 2010 / 115122, Any suitable method for increasing the likelihood of such contact may be used to efficiently separate the DNA. It can be contacted with a surface-bound transposome.

[0107] The method may be performed using any of a variety of known formats, for example, tagging reagents and labeling. The combination of bead arrays for library preparation is followed by indexed sequencing. Measurement runs and bespoke data analysis can be performed subsequently. Any other suitable method for maintaining in static separation from the surface tagmentation and It can be used for indexing purposes. For example, microspheres ) can remain in the well, e.g., by attaching a group that can hold beads. Physical construction such as wells or small depressions in the material, or the use of other forces ( magnetic or compressed), or chemically modified, or chemically functionalized at the active site, e.g. functionalized moieties, electrostatically modified moieties, hydrophobic and / or hydrophilic functionalized moieties, or It's like an adhesive spot.

[0108] In some embodiments, the microspheres are non-covalently associated with the wells. However, typically the wells may be additionally chemically functionalized as described below. Alternatively, a cross-linking agent may be used, or a physical barrier may be used, for example, a beam It is a film or membrane on the glass.

[0109] In certain embodiments, the surface of the substrate is either covalently or non-covalently bonded to the surface of the substrate. for attachment of the microspheres of the present invention to discrete sites or locations on a substrate. In this context, The "chemically modified site" includes, but is not limited to, an amino group, a carboxyl group, an oxidase group, and the like. The addition of patterns of chemical functional groups, including hydroxyl and thiol groups, allows them to be They can also be used to covalently attach molecules to other molecules. containing reactive functional groups that can be used to bind to microspheres; Addition of adhesive patterns (previous chemical functionalization for adhesive application or direct application of adhesive) by either addition of a pattern of charged groups for electrostatic attachment of microspheres; Addition (similar to chemical functionality), for example, microspheres with charged groups on the opposite side of the site. when containing similarly hydrophobic or hydrophilic microspheres under appropriate experimental conditions The addition of hydroxybenzoates to the microsphere sites based on hydroaffinity. sites differentially hydrophobic to result in association This includes the addition of patterns of chemical functional groups that confer hydrophilicity or hydrophobicity. The use of hydrophobic moieties on beads allows for preferential bead association to the moieties in aqueous systems. As outlined above, a "pattern" in this sense includes a set of discrete The surface is uniform to allow for bead attachment and treatment of the surface to provide distinct sites. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, this can be achieved in a variety of ways. It can be achieved.

[0110] In certain embodiments, a multiplicity of beads containing surface-bound transposomes are generated. , where each bead contains many transposomes, but for any given bead All transposomes on the beads contain the same barcode. A collection of monoclonal barcoded transpososome oligonucleotides The production of is exemplified by the disclosure of U.S. Pat. No. 5,604,097, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. For better integration, the method may be performed according to any one of a number of techniques known in the art. It can be executed.

[0111] FIG. 13 illustrates one embodiment, in which surface-bound transposomes have their 5' As shown in Figure 13, the oligonucleotides contain long oligonucleotides attached to a surface via their ends. The 3' end of the oligonucleotide is the Mosaic End (M) of the Tn5 transposase enzyme. Upstream of this sequence (close to the 5' end) is a barcode sequence, typically 6-8 bases in length. The upstream is a primer sequence. Additionally, a cleavage site may be included to allow the oligonucleotide to be cleaved from the surface. Its presence in the oligonucleotide is optional to the overall method. The second short oligonucleotide (non-transcribed strand, MENTS) is attached to the long surface graft. ed) hybridizes to the METS sequence at the 3' end of the oligonucleotide. The sposase dimers must be fused to form functional transposomes. It is assembled at the 3' end of the oligonucleotide.

[0112] Figure 14 shows barcoding on beads in an array of wells. As shown in Figure 14, When long molecules of dsDNA are added to an array of bead-immobilized transposomes, A given molecule encounters a bead and is transported multiple times by the transposome on the bead. Each fragment gets tagmented. It is immobilized on a bead, and the bead In a particular embodiment shown in FIG. The physical separation of the beads in the loop prevents DNA molecules from reaching the gap between the two beads. In other embodiments, the beads are in close contact and one or more DNA molecules are attached to two or more beads. In some embodiments, more than one DNA molecule may extend between beads. The probability of two alleles being tagged on the same bead is low, and is a function of the concentration of DNA added, the number of beads, and the number of barcodes. For example, , 0.1 × haplom to avoid two alleles occurring in the same well 1000 genome equivalents (50,000 genome equivalents) with unique barcodes on 1 million beads each You need to load it into

[0113] Figure 15 shows the transfer of barcoded and tagged molecules to a sequencing reaction. As shown in Figure 15, once tagmentation is complete, the DNA is split into individual fragments, pooled, and They are then transferred from the bead surface into a solution so that they can be prepared for sequencing. Sequencing and assembly by referencing barcodes is performed on the original long tagged This allows the sequence of the DNA molecule to be recreated, thus eliminating long or pseudo-SNPs. This allows for similarly long leads and fading.

[0114] The release of barcoded surface tagged fragments into solution is known in this technology. This can be achieved using any suitable methodology, such as those described in In some embodiments, the tagged molecule is attached at the 5' end of a surface-bound oligonucleotide. can be cleaved from the surface of the beads via the presence of a cleavage moiety (See Figure 13.) The cleavage moiety can be any suitable moiety for cleaving a nucleic acid strand from a solid support. Examples of methods utilizing cleavage moieties include, but are not limited to, and WO 2006 / 064199, which are cleavage methods and cleavage components thereof, restriction endonuclease cleavage, chemical cleavage, including those incorporated by reference in These include cleavage, RNase cleavage, photochemical cleavage, and others like it.

[0115] Cleavage using a cleavage component gives a molecule with the following format: 5'-primer-barcode-ME-insert-ME-barcode-primer-3'

[0116] The "primer" region refers to additional sequences that may be added, such as amplification and sequencing primers. Columns allow for PCR step-out primers to hybridize, and hybridization For example, amplification primers P5 and P6 can be used as a primer for amplification of P7 can be added. Once added, suppressive PCR can be performed by adding, for example, a P5 adapter on one end. can be used to enrich for molecules with P7, and others with P7.

[0117] In some embodiments, amplification is by suppression PCR to add P5 and P7 adapter sequences. In another embodiment, the step-out primer can be directly from the bead. Each bead can have two types of surface-grafted oligonucleotides, Here, the primer sequence is (as in Figure 13) P5-Read 1 sequencing primer or P7-Read 2 sequencing primer. This means that the mixed P5-P7 As mentioned above, these are either detached from the beads or and then followed by suppression PCR to enrich for P5 / P7 molecules, or It can be amplified directly from the signal.

[0118] In some embodiments, a single transposome type (e.g., P5-Read1-Barcode) Once surface tagging is complete, different amplification and and / or a second transposome carrying a sequencing primer to cleave the bridge molecule. This allows for either cleavage or amplification from the bead surface. All molecules are provided with the same adapter format that allows for either Additional sample-specific barcodes allow multiple samples to be pooled by this method. Figure 16 shows an example of this embodiment. As shown in Figure 16, the liquid phase transposome carrying the P7 amplification primer sequence The immobilized fragment is added to the beads along with the immobilized bridge-tagged product. A polymerase chain containing a wide primer sequence and a barcode index tag (i9) that is unique to the bead. As shown in Figure 16, after the second tagging reaction, each The fragments were then amplified with fixed ends bearing the P7 and P5 primer sequences. It has an origin. [Example]

[0119] Example 1 Surface tagmentation in a flow cell

[0120] This example describes experiments confirming the embodiment shown in Figures 4a and 4b (surface tagging). (followed by solution tagmentation).

[0121] Experiments on an 8-lane flow cell were performed under multiple conditions and conditions, as shown in Figures 6a and 6b. Lane 6 shows a complete end-to-end description of the method. Indicates: unfragmented E. coli genomic DNA is added to the flow cell, which results in the surface-bound transposons The naked ME sequence was then selectively dehybridized. To do this, heat is applied to the flow cell, so that the transposomes are then transported into solution. When added from the first, they were eliminated as targets for the second tagmentation reaction. After the second tagmentation reaction, clusters are generated and sequenced, forming "paired-end" (2 Sequencing metrics are given in slide 7. In lane 6, 73.14% of the clusters passed through the filter, and This indicates that 74.69 of the inserts are aligned. Provide sufficient data to obtain plots and estimates of library diversity (Figure 8 reference).

[0122] Other lanes contained the following controls: Lane 1 shows everything was pumped correctly, cluster generation and sequencing PhiX DNA was used as a positive control to ensure that the include. Lane 2 is another control lane, showing surface-bound transfectants in the absence of target DNA. The flow cell (FC) contains a standard paired-end FC. This involves the use of an oligonucleotide containing a tagged primer sequence and an ME' sequence (non-transcribed ME' strand). The oligonucleotide was hybridized to the P7 surface oligonucleotide. The first extension resulted in a double-stranded transposon with ME ends. Transposomes were assembled in solution and run on a FC (6.25 nM / lane). The P5 transposome binds the transposon to the surface of the double stranded strand. The tagmentation products are then converted into clusters. Lane 3 shows tagging of surface-bound transposons in the absence of target DNA; in this example To convert ds surface-bound transposons into single-stranded oligonucleotides only in This prevents tagmentation of the target DNA prior to addition of P5 transposomes from solution. Therefore, the FC was heated to 75°C to prevent tagmentation of these constructs. Lane 4 shows the addition of surface-bound transposomes to the conditions in lane 3. In the method, an oligonucleotide containing a tagmentation primer sequence and an ME' sequence is attached to the P7 surface. The first extension hybridized to the double-stranded transposon carrying the ME. Following this, the P7 transposome was added to the lane at a 50x concentration of Tn5 enzyme. The FCs were assembled on the surface by incubating at 30°C for 30 minutes. The FC was then heated to 75°C before adding the P5 transposomes from the solution. Lane 5 contains the same conditions as lane 4, only in this case, the P5 transposomes were removed from solution. Instead of adding E. coli, a 900 bp library (P5 / P7 ends) was added to the surface-bound transcript of P7. Sposomes were added to determine whether they remained active after the heating step. Lane 6 shows an example of the realization of the present invention. In this example, FC is converted from standard paired-end FC to and an oligonucleotide comprising a tagmentation primer sequence and an ME' sequence. The first extension was a double-stranded oligonucleotide with ME ends. P7 transpososomes are obtained by adding Tn5 enzyme to the lanes at a 50x concentration. and assemble onto the surface of the FC by incubating for 30 min at 30 °C. Target DNA (300 ng of unfragmented E. coli genomic DNA) was added to the FC lane and and an incubation step at 55°C for 15 minutes were performed to allow tagmentation to occur. P7 surface-bound transposomes were washed away using PBI (Qiagen), and The FC was then heated to 75°C before adding the P5 transposomes from the solution. After the addition of P5 transposomes and a 15 min incubation step at 55 °C, the Stand displacement extension reactions are performed by using 9-amino-3-methyl-2-propanol groups generated in the DNA backbone by a transposition reaction. The stand displacement extension reaction was carried out to fill the 0-bp gap. The P5 transposome is prepared by adding 1000 ribosomal RNA and incubating at 65°C for 5 minutes. The final step was washing away. At this point, all surface-bound molecules were attached to the P5-P7 templates. should be a cluster and can therefore be converted into a cluster. Lane 7 contains the same conditions as lane 6, only in this instance the heating step is The data was omitted to highlight the effect of heat on star count and % aligned. Lane 8 contains a negative control, in which P7 transposomes bind to ds surface-bound transposomes. Assembled on the surface at 50x concentration in the presence of a saturating concentration of transposon, but the target No DNA was added. This indicates that the surface-bound P7 transposomes were not directly connected to their neighboring surface-bound transposomes. This allows for evaluation of whether transposons are tagged.

[0123] Example 2 Surface-bound sample preparation from E. coli scrapes

[0124] E. coli samples (5mm x 2mm scrapes from the bacterial lawn on the agar plate) The cells were scraped off and resuspended in a tube containing water and glass beads. Mix using a vortex mixer to disrupt the cells, then remove the cell debris. The supernatant (containing the cell lysate and containing proteins and nucleic acids) was collected by centrifugation. (having) and immobilizing the transposomes according to the protocol described in Example 1. Genome Analyzer flow cell (Illumina, Inc.) Lumina, San Diego, CA).

[0125] Cluster generation is performed using the Cluster Station sample preparation device. Cluster generation was performed on a flow cell using a 3D printer (Illumina, Inc., San Diego, CA). Afterwards, a paired-end sequencing run was performed with 36 base reads in each direction.

[0126] For read 1, 58.99% of the clusters passed the filter, and 92.16 of these were analyzed. For read 2, 58.99% of the clusters passed the filter, and 55.0% of these These data were obtained by aligning crude cell lysates with transposome-immobilized The results are surprisingly robust. Check that:

[0127] Example 3

[0128] This example shows the effect of surface-bound oligonucleotides on the addition of liquid-phase transposomes to the flow cell. A method for avoiding tagmentation of the peptide duplex is described.

[0129] One method for assembling transposomes on the surface of a flow cell is to use standard A paired-end flow cell was used, and polymerase was used to create a double-stranded ME sequence. P5 and / or P7 surface groups form extendable overhangs that can be extended Hybridization of 'splint' oligonucleotides with rafted oligonucleotides At this stage, the transposase enzyme hybridizes functional surface-bound transposons. Only part of the duplex can be added to form a transpososome (Fig. 5d). When forming sposomes, the remaining 'naked' ME duplexes are then transported to the immediate surface Tagged transposomes either bound or added from solution. Furthermore, fully assembled surface transposons can be targets for transcription. The system also reacts with nearby surface-bound transposomes or transposomes added from solution. It contains a dsDNA segment upstream of the ME sequence that can be targeted for tagging by the nucleotide sequence. Unwanted tagmentation is filtered out using a purity filter that aligns to the target genome. This is manifested in a decrease in the proportion of clusters passing through rs.

[0130] An example of this effect is shown in Figure 18b by comparing lanes 4 and 5 versus lanes 6 and 7. In lanes 6 and 7, the transposomes were Assembled using a long splint oligonucleotide, it is extended and transfected. After sposome assembly, surface-bound duplexes with at least 50 double-stranded bases are generated. In use, only 22.59% of the surface tagmentation reaction (Figure 18a) and subsequent sequencing were performed. and 15.52% of the clusters aligned to the target E. coli, respectively (Fig. 18b).

[0131] Avoid generating a population of clusters containing sequences that do not align to the target genomic DNA To achieve this, transposome assembly was performed as shown in Figure 17. The oligonucleotide is extended with a polymerase to create a duplex containing a double-stranded ME sequence. Surface grafting of P5 and / or P7 to form extendible overhangs that could be The oligonucleotide was first hybridized to the splint oligonucleotide. After removing the leutide by de-annealing and washing it off, , followed by even shorter oligonucleotides, only about 12 bases long, but preferably 16 bases long. The oligonucleotide is placed by hybridizing it to the 3' end of the surface-attached ME oligonucleotide. The transposase creates a transposome that does not contain any exposed dsDNA. Any 'naked' DNA that does not contain a transposase was added to assemble the DNA. The duplexes are selectively deannealed by incubating the flow cell at 60°C. and removed by washing under flow conditions to remove short double-stranded DNA.

[0132] The beneficial effect of this approach on assembling transposomes is This can be seen in Figures 4 and 5, where surface-bound transposomes are used in this method. The resulting nucleotides were assembled and used in a surface tagmentation reaction (Figure 18a). The percentage of clusters aligned to was 22.59 and 15.0 for lanes 6 and 7, respectively. 52% to 96.47 and 96.41 for lanes 4 and 5, respectively (Fig. 18b). .
