The disclosed embodiments concern methods for determining sequences of interest using targeted unique molecular index (TUMI) sequences that are uniquely associated with individual polynucleotide fragments in plants, such as those present in a transgenic event, a site-specific mutation or a wild type variant. System, apparatus, and computer program products are also provided for determining a sequence of interest implementing the methods disclosed.

Detection of sequences uniquely associated with a DNA target region

Compositions and methods for controlling pests are provided. The methods involve transforming organisms with a nucleic acid sequence encoding an insecticidal protein. In particular, the nucleic acid sequences are useful for preparing plants and microorganisms that possess insecticidal activity. Thus, transformed bacteria, plants, plant cells, plant tissues and seeds are provided. Compositions are insecticidal nucleic acids and proteins of bacterial species. The sequences find use in the construction of expression vectors for subsequent transformation into organisms of interest including plants, as probes for the isolation of other homologous (or partially homologous) genes. The pesticidal proteins find use in controlling, inhibiting growth or killing Lepidopteran, Coleopteran, Dipteran, fungal, Hemipteran and nematode pest populations and for producing compositions with insecticidal activity.

Methods for the high-throughput analysis of transgenic events are herein disclosed. The methods use libraries of sheared genomic DNA ligated to specialized adapters and pooled for sequence analysis and comparison to known genomic and insert sequence. The method finds use in detecting characterizing insertion site, transgene integrity, and transgene copy number.
