The invention is a novel method of generating a library of circular single stranded nucleic acid molecules by utilizing circular capture molecules. The method is not limited by size of target nucleic acid molecules and can potentially accommodate very long molecules. The method finds application in nucleic acid sequencing, e.g., nanopore sequencing where unlimited-length templates can be read.

Single stranded circular DNA libraries for circular consensus sequencing

The invention is a novel method of making and using a template for nucleic acid sequencing. The templates include circular and linear templates with symmetric and asymmetric adaptors. The methods include utilizing the templates in an asymmetric fashion.

Methods and compositions for the amplification of nucleic acids are disclosed. Amplification methods provided herein may be performed under isothermal conditions. Methods and compositions may include reagents such as nucleic acid polymerases, ligases, and primers.

Asymmetric templates and asymmetric method of nucleic acid sequencing

Improved methods for amplifying target nucleic acid sequences are provided by 1) first amplifying the number of copies of target nucleic acid sequences in a sample by a first nucleic acid amplification method, and then 2) applying a second nucleic amplification method to the amplified sample, or aliquot thereof, further amplifying the number of copies of target sequences. In embodiments, a first nucleic acid amplification method is a thermocycling method, and a second nucleic acid amplification method is an isothermal method.

Hybrid multi-step nucleic acid amplification

Systems, methods, and devices for detecting infections in a clinical sample are provided. Small-volume clinical samples obtained at a point-of-service (POS) location and may be tested at the POS location for multiple markers for multiple diseases, including upper and lower respiratory diseases. Samples may be tested for cytokines, or for inflammation indicators. Dilution of samples, or levels of detection, may be determined by the condition or past history of a subject. Test results may be obtained within a short amount of time after sample placement in a testing device, or within a short amount of time after being obtained from the subject. A prescription for treatment of a detected disorder may be provided, and may be filled, at the POS location. A bill may be automatically generated for the testing, or for the prescription, may be automatically sent to an insurance provider, and payment may be automatically obtained.

Systems and methods for detecting infectious diseases

Methods and compositions for the identification of genetic-related information are provided. At least portions of methods provided herein may be performed without thermocycling. Methods and compositions may include reagents such as nucleic acid polymerases and primers.
