Bubble-Seq

Libraries of Restriction Fragments that Contain Replication Initiation Sites (Bubbles)

Bubble-Seq prepares libraries of restriction fragments that contained replication initiation sites (bubbles) in vivo (Mesner et al., 2013). In this method, DNA from origin libraries is biotinylated by a 3ê-end tailing reaction with biotin-16-dUTP. The biotinylated DNA is sonicated and captured with streptavidin-coated beads. The free DNA fragments are purified and used to prepare a sequencing.
