Abstract

Embodiments provided herein relate to methods and compositions for preparing an immobilized library of barcoded DNA fragments of a target nucleic acid, identifying genomic variants, determining the contiguity information, phasing information, and methylation status of the target nucleic acid.

Claims (17)

1 . A method for maintaining contiguity information of a double-stranded target nucleic acid, the method comprising:

(a) providing a plurality of solid supports each having a plurality of transposome complexes immobilized thereon, wherein the plurality of transposome complexes each comprises more than one transposome monomeric unit, wherein a first transposome monomeric units is linked to a second transposome monomeric unit to form an individual transposome complex, and wherein an individual transposome monomeric unit comprises a transposase bound to a polynucleotide, said polynucleotide comprising:

(i) a 3′ portion comprising a transposon end sequence, and

(ii) a first adaptor comprising a first barcode sequence;

(b) applying double-stranded target nucleic acids to the plurality of solid supports, wherein the plurality of transposome complexes on a respective solid support of the plurality of solid supports bind to a plurality of portions of an individual double-stranded target nucleic acid under conditions whereby the individual double-stranded target nucleic acid is fragmented into double-stranded target nucleic acid fragments by the plurality of transposome complexes such that the contiguity of the individual double-stranded target nucleic acid is maintained, wherein the transposon end sequence of the polynucleotide is transferred to a 5′ end of at least one strand of the double-stranded target nucleic acid fragments, thereby producing an immobilized library of double-stranded target nucleic acid fragments wherein at least the one strand is 5′-tagged with the first barcode sequence, wherein a plurality of first barcode sequences on the respective solid support comprise the same nucleic acid sequence, and wherein a nucleic acid sequence of the plurality of first barcode sequences on the respective solid support differs from a nucleic acid sequence of a plurality of first barcode sequences from other solid supports of the plurality of solid supports;

(c) determining a sequence based on the double-stranded target nucleic acid fragments and associated first barcode sequences; and

(d) determining the contiguity information of the double-stranded target nucleic acids by identifying the first barcode sequences.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the contiguity information of the double-stranded target nucleic acid is indicative of genomic variants selected from the group consisting of deletions, translocations, interchromosomal gene fusions, duplications, and paralogs.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the double-stranded target nucleic acid fragments comprising the first barcodes are amplified prior to determining the sequence of the target nucleic acid fragments.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein plurality of solid supports comprises beads.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first adaptor further comprises a first primer binding sequence.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the double-stranded target nucleic acid is from a single cell.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the double-stranded target nucleic acid is from a single organelle.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the double-stranded target nucleic acid comprises genomic DNA.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the double-stranded target nucleic acid is cross-linked to another nucleic acid.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the double-stranded target nucleic acid comprises cell-free tumor DNA.

11 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the double-stranded target nucleic acid comprises cDNA.
