    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a method of detecting invasive tumor in a subject and a method of treating a subject with cancer based on invasiveness of tumor. In various embodiments, the method of detecting tumor invasiveness includes denaturing genomic DNA isolated from a tumor sample obtained from the subject; renaturing the denatured DNA for tumor DNA palindrome to form a snap back DNA; digesting the renatured DNA with a nuclease that digests single strand DNA; amplifying the tumor DNA palindrome by adapter ligation-mediated polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with genome-wide analysis of Palindrome Formation (GAPF); performing a sequence scan across multiple samples of the amplified tumor DNA palindrome; mapping reads of GAPF-seq from the sequence scan into a plurality of bins; quantifying reads in each bin; and determining whether the tumor sample is an invasive tumor based on GAPF profiles generated by analyzing the quantified reads in each bin.

    Abstract: Described herein are methods of preparing an enriched library of nucleic acids, comprising: (a) identifying a panel of patient-specific somatic variants present in a tumor sample from a patient, wherein the somatic variants comprise one or more of (i) tumor somatic variants, (ii) non-tumor somatic variants, and (iii) germline sites incorrectly identified as somatic; (b) preparing a sample of cell-free DNA fragments from the patient for sequencing; (c) selectively enriching the cell-free DNA for the fragments comprising one or more of the somatic variants to generate an enriched library; and (d) analyzing the enriched library by generating sequencing reads for each somatic variant position, wherein analyzing comprises applying a classification model to the somatic variants to classify each somatic variant as either tumor, non-tumor, or germline variants.

    Abstract: The invention is directed to a method to synthesize oligonucleotides on the surface of a biological sample comprising the steps a. Binding a plurality of primer molecules to spatial locations on the surface of the biological sample with a stochastic surface distribution thereby creating a oligonucleotides bound to the biological sample b. providing the biological sample with A, T, C or G nucleotides having a protecting unit at their 3′ positions c. incorporating one of the A, T, C or G nucleotides having a protecting unit at their 3′ positions at the 3′end of at least one oligonucleotides bound to the biological sample by addition of a terminal transferase thereby extending the oligonucleotides d. adding at least one photo-activated cleave agent capable of removing the protection unit from the incorporated protected nucleotide e. removing the protecting unit from the incorporated protected nucleotide by activating the photo-activated cleave agent with light provided to at least one spatial location of the biological sample f. Repeating steps b) to e) to incorporate further nucleotides to at least one oligonucleotide.

    Abstract: Provided are methods of producing size-selected nucleic acid libraries. The methods include contacting a nucleic acid sample and a nucleic acid binding reagent including an affinity tag, under conditions in which nucleic acids of less than a desired length are substantially bound to the nucleic acid binding reagent and nucleic acids of the desired length are substantially not bound to the nucleic acid binding reagent. The conditions include the duration of the contacting, the concentration of the nucleic acid binding reagent, or both. The methods further include separating, using the affinity tag, the nucleic acids of less than the desired length bound to the nucleic acid binding reagent from the nucleic acids of the desired length not bound to the nucleic acid binding reagent, to produce a size-selected nucleic acid library. Compositions and kits that find use, e.g., in practicing the methods of the present disclosure, are also provided.
