Patent attributes
In some aspects, provided herein are methods for analyzing a nucleic acid comprising first and second regions of interest flanking an adaptor region, comprising hybridizing an anchor to the adaptor region, analyzing the first region of interest from one end of the anchor using probe ligation (e.g., sequencing-by-ligation), and binding a polymerase to the other end of the anchor and optionally incorporating a nucleotide and/or analog thereof into the anchor by the polymerase using the second region of interest or a probe bound thereto as a template. In some embodiments, the second region of interest is used as a template for sequencing-by-synthesis. In some embodiments, spatially resolved detections of analytes are performed at a cellular or sub-cellular resolution which involve correlating signals associated with analytes with specific spatial locations in a biological sample.
