IDENTIFICATION OF A NUCLEIC ACID TEMPLATE IN A MULTIPLEX SEQUENCING REACTION

摘要

The invention generally relates to methods for maintaining the integrity and identification of a nucleic acid template in a multiplex sequencing reaction. In certain embodiments, methods of the invention involve obtaining a solution including a template nucleic acid, introducing an identifier nucleic acid to the solution, incorporating the same barcode sequence into the template and the identifier nucleic acids, and sequencing the template and the identifier nucleic acids.
