    Abstract: Rapid methods, capable of being performed in a single reaction tube, are described herein for constructing libraries for high-throughput polynucleotide sequencing applications, such as next generation sequencing (NGS) applications. Oligonucleotide probes include chemically-active groups at their 5′ or 3′ ends, or both, to facilitate the cleavage of their 5′ or 3′ ends, or both, following their hybridization to the single-stranded ends of frayed template fragments. Cleavage of probe ends reveal single-stranded regions at the ends of the hybridized fragments. Adaptors, specific to these ends, are ligated to the hybridized probe/template fragments, and blunt end fragments are ligated to blunt ends of hybridized probe/template fragments, if present, to generate the adaptor-ligated fragments of the library.

    Abstract: Described herein is a method of preparing an unbiased library of phage variants, comprising (a) preparing a population of “acceptor phage”; (b) removing an endogenous target gene and inserting gene variants into the acceptor phage genomes; (c) enriching the recombined phages; and (d) expressing the library for selection. The acceptor phage is a lytic phage comprising a synthetic genome wherein the target gene of interest is flanked by recombinase sites. The acceptor phage infects a first host bacteria expressing a recombination plasmid facilitating recombination. The phages then infect a second host bacteria expressing a counterselection system that accumulates recombined phage variants and selecting against non-recombined phages. The accumulated phage variants infect a third host bacteria. The phage library may then be sequenced and characterized.
