US Patent 12071617 Hybrid targeted and whole transcriptome amplification

Disclosed herein include systems, methods, compositions, and kits for the labeling of nucleic acids targets. In some embodiments, the methods comprise the use of target-specific primers and target-non-specific primers during library preparation (e.g., hybrid library preparation). In some embodiments, the methods increase the abundance of select low abundance targets during cDNA library preparation and/or sequencing library preparation.
