Primer-Free Aptamer Selection Using A Random DNA Library

SELEX protocols comprise multiple rounds of selection, each of which require regeneration of bound ligands, which in turn require fixed primer sequences flanking the random library regions. These fixed primer sequences can interfere with the selection process (false positives and negatives). Here we present a primer-free protocol.

Barcode Enabled Sequencing of Tetrads (BEST) replaces the manual processes of isolating, disrupting and spacing tetrads. BEST isolates tetrads by fluorescence-activated cell sorting onto agar plates, separates the spores by agitation with glass beads, and determines which randomly arrayed colonies were derived from the same original tetrad using molecular barcodes.

Methods for generating large-scale gRNA libraries should be simple, efficient and cost-effective. We describe a protocol for the production of gRNA libraries based on enzymatic digestion of target DNA. This method, CORALINA (comprehensive gRNA library generation through controlled nuclease activity) presents an alternative to costly custom oligonucleotide synthesis.

FAQs
Each barcode provides a nucleotide-level identifier that can be associated with a fragment, sample, or experimental condition. After sequencing, reads are matched computationally to those identifiers, allowing pooled material to be separated into its original analytical groups. This assignment preserves the relationship between sequence data and the biological source or condition being studied.
Barcode sequences can be incorporated during library preparation through adapter ligation or amplification. These steps connect the identifying sequence with the DNA fragment before pooled sequencing occurs. Because both routes are supported, the barcode becomes part of the prepared library and remains available for computational matching when the resulting reads are analyzed.
Unique nucleotide sequences allow multiple fragments, samples, or conditions to be tracked within a shared sequencing pool. Computational separation then assigns reads to the appropriate group instead of requiring each group to be processed independently. This organization can reduce reagent use while preserving sample identity and making larger experiments more manageable.
A typical workflow begins by preparing DNA fragments and incorporating barcode sequences through adapter ligation or amplification. The barcoded material is then pooled for sequencing. Once reads are generated, computational analysis matches them with their corresponding barcodes, separates the pooled data, and supports downstream analysis of the relevant fragments or experimental groups.
These libraries support genome and transcriptome analysis, CRISPR screens, variant detection, molecular evolution studies, and high-throughput measurements of gene function. In each setting, barcoding helps organize sequence data from many fragments or experimental conditions. The approach therefore supports experiments that would otherwise be difficult to scale while retaining interpretable links between reads and their sources.
The barcode-to-read relationship preserves information about which sample or experimental condition produced each sequence observation. That connection allows pooled data to be separated computationally and compared according to its original grouping. As a result, experiments can become more scalable and quantitatively interpretable, particularly when many biological measurements must be analyzed together.
