Use of class IIB restriction endonucleases in 2^ndgeneration sequencing applications

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for genotyping DNA molecules contained in at least one DNA sample. The method includes: (a) digesting the DNA molecules contained in at least one DNA sample with a class IIB restriction endonuclease to generate DNA fragments; (b) optionally separating DNA fragments comprising the recognition site for the class IIB restriction endonuclease from the remaining DNA fragments; (c) attaching at least one adaptor DNA to the 5′ and/or 3′ end of one or both strands of the DNA fragments comprising the recognition site for the class IIB restriction endonuclease obtained in a) or separated in b) to form adaptor-fragment constructs; (d) determining the sequence of at least a fraction of the DNA fragments obtained in c); and (e) assigning genotypes to the at least one DNA sample analyzed based on the sequence data obtained in d). The present invention further relates to method for determining the position of DNA molecules comprised in a DNA library within the DNA sequence represented by the DNA library or within a known DNA sequence and for establishing a cross-reference between individual DNA molecules and their location in an at least three dimensional matrix.

1. A method for genotyping DNA molecules contained in at least one DNA sample, the DNA molecules comprising a recognition site for a class IIB restriction endonuclease, the method comprising:
(i) digesting the DNA molecules contained in at least one DNA sample with a class IIB restriction endonuclease to generate DNA fragments, each of the DNA fragments having a 3′ end and a 5′ end; (ii) optionally separating DNA fragments comprising the recognition site for said class IIB restriction endonuclease from the DNA fragments without the recognition site for the class IIB restriction endonuclease; (iii) attaching at least one adaptor DNA to the 5′ end or the 3′ end, or both the 5′ and the 3′ ends, of one or both strands of the DNA fragments comprising the recognition site for said class IIB restriction endonuclease obtained in (i) or separated in (ii) to form adaptor-fragment constructs, wherein said attaching of the adaptor DNA is carried out using the method of attaching different DNA adaptors to the 3′ and the 5′ end of a DNA molecule comprising: a) attaching a poly-dNTP strand terminated by ddNTP to each 3′ end of a single- or double-stranded DNA molecule, wherein all dNTPs are the same and wherein N in ddNTP is not N in dNTP; b) annealing a primer comprising a 3′ poly-dNTP strand complementary to the poly-dNTP strand attached in a), wherein the N in the 3′ terminal dNTP is different from the N of the remaining poly-dNTP strand, to the nucleic acid strand of b), wherein the 5′ end of said primer is blocked; c) removing the unpaired nucleotides of the poly-dNTP strand produced in a) and filling-in the 3′ ends of both DNA strands to form blunt ended double stranded DNA fragments; d) adding a dNMP to the 3′ end of each DNA strand; e) ligating to each double strand having a 3′ dNMP overhang and a 5′ phosphate a double stranded DNA adaptor having a 3′ dNMP overhang complementary to the 3′ overhang of said double strand; and, optionally, f) amplifying the DNA obtained in e); (iv) determining a nucleic acid sequence data of at least a fraction of the DNA fragments obtained in (iii); and (v) assigning genotypes to said at least one DNA sample analysed based on the sequence data obtained in (iv).
