Localized detection of RNA in a tissue sample that includes cells is accomplished on an array. The array include a number of features on a substrate. Each feature includes a different capture probe immobilized such that the capture probe has a free 3 end. Each feature occupies a distinct position on the array and has an area of less than about 1 mm.sup.2. Each capture probe is a nucleic acid molecule, which includes a positional domain including a nucleotide sequence unique to a particular feature, and a capture domain including a nucleotide sequence complementary to the RNA to be detected. The capture domain can be at a position 3 of the positional domain.

Methods and compositions of single tube preparation of sequencing libraries from a target DNA are provided. The methods include contacting the DNA with a composition comprising Cas9 endonuclease, a first and a second guide RNAs, a ligase, and sequencing adapters, subjecting the composition to thermal cycling to cleave the DNA at the sites flanking the regions of interest by the RNA guided endonuclease, and subjecting the composition to a temperature to allow ligation of the cleaved DNA fragments including the regions of interest with the sequencing adapters to generate the sequencing libraries.

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing an organic fertilizer prepared using antagonistic microorganisms, fermentative microorganisms, synthetic microorganisms, and organic raw materials, and to an organic fertilizer manufactured by the manufacturing method. The present invention has the technical feature wherein a powder-type organic raw material characterized by being produced via a contaminant removal step, a sterilization step, a microorganism culture medium preparation step, and a microorganism additive solution preparation step are subjected to a mixing step, a fermentation step, and a drying step. The present invention is effective for soil improvement, crop growth, and disease and pest control. In addition, fertilizer produced through the technical solution contains primary metabolites, secondary metabolites, conjugated enzymes, antibiotics, bioactive substances and inducers, etc., and thus not only does not contaminate the soil, but is also effective for ecosystem restoration, and for increasing profits through the production of safe organic crops.

Provided herein are compositions, systems, and methods employing hyper-thermostable lysine-mutant ssDNA/RNA ligases that possesses both ssRNA ligase and ssDNA ligase activity. In certain embodiments, such hyper-thermostable lysine-mutant ssDNA/RNA ligases are used to ligate an first single stranded nucleic acid sequence with a 5 adenylated end to a second single stranded nucleic acid sequence (e.g., at a temperature of at least 75 C.) to form a ligated nucleic acid sequence. In further embodiments, the ligated nucleic acid sequence is sequenced.

The present invention relates to methods and products for the localized or spatial detection of nucleic acid in a tissue sample and in particular to a method for localized detection of nucleic acid in a tissue sample comprising: (a) providing an array comprising a substrate on which multiple species of capture probes are directly or indirectly immobilized such that each species occupies a distinct position on the array and is oriented to have a free 3 end to enable said probe to function as a primer for a primer extension or ligation reaction, wherein each species of said capture probe comprises a nucleic acid molecule with 5 to 3: (i) a positional domain that corresponds to the position of the capture probe on the array, and (ii) a capture domain; (b) contacting said array with a tissue sample such that the position of a capture probe on the array may be correlated with a position in the tissue sample and allowing nucleic acid of the tissue sample to hybridize to the capture domain in said capture probes; (c) generating DNA molecules from the captured nucleic acid molecules using said capture probes as extension or ligation primers, wherein said extended or ligated DNA molecules are tagged by virtue of the positional domain; (d) optionally generating a complementary strand of said tagged DNA and/or optionally amplifying said tagged DNA; (e) releasing at least part of the tagged DNA molecules and/or their complements or amplicons from the surface of the array, wherein said part includes the positional domain or a complement thereof; and (f) directly or indirectly analyzing the sequence of the released DNA molecules.
