    摘要: The present application is directed to the use of photon migration analysis to provide a method of analyzing the diffuse reflectance, fluorescence, Raman or other types of spectra obtained from tissue. This procedure provides a means for processing spectral data such that the distortion in fluorescence spectra, for example, caused by the interplay of a variety of factors such as scattering, absorption, geometry and boundary conditions, can be precisely removed simply by measuring the diffuse reflectance spectrum as well as a second selected spectrum, such as fluorescence, and adjust the spectrum with the reflectance spectrum as described herein. By this procedure, the sample-to-sample variability is minimized. The intrinsic spectrum extracted by this procedure can be easily deconvoluted and provide quantitative information about the physicochemical composition of tissue. Analytical procedures for clinical diagnosis have been developed based on this method.

    摘要: Methods of reliably estimating genomic fraction (e.g., fetal fraction) from polymorphisms such as small base variations or insertions-deletions are disclosed. Sequenced data from a multigenomic source is used to determine allele counts for one or more of the polymorphisms. For one or more of the polymorphisms, zygosity is assigned, and genomic fraction is determined from the zygosity and allele counts. Certain embodiments employ SNPs as the relevant polymorphism. The disclosed methods can be applied as part of an intentional, pre-designed re-sequencing study targeted against known polymorphisms or can be used in a retrospective analysis of variations found by coincidence in overlapping sequences generated from maternal plasma (or any other setting where a mixture of DNA from several people are present).

    摘要: Methods are disclosed for resolving measurement problems such problems in measuring chromosomal copy number. Some disclosed methods involve first selecting a primary assay element characteristic to partition. Such characteristic may be a source of experimental variability such as the GC content of measured DNA sequences. Additionally, the disclosed methods may employ an abundance or copy number function to transform the assay element frequencies into an abundance, dose, copy number score, or the like. In some cases, the disclosed methods estimate an amount of certain fetal DNA in a sample. The methods can further compare the estimated amount to a measured amount of fetal DNA in the sample. The comparison can be used to determine the fetal sex or aneuploidy.

    摘要: Novel compounds are provided which are useful as linking groups in chemical synthesis, preferably in the solid phase synthesis of oligonucleotides and polypeptides. These compounds are generally photolabile and comprise protecting groups which can be removed by photolysis to unmask a reactive group. The protecting group has the general formula Ar—C(R1)(R2)—O—C(O)— wherein: Ar is an optionally substituted fused polycyclic aryl or heteroaromatic group or a vinylogous derivative thereof; R1 and R2 are independently H, optionally substituted alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl, optionally substituted aryl or optionally substituted heteroaromatic, or a vinylogous derivative of the foregoing; and X is a leaving group, a chemical fragment linked to Ar—C(R1)(R2)—O—C(O)— via a heteroatom, or a solid support; provided that when Ar is 1-pyrenyl and R1 and R2 are H, X is not linked to Ar—C(R1)(R2)—O—C(O)— via a nitrogen atom. Preferred embodiments are those in which Ar is a fused polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon and in which the substituents on Ar, R1 and R2 are electron donating groups. A particularly preferred protecting group is the “PYMOC” protecting group, pyrenylmethyloxycarbonyl, where Ar is pyrenyl and R1 and R2 are H. Also provided is a method of forming, from component molecules, a plurality of compounds on a support, each compound occupying a separate predefined region of the support, using the protected compounds described above.
