1. A method to analyze nucleic acid sequences, comprising:
- attaching a unique identifier from a pool of different unique identifiers to a first end of each strand of a plurality of nucleic acid target molecules to form a plurality of tagged nucleic acid target molecules,wherein the pool of unique identifiers is in excess of the plurality of nucleic acid target molecules;
determining a sequence of uniquely identified amplicons of a tagged nucleic acid target molecule from the plurality of tagged nucleic acid target molecules, wherein sequences of amplicons having the same unique identifier are amplicons related by descent;
comparing the sequences of amplicons related by descent; and
identifying a sequence as representing a nucleic acid target molecule when multiple clonal copies of the nucleic acid target molecule result in a consensus sequence.

Abstract
The present invention provides oligonucleotide constructs, sets of such oligonucleotide constructs, and methods of using such oligonucleotide constructs to provide validated sequences or sets of validated sequences corresponding to desired ROIs. Such validated ROIs and constructs containing these have a wide variety of uses, including in synthetic biology, quantitative nucleic acid analysis, polymorphism and/or mutation screening, and the like.

20. A method to analyze nucleic acid sequences, comprising:
-
attaching a unique identifier comprising a sequence of about 10 to about 30 bases from a pool of different unique identifiers to a first end of each strand of a plurality of nucleic acid target molecules using a primer in amplification reaction to form a plurality of tagged nucleic acid target molecules, wherein the pool of unique identifiers is in excess of the plurality of nucleic acid target molecules; determining a sequence of uniquely identified amplicons of a tagged nucleic acid target molecule from the plurality of tagged nucleic acid target molecules, wherein sequences of amplicons having the same unique identifier are amplicons related by descent; comparing the sequences of amplicons related by descent; identifying a sequence as representing a nucleic acid target molecule when multiple clonal copies of the nucleic acid target molecule result in a consensus sequence; and comparing the sequence representing a nucleic acid target molecule to a validated, error-free target nucleic acid molecule and identifying a mutation in the sequence when the sequence differs from a validated, error-free nucleic acid target molecule sequence.
