    摘要: The present invention pertains to methods and kits for isolating extracellular nucleic acids from a biological sample using anion exchange particles. It was found that incorporating into the binding mixture a polyoxyalkylene fatty alcohol ether compensates performance variations that are attributable to differences in the anion exchange surface as they may occur e.g. between different lots/batches of the anion exchange particles and/or during storage of said particles. Moreover, including a polyoxyalkylene fatty alcohol ether in the binding mixture resulted in a higher purity of the obtained eluates revealing significantly less inhibition in a downstream reaction such as a PCR reaction.

    摘要: Provided is a method for analysing the expression of one or more biomarker RNA molecules, comprising (A) isolating RNA from circulating tumor cells obtained from a subject, determining the expression of at least one biomarker RNA molecule in the isolated RNA and providing an expression profile based on the results; (B) isolating RNA from extracellular vesicles obtained from the subject, determining the expression of at least one biomarker RNA molecule in the isolated RNA and providing an expression profile based on the results; and (C) using the expression profiles determined in (A) and determined in (B) for a combined analysis of the results. Such combined analysis of the CTC and EV expression profiles enhances the prognostic and predictive value of the obtained results and can provide valuable diagnostic, prognostic and/or predictive information. The present method can thus be used as improved diagnostic, prognostic and/or predictive aid in the management of cancer patients. It can be used to support the diagnosis, prognosis or to choose the most appropriate treatment for cancer patients.

    摘要: The invention refers to a novel method of preparing strand-specific RNA-sequencing libraries that can be used to identify DNA coding and non-coding strands that are transcribed to RNA. Such strand-specific RNA-sequencing libraries are especially useful in discovering anti-sense RNA and non-coding RNA. Random primer oligonucleotides, covalently coupled to a moiety, which blocks ligation, are used for RT reaction or the subsequent generation of the second DNA strand so that only one strand of the generated double-stranded DNA is ligated to sequencing adapters at the 5′ nucleotide and sequenced by paired-end sequencing.

    摘要: A kit for use in assessing the status of nucleic acid degradation and/or the integrity of one or more nucleic acids in a sample by amplifying at least two overlapping regions within at least one locus and detecting the amount of the at least two amplification products. The kit includes a primer and at least two probes that bind under stringent conditions to a sequence that shares at least 80% sequence identity to a sequence selected from the group of sequences consisting of SEQ ID NO. 6 to SEQ ID NO. 47 over a stretch of 80 base pairs, or to a reverse complement thereof. One of the at least two probes binds to one of the at least two overlapping regions and the other of the at least two probes binds to a non-overlapping region.

    摘要: Method and system for compensating intensity biases in a plurality of digital images. Each digital image of the plurality of digital images contains a plurality of objects and each of the plurality of objects is configured to receive at least one molecule comprising genetic information, wherein the at least one molecule is configured to receive one of at least a first fluorescent compound and a second fluorescent compound. A first digital image of the plurality of digital images is taken by an optical imaging system during emission of electromagnetic radiation by the first fluorescent compound, and a second digital image of the plurality of digital images is taken by the optical imaging system during emission of electromagnetic radiation by the second fluorescent compound.
