    摘要: Methods for detection of nucleic acids such as a cDNA copy of an mRNA are disclosed. The methods comprise using a PCR to form a preamplification product which comprises cDNA sequence as well as primer target sequences and a detection probe sequence, which are introduced by the forward and reverse primers. In a second PCR, preamplification product is amplified using universal primers which hybridize to the primer target sequences or their complements. Amplification can be detected using a detection probe that hybridizes to the detection probe sequence or its complement.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to methods, reagents, and kits for detecting the presence or absence of (or quantifying) target polynucleotide sequences in at least one sample using encoding and decoding reactions. When a particular target polynucleotide is present in a sample, a reaction product is formed in the encoding reaction that includes addressable primer portions. At least one label and at least one address primer is employed in the decoding amplification reaction thereby providing a detectable signal value depending upon whether a sequence is present or absent. In some embodiments universal bases and reduced libraries of probes can be employed for highly multiplexed analysis of target polynucleotides.

    摘要: The present teachings are generally directed to methods for normalizing at least one species of small nucleic acid that is present in a population of small nucleic acid species, wherein the relative concentration of at least one small nucleic acid species is substantially greater than the relative concentration of at least one other small nucleic acid species in the population. At least one small nucleic acid species is normalized using a multiplicity of primers comprising degenerate sequences. In some embodiments, a small nucleic acid species is identified by inserting at least part of an extension product from a normalized population into a vector and subsequently sequencing the insert. In some embodiments, a small nucleic acid species is identified by determining the sequence of at least part of an extension product.

    摘要: The present teachings provide methods, compositions, and kits for reverse transcribing and amplifying small nucleic acids such as micro RNAs. High levels of multiplexing are provided by the use of a zip-coded stem-loop reverse transcription primer, along with a PCR-based pre-amplification reaction that comprises a zip-coded forward primer. Detector probes in downstream decoding PCRs can take advantage of the zip-code introduced by the stem-loop reverse transcription primer. In some embodiments, further amplification is achieved by cycling the reverse transcription reaction. The present teachings also provide compositions and kits useful for performing the reverse transcription and amplification reactions described herein.

    摘要: The present teachings provide novel methods, compositions, and kits for analyzing mature micro RNAs (miRNAs). By taking advantage of the observation that most mature miRNAs in cells are tightly associated with RISCs, the present teachings provide approaches for studying mature miRNAs without the complications of additional nucleic acids. For example, in some embodiments the present teachings provide a method of purifying mature miRNAs comprising heating a sample to form a lysate, and, degrading the additional nucleic acids. The resulting mixture lacks the additional nucleic acids, and contains mature miRNAs associated with RISCs. Liberating the mature miRNAs from RISCs, for example by a protease, a detergent, and/or heat, can result in a pure collection of mature miRNAs.
