PRESERVING SPATIAL-PROXIMAL CONTIGUITY AND MOLECULAR CONTIGUITY IN NUCLEIC ACID TEMPLATES

摘要

Provided herein are methods and compositions for preparing nucleic acid templates wherein spatial- proximal and molecular contiguity of target nucleic acids is preserved, and the sequencing data obtained therefrom is used, but not limited to, identification of genomic variants, determination of contiguity information to inform assemblies of target nucleic acids de novo including deconvolution of haplotype phase information, and analyses of conformation and topology of target nucleic acids.
