摘要:
Described herein are innovations for classifying subtypes of DLBCL, as well as using the results of classification for diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy selection. In this way, the classifier can effectively classify subtypes of DLBCL and provide meaningful output for the benefit of medical practices and DLBCL patients. Also described are arrays and kits that can be used to measure expression of DLBCL signatures genes.
摘要:
Disclosed herein are methods for detecting a target nucleic acid molecule in a sample. The methods can include contacting a sample with a detectably labeled probe (detection probe) that specifically binds to a first target sequence in the target nucleic acid molecule, a bifunctional oligonucleotide including a portion that specifically binds to a second target sequence in the target nucleic acid molecule and a portion that specifically binds to an anchor, and a surface comprising the anchor. Specifically bound detection probe and bifunctional oligonucleotide are ligated and a reagent that specifically removes substantially all of the target nucleic acid is added. Unligated detection probe is removed and presence of the detectable label is detected. In other embodiments, the ligation and/or removal of target nucleic acid are omitted and the detection probe specifically bound to the target nucleic acid is detected.

The present disclosure provides methods and kits for direct sequencing of nucleic acid targets. Such methods can be used to determine if one or more nucleic acid targets are present in a sample.
摘要:
This disclosure concerns the identification of biomarkers that are characteristic of squamous or non squamous (e.g., adenocarcinoma, large cell carcinoma, carcinoid tumor, sarcomatoid carcinoma) subtypes of non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), clinically useful NSCLC classifiers, kits and arrays for distinguishing squamous and nonsquamous NSCLC subtypes, bioinformatic methods for determining clinically useful classifiers, and methods of use of each of the foregoing.
摘要:
The present disclosure provides an improvement to quantitative Nuclease Protection Assay (qNPA) and quantitative Nuclease Protection Sequencing (qNPS) methods. The disclosed methods use nuclease protection probes (NPPs) that include 5′-end and/or 3-end flanking sequences, which provide a universal hybridization and/or amplification sequence. The disclosed methods can be used to sequence or detect target nucleic acid molecules, such as those present in fixed or insoluble samples.
摘要:
The present disclosure provides methods for sequencing nucleic acid targets (e.g., both DNA and RNA co-amplified in a sample mixture, for example by using a surrogate for the RNA). Such methods can be used to determine if one or more nucleic acid targets are present in a sample.
摘要:
Disclosed herein are methods of detecting presence of a gene fusion in a sample from a subject. In some embodiments, the methods of detecting presence of a fusion gene in a sample from a subject utilize a fusion probe that spans the point of fusion between two nucleic acids or genes. In other embodiments, the methods of detecting presence of a fusion gene in a sample from a subject utilize two or more probes that flank the point of fusion between two nucleic acids or genes. In additional embodiments, the methods can include determining the percentage of gene fusion in the sample relative to the first nucleic acid or the second nucleic acid.
摘要:
Disclosed herein are methods for detecting presence of a nucleotide variant in a target nucleic acid utilizing a nuclease protection assay. The methods include contacting a sample with at least two probes, wherein the first probe is complementary to the wild-type (non-variant) nucleotide(s) at the nucleotide variant position(s) in the target nucleic acid and the second probe is complementary to the variant nucleotide(s) at the nucleotide variant position(s) in the target nucleic acid, under conditions sufficient for the probes to hybridize to the target nucleic acid, producing a mixture of hybridized and unhybridized nucleic acids. The mixture is contacted with a nuclease specific for single-stranded nucleic acid molecules under conditions sufficient to remove unhybridized nucleic acid molecules (or unhybridized portions of nucleic acid molecules). The presence of the at least two probes is then detected, thereby detecting the presence of the variant and/or non-variant target nucleic acid in the sample.
摘要:
Disclosed are methods for determining whether a melanocyte-containing sample (such as a nevus or other pigmented lesion) is benign or a primary melanoma. These methods can include detecting (at the molecular level, e.g., mRNA, miRNA, or protein) the expression of at least two disclosed genes in a biological sample obtained from a subject. Also provided are arrays and kits that can be used with the methods.
