Abstract

Embodiments provide a construction method for a high-throughput sequencing library, a kit, and a use. The method comprises: using a Tn5 transposase complex to randomly break a DNA in a genome sample to obtain a DNA breakage product; carrying out molecular hybridization on an RNA enrichment probe and the DNA breakage product, and using streptavidin magnetic beads to collect an RNA-DNA complex in a molecular hybridization product; and carrying out methylation treatment and PCR amplification on the RNA-DNA complex to obtain a sequencing library. The method achieves directed enrichment of a target methylation site in the genome sample; when a new target methylation site needs to be added, an RNA enrichment probe is simply designed for same; when the target methylation site that has been proven to have a poor effect needs to be deleted, the RNA enrichment probe corresponding thereto is simply removed; and by means of the directed enrichment of the target methylation site, the concentration requirement of the genome sample is reduced, and trace detection is facilitated.
