Method for multiplexed nucleic acid patch polymerase chain reaction

A method of sequencing at least two different nucleic acid sequences, the method comprising:

• a) defining the 5′ and 3′ ends of the at least two linear nucleic acid sequences of double stranded genomic DNA by:
• i) denaturing the double stranded genomic DNA;
• ii) annealing an upstream nucleic acid guide sequence and a downstream nucleic acid guide sequence to the at least two nucleic acid sequences of the genomic DNA, wherein the upstream nucleic acid guide sequence and the downstream nucleic acid guide sequence include a Type IIS restriction endonuclease recognition sequence, which allows a Type IIS restriction endonuclease to cleave the genomic DNA at known sites;
• and
• iii) cleaving the genomic DNA with the Type IIS restriction endonuclease;
• b) annealing an upstream and a downstream patch nucleic acid sequence to the linear nucleic acid sequence and to an adapter nucleic acid sequence;
• c) ligating the adapter nucleic acid sequence to the known 5′ and 3′ ends of the at least two linear nucleic acid sequences;
• d) digesting the unselected genomic DNA with exonuclease III and exonuclease VII;
• and
• e) sequencing the known nucleic acid sequence.
