20140235847 | METHODS, COMPOSITIONS, AND KITS FOR GENERATING rRNA-DEPLETED SAMPLES OR ISOLATING rRNA FROM SAMPLES - The present invention provides methods, compositions, and kits for generating rRNA-depleted samples and for isolating rRNA from samples. In particular, the present invention provides compositions comprising affinity-tagged antisense rRNA molecules corresponding to substantially all of at least one rRNA molecule (e.g., 28S, 26S, 25S, 18S, 5.8S and 5S eukaryotic cytoplasmic rRNA molecules, 12S and 16S eukaryotic mitochondrial rRNA molecules, and 23S, 16S and 5S prokaryotic rRNA molecules) and methods for using such compositions to generate rRNA-depleted samples or to isolate rRNA molecules from samples. | 08-21-2014 |
20140179562 | METHODS AND KITS FOR 3'-END-TAGGING OF RNA - The present innovation provides methods and kits that enable rapid and efficient dual end-tagging of RNA to prepare libraries for analysis by applications such as next-generation RNA sequencing, qPCR, microarray analysis, or cloning. The methods do not require time-consuming and inefficient gel-purification steps that are common to methods known in the art. In addition, the present invention provides methods and kits for rapid, high-throughput enzymatic preparation of 5′-activated, 3′-blocked DNA oligonucleotides from standard, single-stranded DNA oligonucleotides. | 06-26-2014 |

In particular, the present invention provides compositions comprising affinity-tagged antisense rRNA molecules corresponding to substantially all of at least one rRNA molecule (e.g., 28S, 26S, 25S, 18S, 5.8S and 5S eukaryotic cytoplasmic rRNA molecules, 12S and 16S eukaryotic mitochondrial rRNA molecules, and 23S, 16S and 5S prokaryotic rRNA molecules) and methods for using such compositions to generate rRNA-depleted samples or to isolate rRNA molecules from samples. | 02-17-2011 |

20100120098 | TRANSPOSON END COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR MODIFYING NUCLEIC ACIDS - The present invention provides methods, compositions and kits for using a transposase and a transposon end for generating extensive fragmentation and 5′-tagging of double-stranded target DNA in vitro, then using a DNA polymerase for generating 5′- and 3′-tagged single-stranded DNA fragments without performing a PCR amplification reaction, wherein the first tag on the 5′-ends exhibits the sequence of the transferred transposon end and optionally, an additional arbitrary sequence, and the second tag on the 3′-ends exhibits a different sequence from the sequence exhibited by the first tag. The method is useful for generating 5′- and 3′-tagged DNA fragments for use in a variety of processes, including processes for metagenomic analysis of DNA in environmental samples, copy number variation (CNV) analysis of DNA, and comparative genomic sequencing (CGS), including massively parallel DNA sequencing (so-called “next-generation sequencing.) | 05-13-2010 |
20090053775 | COPY DNA AND SENSE RNA - The present invention relates generally to methods, compositions and kits for synthesizing sense RNA molecules from one or more RNA molecules of interest in a sample. In exemplary embodiments, the methods use a terminal tagging oligoribonucleotide (rTTO) to join a DNA sequence tag to the 3′-termini of first-strand cDNA molecules. The use of an rTTO comprising ribonucleotides results in decreased oligonucleotide-derived background synthesis of RNA in the absence of sample RNA and, surprisingly and unexpectedly, also results in significantly increased yields of sense RNA molecules that exhibit sequences that are substantially identical to those of the RNA molecules of interest in the sample. The sense RNA molecules also have an RNA sequence tag on their 5′-termini that is useful for fixing the lengths of sense RNA molecules that are synthesized in a second or subsequent round. | 02-26-2009 |
20080293107 | METHODS FOR USING RIBOPRIMERS FOR STRAND DISPLACEMENT REPLICATION OF TARGET SEQUENCES - Methods, compositions and kits for amplifying a target sequence by strand displacement replication using strand-displacing primers. The method uses primers that have only ribonucleotides or purine ribonucleotides and at least one 2′-substituted pyrimidine-2′-deoxyribonucleotide. | 11-27-2008 |
