The invention is a novel method of sequencing nucleic acids involving making and sequencing a library of single stranded circular target nucleic acids.

Generation of single-stranded circular DNA templates for single molecule sequencing

The invention is a novel method of separately sequencing each strand of a nucleic acid involving the use of an adaptor comprising a strand cleavage site or a strand synthesis termination site. The adaptor may also be self-priming at the strand cleavage site.

The invention is a novel method of making and using a library such as a sequencing library of single stranded circular nucleic acid templates via splint ligation. In particular, disclosed are methods of making circular target nucleic acid molecules and libraries of such molecules for downstream analysis such as nucleic acid sequencing. The method comprises the steps of adding universal sequences to nucleic acid molecules, rendering single-stranded these nucleic acid molecules with universal sequences on their ends by contacting with a probe complementary to at least a portion of the universal sequences, and allowing the hybridized probe to enable circularization and formation of single-stranded circular (sscDNA) molecules.

Hybridization-extension-ligation strategy for generating circular single-stranded DNA libraries

Methods for the rapid detection of the presence or absence of mecC-containing(mecC-MRSA) in a biological or non-biological sample are described. The methods can include performing an amplifying step, a hybridizing step, and a detecting step. Furthermore, primers, probes targeting the genes for mecC-MRSA, along with kits are provided that are designed for the detection of mecC-MRSA.
