Disclosed herein are methods, compositions and systems that facilitate accurate phasing of sequence data such as genomic sequence data through the segmentation and rearrangement of nucleic acid molecules in such a way as to preserve individual molecules' phase or physical linkage information. This is variously accomplished by binding molecules independent of their phosphodiester backbones, cleaving the molecules, ligating, and sequencing the molecules through long-read sequencing technology to recover segment sequence information spanning at least more than one segment.

Generation of phased read-sets for genome assembly and haplotype phasing

The disclosure provides for methods to form compact cross-linked polynucleotide/protein structures that can then be labeled using a barcoded oligonucleotide array in order to reconstruct physical linkage and/or genomic proximity (and phase) of polynucleotide fragments.

Methods for labeling DNA fragments to reconstruct physical linkage and phase

Various approaches for generating read-sets from nucleic acid molecules and segments and phasing are disclosed. Nucleic acids are assembled into complexes using binding moieties and exposed nucleic acid ends are tagged with nucleic acid tags. Read-sets can be generated from tagged nucleic acid molecules and segments. Physical linkage relationships between nucleic acid molecules and segments can be examined using the nucleic acid tags. Various approaches to generating read-sets and phasing are presented.
