Disclosed herein are di-modal DNA libraries comprising enriched DNA molecules and unenriched DNA molecules and methods for preparing di-modal DNA libraries and uses thereof. The di-modal DNA libraries are prepared in a single workflow, without the need to combine separately prepared enriched and unenriched DNA libraries, for both low-pass and high-pass sequencing.

Compositions and methods are provided for forming a single RNA polynucleotide from a plurality of DNA oligonucleotides in a single reaction chamber using combined reagents in a single step reaction. DNA polymerase, RNA polymerase and single stranded (ss) DNA oligonucleotides are combined where each DNA oligonucleotide has one or more sequence modules, wherein one sequence module in the first ss DNA oligonucleotide is complementary to a sequence module at the 3 end of the second ss DNA oligonucleotide; and wherein a second module on the first ss DNA oligonucleotide is an RNA polymerase promoter sequence; and forming a single RNA polynucleotide, excluding the RNA promoter sequence, derived from the first and second DNA oligonucleotides.

The present disclosure provides compositions comprising nucleic acid single-stranded splint strands, including kits, and methods that employ the single-stranded splint strands. The single-stranded splint strands can hybridize to portions of linear library molecules to form circularized library-splint complexes having a nick, where the nick can be ligated to form covalently closed circular molecules which can be subjected to downstream amplification and sequencing workflows.

The present disclosure provides compositions comprising nucleic acid double-stranded splint adaptors, including kits, and methods that employ the double-stranded splint adaptors. The double-stranded splint adaptors (200) can be used in a one-pot, multi-enzyme reaction to introduce one or more new adaptor sequences into a library molecule. The double-stranded splint adaptor (200) comprises a first splint strand (long splint strand (300)) and a second splint strand (short splint strand (400)), where the first and second splint strands are hybridized together to form the double-stranded splint adaptor (200) having a double-stranded region and two flanking single-stranded regions. The second splint strand (400) carries the new adaptor sequence(s) to be introduced, such as for example a universal binding sequence and/or an index sequence.

Provided are a rolling circle amplification method, a method for preparing a sequencing library, and a DNA nanoball prepared therefrom. The rolling circle amplification method includes: sequentially denaturing and annealing a double-stranded DNA and a mediating sequence in a same system, to complementarily pair the mediating sequence with two ends of a denatured single-stranded DNA; simultaneously introducing a ligase and a polymerase into the system to connect the two ends of the single-stranded DNA under action of the ligase; and performing a rolling circle amplification reaction under action of the polymerase by using the mediating sequence as a primer and the single-stranded DNA as a template, to obtain DNA nanoball.

Provided herein are compositions and methods for generating libraries for high throughput sequencing without using ligation, and methods of using same.

Disclosed herein are compositions and methods related to the fast and efficient generation of cDNA library from RNA. The method allows integration of the method in an automation adaptable system.

Disclosed herein, inter alia, are methods and compositions for detecting a plurality of nucleic acids in a sample including a cell or tissue. The methods may include amplifying nucleic acid molecules in the sample and detecting the amplified nucleic acid molecules in the sample.

The present technology relates to methods for determining whether a patient having thyroid nodules with indeterminate cytology will benefit from diagnostic surgery, e.g., lobectomy. These methods are based on screening a patient's thyroid nodules and detecting alterations in target nucleic acid sequences corresponding to a specific set of thyroid cancer-related genes. Kits for use in practicing the methods are also provided.

Disclosed herein, inter alia, are methods and compositions for sequencing a plurality of template nucleic acids. In an aspect is provided a method of sequencing an overlapping amplification cluster, a method of sequencing different polynucleotide immobilized on a solid support, and a method of sequencing three or more populations of polynucleotides on a solid support.
