Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for identifying one or more polymorphisms in nucleic acid samples, comprising: (a) performing a reproducible complexity reduction on a plurality of nucleic acid samples to provide a plurality of libraries of the nucleic acid samples comprising amplified fragments, wherein the reproducible complexity reduction comprises amplifying fragments of the nucleic acid samples using one or more primers to obtain the amplified fragments, and wherein the amplified fragments in each library comprise a unique identifier sequence to indicate origin of each library obtained by the reproducible complexity reduction; (b) combining the plurality of libraries to obtain a combined library and sequencing at least a portion of the combined library to obtain sequences; (c) aligning the sequences to obtain an alignment; and (d) identifying one or more polymorphisms in the plurality of nucleic acid samples.

Claim (Index 22):
A method for identifying one or more genetic variations, comprising:\n (a) performing reproducible complexity reduction on a plurality of nucleic acid samples to provide a plurality of libraries of complexity reduced nucleic acids, wherein the reproducible complexity reduction of each nucleic acid sample comprises (i) ligation of adaptors to nucleic acids to obtain adaptor-ligated nucleic acids, (ii) amplification of the adaptor-ligated nucleic acids using one or more primers to obtain amplified adaptor-ligated nucleic acids, and (iii) enrichment using biotinylated oligonucleotide probes to capture a subset of the amplified adaptor-ligated nucleic acids; (b) ligating sequencing adapters carrying a 3\u2032-T overhang to the plurality of libraries of complexity reduced nucleic acids; (c) combining the plurality of libraries to obtain a pool, wherein the complexity reduced nucleic acids of each library in the pool are tagged with a unique sample identifier sequence; (d) performing high-throughput sequencing to sequence at least a portion of the pool to obtain sequences, wherein the high-throughput sequencing is performed on a solid support and comprises annealing nucleic acids to the solid support and amplifying the annealed nucleic acids; (e) aligning the sequences obtained by high-throughput sequencing to obtain an alignment, and identifying one or more genetic variations in the plurality of nucleic acid samples using the alignment.
