Provided are a method for screening for nanobodies and a corresponding system. The method uses polymerase chain reactions and cDNA 5′ end rapid amplification technology to screen for and obtain nanobodies. The experiment cycle requires only approximately 21 days.

A method for constructing a sequencing library based on a single-stranded DNA molecule is provided comprising: (1) forming a poly(C)n tail at a 3′-terminus of the single-stranded DNA molecule, to obtain a single-stranded DNA molecule with the poly(C)n tail with n representing a number of base C, and n being an integer ranging from 5 to 30; (2) obtaining a double-stranded DNA molecule by using an extension primer based on the single-stranded DNA molecule with the poly(C)n tail, with the extension primer comprising a H(G)m unit at a 3′-terminus thereof, H being base A, base T or base C, m being a number of base G, and m being an integer ranging from 5 to 15; and (3) ligating an adapter to one terminus of the double-stranded DNA molecule remote from the H(G)m unit, and amplifying the resulting ligation product to obtain an amplification product forming the sequencing library.

Provided are methods and systems useful for screening large libraries of effector molecules. Such methods and systems are particularly useful in microfluidic systems and devices. The methods and systems provided herein utilize encoded effectors to screen large libraries of effectors.

The present invention provides a method for constructing a next-generation sequencing library for detecting low-frequency mutations, and a kit thereof. The constructing method comprises steps of obtaining blunt-end DNA fragments, obtaining DNA fragments with A-tail at the 3′ end, obtaining adapter-added DNA fragments using a specific nucleotide sequence and obtaining amplification products using a specific nucleotide sequence.

Methods are provided for multiplexed amplification of selected targets and analysis of the amplified targets. In preferred aspects the amplification and analysis take place on the same solid support and preferably in a localized area such as a bead or a feature of an array. Targets are circularized by hybridization to probes followed by ligation of the ends of the target to form a closed circle. The targets are then used as template for extension of an array bound probe resulting in extended probes having multiple copies of the target. The extended probes can then be analyzed. The methods may be used for genotyping, sequencing and analysis of copy number.

Provided herein are compositions and methods for preserving proximity data in nucleic acid samples, by embedding indexing information in the samples prior to fragmentation. Further provided herein are transposon libraries for generating such indexed nucleic acid samples.
