1. A method for determining the sequences of a set of nucleic acid targets, comprising:
- tagging each individual nucleic acid target in a set of nucleic acid targets to create a set of tagged constructs, with;
(a) at least one unique identifier oligonucleotide that distinguishes the tagged construct from other tagged constructs in the set, wherein the at least one unique identifier oligonucleotide is not part of the nucleic acid target; and
(b) at least one amplification site;
amplifying the set of tagged constructs; and
determining the sequences of the amplified set of tagged constructs comprising the unique identifier oligonucleotides and the nucleic acid targets.

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.

8. A method for identifying a nucleic acid comprising a target ROI (region of interest), comprising:
-
providing a master set of nucleic acid constructs, each nucleic acid construct comprising;
(a) an ROI;
(b) at least one unique identifier oligonucleotide that distinguishes the nucleic acid construct from other nucleic acid constructs in the master set, wherein the at least one unique identifier oligonucleotide is not part of the ROI; and
(c) at least one amplification site;amplifying all or a portion of the master set, thereby generating an amplified master set comprising at least two copies of the nucleic acid construct comprising a target ROI; sequencing at least two nucleic acid constructs from the amplified master set; and identifying nucleic acid constructs in the amplified master set that are amplified from the same nucleic acid construct in the master set, by identifying nucleic acid constructs in the amplified master set that comprise the same unique identifier oligonucleotide, wherein the nucleic acid construct comprising the target ROI is identified, wherein the target ROI is distinguished from other ROIs in the amplified master set by the unique identifier oligonucleotide sequences and/or by the ROI sequences. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
