    摘要: The present invention provides systems, apparatuses, and methods to detect the presence of fetal cells when mixed with a population of maternal cells in a sample and to test fetal abnormalities, i.e. aneuploidy. In addition, the present invention provides methods to determine when there are insufficient fetal cells for a determination and report a non-informative case. The present invention involves quantifying regions of genomic DNA from a mixed sample. More particularly the invention involves quantifying DNA polymorphisms from the mixed sample.

    摘要: This invention provides methods for determining drug specificity, therapeutic index and effective doses for individual patients. According to the methods of the invention, graded levels of drug are applied to a biological sample or a patient. A plurality of cellular constituents are measured to determine the activity of the drug on a target pathway and at least one off-target pathway. A drug specificity is determined by comparing the target and off target activities of the drug. A therapeutic concentration (or dose) is defined as a concentration (or dose) of the drug that induces certain response in the target pathway. A toxic concentration (or dose) is defined as a concentration (or dose) of the drug that induces certain response in the off target pathway. Therapeutic index is the ratio of the toxic concentration over therapeutic concentration. Methods are also provided to determine an effective dose of a drug for a patient by measuring the activity of the drug on the particular patient.

    摘要: Methods and compositions are provided that are useful for detecting and reporting a plurality of different target polynucleotide sequences in a sample, such as polynucleotides corresponding to a plurality of different genes expressed by a cell or cells. In particular, the invention provides methods for screening a plurality of candidate polynucleotide probes to evaluate both the sensitivity and the specificity with which each candidate probe hybridizes to a target polynucleoide sequence. Candidate polynucleotide probes can then be ranked according to both their sensitivity and specificity, and probes that have optimal sensitivity and specificity for a target polynucleotide sequence can be selected. In one embodiment, polynucleotide probes can be selected according to the methods described herein to prepare “screening chips” wherein a large number of target polynucleotide sequences are detected using a single microarray have a few (e.g., 1-5) probes for each target polynucleotide sequence. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the invention provides a screening chip that can detect genetic transcripts from the entire genome of an organism. In an alternative embodiment, polynucleotide probes can be selected according to the methods described herein to prepare “signature chips” to more accurately detect certain selected “signature genes” using several polynucleotide probes (e:g., 10-20) for each signature gene. The invention additionally provides microarrays containing polynucleotide probes for a large number of genes expressed by a cell or organism. Further, methods for detecting a plurality of polynucleotide molecules, including a large number of genes expressed by a cell or organism, are also provided.
