    摘要: A method of estimating a concentration of DNA molecules in a biological sample includes storing a number of a plurality of reaction sites in a memory and distributing the biological sample among the plurality of reaction sites. The method also includes determining a number of the plurality of reaction sites characterized by a presence of one or more of the DNA molecules and computing a portion of the plurality of reaction sites characterized by the presence of the one or more of the DNA molecules. The method further includes estimating the concentration of the DNA molecules as a function of the portion of the plurality of reaction sites and computing a confidence interval for the estimated concentration of DNA molecules.

    摘要: The present invention provides assay methods that increase the number of samples and/or target nucleic acids that can be analyzed in a single assay. In certain embodiments, an assay method entails separately subjecting S samples to an encoding reaction that produces a set of T tagged target nucleotide sequences, each tagged target nucleotide sequence including a sample-specific nucleotide tag and a target nucleotide sequence. In some embodiments, an assay method entails separately subjecting S samples to an encoding reaction that produces a set of T tagged target nucleotide sequences, each tagged target nucleotide sequence including a first nucleotide tag linked to a target nucleotide sequence, which is linked to a second nucleotide tag. In either case, the tagged target nucleotide sequences from the S samples can be mixed to form an assay mixture and subsequently assayed.

    摘要: A method of adjusting amplification curves in a PCR experiment includes receiving a plurality of amplification curves for a sample and computing a first parameter for each of the plurality of amplification curves. The method also includes computing a second parameter for each of the plurality of amplification curves and computing a third parameter using at least a portion of the first or second parameters. The method further includes computing an offset for each of the plurality of amplification curves. The offset is a function of the first parameter and the third parameter. Moreover, the method includes adjusting at least one of the plurality of amplification curves by subtracting the offset.
