Abstract
Described herein are methods, compositions, and kits for library quantitation and qualification. Some embodiments relate to a method of library quantitation. For example, the method may include providing DNA fragments, amplifying the DNA fragments by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in the presence of primers each labeled with a fluorophore. In these instances, only a predetermined number of fluorophores are attached to each DNA fragment. The method may further include detecting a fluorescent signal produced by the amplified DNA fragments and calculating a number of the amplified DNA fragments based on the detected fluorescent signal.
Claims (27)
1 . A method of library quantitation, the method comprising:
providing DNA fragments;
amplifying the DNA fragments by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in the presence of at least one primer, with at least one primer labeled with a fluorophore, resulting in a number of amplified labeled DNA fragments each with a predetermined number of fluorophores being attached to each amplified labeled DNA fragment;
detecting a fluorescent signal produced from the fluorophores attached to the amplified labeled DNA fragments;
calculating the number of amplified DNA fragments based on the detected fluorescent signal;
diluting the amplified labeled DNA fragments based on the calculated number of amplified labeled DNA fragments to a predetermined concentration to prepare diluted amplified labeled DNA fragments; and
sequencing the amplified labeled DNA fragments in clusters using fluorescence-based next generation sequencing.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
prior to the detecting the signal produced by the amplified labeled DNA fragments, removing primers that are not incorporated into the amplified labeled DNA fragments in preparation for fluorescent sequencing.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one primer comprises a first primer type and a second primer type, and the first primer type has a single fluorophore attached.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein a single fluorophore is attached to each labeled DNA fragment.
5 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the detecting the signal produced by the amplified labeled DNA fragments comprises detecting the fluorescent signal produced by fluorophores incorporated into the amplified DNA fragments using a fluorometer.
6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
generating a standard curve indicating a relationship between number of DNA fragments derived from a reference sample and fluorescent signals produced by the amplified labeled DNA fragments.
7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the calculating the number of the amplified labeled DNA fragments based on the detected signal comprises calculating the number of the amplified labeled DNA fragments based on the detected fluorescent signal and the standard curve.
8 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
taking a second measurement to determine a characteristic of the amplified labeled DNA fragments.
9 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising: determining total mass of DNA in a sample.
10 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the characteristic of the amplified labeled DNA fragments comprises an average size of the amplified labeled DNA fragment derived from the ratio between number of fragments and mass of DNA.
11 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the DNA fragments comprise at least one adapter, and the primers are complementary to the adapter.
12 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
obtaining a blood or plasma sample from a patient, the sample comprising a nucleic acid of interest; and
obtaining the DNA fragments to be provided from the nucleic acid of interest from the blood or plasma sample from the patient.
13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein obtaining the DNA fragments comprises fragmenting the nucleic acid of interest from the sample.
14 . The method of claim 12 , further comprising attaching a barcode and adaptors to the DNA fragments.
15 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the providing step includes synthesizing complementary DNA (cDNA) from one or more messenger RNA (mRNA) templates.
16 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one primer labeled with a fluorophore further includes a quencher and the primer has a hairpin structure such that when the primer anneals to a template, spacing between the fluorophore and quencher is increased such that the fluorophore may be detected.
