Methods of barcoding nucleic acids, such as genomic DNA, are provided herein. In some embodiments, a fragment of genomic DNA may comprise a first and a second barcode.

Barcoding nucleic acids

Provided herein are compositions for and methods of generating ligation-competent nucleic acids. In some aspects, the compositions comprise Exonuclease III, T4 DNA Polymerase, Klenow, and/or T4 polynucleotide kinase.

Methods and compositions for repair of DNA ends by multiple enzymatic activities

The present invention regards a variety of methods and compositions for obtaining epigenetic information, such as DNA methylation patterns, through the preparation, amplification and analysis of Methylome libraries. In particular, the method employs preparation of a DNA molecule by digesting the DNA molecule with at least one methylation-sensitive restriction enzyme; incorporating a nucleic acid molecule into at least some of the digested DNA molecules by either (1) incorporating at least one primer from a plurality of primers that have a 5' constant sequence and a 3&#x2032; variable sequence, wherein the primers are substantially non-self-complementary and substantially non-complementary to other primers in the plurality; or (2) incorporating an oligonucleotide having an inverted repeat and a loop under conditions wherein the oligonucleotide becomes blunt-end ligated to one strand of the digested DNA molecule, followed by polymerization from a 3&#x2032; hydroxyl group present in a nick in the oligonucleotide-linked molecule; and amplifying one or more of the DNA molecules.
