Abstract
A method for prioritizing sequencing of nucleic acid molecules from two or more sources, comprising: (i) ligating one or more ends of each of a plurality of nucleic acid molecules to an adapter, wherein the adaptor is unique to each source and comprises a unique identifier nucleic acid sequence; (ii) pooling the nucleic acid molecules from each of the two or more sources; (iii) sequencing a plurality of nucleotides of an identifier nucleic acid sequence of an adapter; (iv) determining in real-time from which of the two or more sources the nucleic acid molecule being sequenced came; (v) determining, from a prioritization rule set and based on the determined source, a sequencing priority for the nucleic acid molecule; and (vi) allowing the sequencing process to proceed, or modifying the sequencing process, based on the determined sequencing priority.
