Abstract
In various aspects, the present disclosure provides methods, compositions, reactions mixtures, kits, and systems for sequencing both RNA and DNA from a single source sample. In some embodiments, RNA is treated so as to differentiate RNA sequences from DNA sequences derived from the same sample. In some embodiments, the RNA and DNA are cell-free polynucleotides.

A method of sequencing cell-free nucleic acids comprising DNA and RNA from a single biological sample, the method comprising:
- a. obtaining a sample comprising the cell-free nucleic acids;
- b. reverse transcribing the RNA to produce cDNA/RNA hybrid molecules by extending a primer, wherein the primer is covalently joined to a first member of a binding pair via a cleavage site;
- c. separating the cDNA from the DNA by binding the first member of the binding pair to a substrate comprising a second member of the binding pair;
- d. cleaving the cleavage site;
- and
- e. sequencing the cDNA and the DNA after the separating.
