The Paired-End-Tag library construction in the Polonator protocols is simply the first well defined and kit-supported front-end protocol for the Polonator. We reach out to the world-wide community of researchers and genome centers to develop and publish additional front-end protocols for the Polonator. These might include, but are not limited to:

  • basic RNA quantitation (PMAGE)
  • allele-specific RNA quantitation
  • RNA splicing
  • microRNAs
  • single cell analyses
  • exon enrichment
  • genome-wide association studies
  • megabase-region selective sequencing
  • DNA haplotyping
  • DNA methylation; BS-Seq
  • Chromatin immuno-precipitation (ChIP-seq)
  • Microbiomics
  • VDJ-omes
  • cancer panels
  • rearrangement measures using paired-end-tags (PET)
  • aptamer libraries
  • microbial genome lab evolution
  • population variation in small genomic regions.


We look forward to the genomic community embracing the Polonator as a low cost, high performance sequencing solution, and broadening the protocol base well beyond the current and upcoming efforts of the Church Lab.
