PAGE TITLE
Overview
PAGE SUMMARY
This innovation is a high-accuracy, low-cost, customizable genome sequencing method compatible with several long-read sequencing systems. It can be used to tailor target specific genomic sequencing increasing custom product offerings for sequencing service provider and kit manufacturer customers.
This technology introduces a novel approach for generating sequence-linked DNA fragments using a combination of nicking endonucleases and sgRNA libraries for de novo long-read genome sequencing. It leverages the precision of CRISPR-associated endonucleases and strand-displacing polymerases to create linked-paired-end DNA fragments, streamlining the sequencing library preparation process and enhancing genome assembly accuracy.
