LONG INSERT-BASED WHOLE GENOME SEQUENCING

摘要

The present invention is directed to a method of detecting a genomic rearrangement in a nucleic acid sample with Long Insert Whole Genome Sequencing (LI-WGS). The method may include obtaining a nucleic acid sample and then fragmenting the nucleic acid sample (e.g., via sonication). In particular, the fragmenting may result in the production of a plurality of inserts. Thereafter, the method comprises purifying the plurality of inserts using magnetic beads and then amplifying the purified plurality of inserts. In addition, the method further comprises sequencing the purified and amplified plurality of inserts. In some aspects, the plurality of inserts have a length of between about 800 and about 1,100 base pairs.
