Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to a method of preparing a 5′ and 3′ modified library of template polynucleotides and also the use of the 5′ and 3′ modified library of templates in methods of solid-phase nucleic acid amplification. In particular, the invention relates to a method of preparing a 5′ and 3′ modified library of template polynucleotides which have common sequences at their 5′ ends and at their 3′ ends, wherein over-representation of “end” sequences of the primary polynucleotide molecules from when the 5′ and 3′ modified library is generated is greatly reduced or prevented.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of reducing representation of the ends of a primary polynucleotide sequence in a library of fragments generated from said primary polynucleotide sequence, the method comprising: a) performing an amplification reaction with a modified forward primer and a modified reverse primer to introduce a modification at or near each 5′ terminus of a double-stranded primary polynucleotide sequence, said modification configured to prevent fragments originat…
