Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention provides methods, compositions and kits for segregating a target nucleic acid from a mixed nucleic acid sample. The methods, compositions and kits comprise a non-processive endonuclease (e.g., a restriction enzyme) or an antibody that binds the target nucleic acid (e.g., has methylation specificity). The mixed nucleic acid sample can comprise prokaryotic and eukaryotic nucleic acid and/or nucleic acid from more than one prokaryotic or eukaryotic organisms.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed: 1. A kit for segregating a target nucleic acid from a mixed sample containing a target nucleic acid and a non-target nucleic acid, comprising: (i) a non-processive endonuclease that binds to the target nucleic acid, but does not cleave the target nucleic acid; and (ii) a buffer having conditions suitable for the non-processive endonuclease to bind the target nucleic acid, but not cleave the target nucleic acid; wherein the buffer contains a Ca2+ concentration of…
