The invention provides methods for assessment of fetal DNA samples using target-enriched multiplexed parallel analysis. The methods of the invention utilize Target Capture Sequences (TACS) to thereby enrich for target sequences of interest, followed by massive parallel sequencing and statistical analysis of the enriched population. The methods can be used with fetal or embryonic DNA samples, for example for the detection of the presence of genetic abnormalities, e.g., for purposes of IVF Pre-implantation Genetic Screening (PGS) and Diagnosis (PGD). Kits for carrying out the methods of the invention are also provided.

Disclosed is a method for sequencing a nucleotide sequence of a target nucleic acid. The method comprises: providing a pool of amplicons, wherein the pool of amplicons is prepared by attaching a unique identifier to the target nucleic acid, and amplifying by PCR the target nucleic acid to which the unique identifier is attached; and sequencing the amplicons comprising the unique identifier and the target nucleic acid. In the method, a nucleotide sequence of the unique identifier comprises both a random nucleotide (N) and a predetermined nucleotide.
