Abstract
The invention provides methods of selecting polynucleotides based on their size in globular form. The polynucleotides may be treated with a condensation medium. e.g. comprising polyethylene glycol. e.g. PEG8000, and salt, in order to adopt a globular form. The method may employing filtering in order to retain the larger nucleic acids and make the larger nucleic acids available for sequencing applications, such as nanopore sequencing. The invention also relates to kits for selecting polynucleotides.
