Provided herein, among other things, is a conjugate comprising a polymerase and a nucleoside triphosphate, where the polymerase and the nucleoside triphosphate are covalently linked via a linker that comprises a cleavable linkage. A set of such conjugates, where the conjugates correspond to G, A, T (or U) and C is also provided. Methods for synthesizing a nucleic acid of a defined sequence are also provided. The conjugates can also be used for sequencing applications.

The present invention relates to a method of isolating a nucleic acid target region from a population of nucleic acid molecules, said method comprising the steps of a) contacting said population of nucleic acid molecules with a Class 2 Type V Cas protein-gRNA complex, wherein the gRNA comprises a guide segment that is complementary to a first site adjacent to said target region, thereby forming a Class 2 Type V Cas protein-gRNA-nucleic acid complex, b) contacting the population of nucleic acid molecules comprising said Class 2 Type V Cas protein-gRNA-nucleic acid complex with at least one enzyme having single-strand 3′ to 5′ exonuclease activity, thereby forming a 5′ single-stranded overhang in said first site, c) removing the Class 2 Type V Cas protein-gRNA complex from the population of step b), d) contacting the population of step c) with an oligonucleotide probe, said probe comprising a sequence that is at least partially complementary to said overhang, thereby forming a duplex between said probe and said overhang, and e) isolating said duplex from the population of nucleic acid molecules of step d), thereby isolating said nucleic acid target region.
