    摘要: A system for detection of nucleic acids can include an excitation source configured to transmit excitation energy to a reaction site including a single molecule of nucleic acid reacted with a two-photon absorption moiety. The system also can include an optical system configured to focus the excitation energy transmitted from the excitation source to a focal region containing the reaction site, wherein said excitation energy within the focal region is sufficient to cause two-photon absorption by the two-photon absorption moiety. The system can further include a detector configured to detect emissions generated at the reaction site resulting from two-photon absorption of the excitation energy by the two-photon absorption moiety.

    摘要: Systems and methods are used to display data obtained from a qPCR instrument. Each of two or more samples is probed with a first labeling probe and a second labeling probe. A first data set is received from a qPCR instrument at a first cycle number that includes for each sample a first labeling probe intensity, and a second labeling probe intensity. A second data set is received at a second cycle number that includes for each sample a first labeling probe intensity and a second labeling probe intensity. A first plot of first labeling probe intensity as a function of second labeling probe intensity is created using the first data set. A second plot of first labeling probe intensity as a function of second labeling probe intensity is created using the second data set. The first plot and the second plot are displayed in response to user defined input to provide dynamic and real-time analysis of genotyping data.

    摘要: Methods and systems for quantification of a target nucleic acid in a sample are provided. The method includes forming a plurality of discrete sample portions. Each of the plurality of discrete sample portions comprising a portion of the sample, and a reaction mixture. The method further includes amplifying the plurality of discrete sample portions to form a plurality of discrete processed sample portions. At least one discrete processed sample portion containing nucleic acid amplification reaction products. Fluorescence signals are detected from the at least one of the plurality of discrete processed sample portions to determine a presence of the at least one target nucleic acid. The method also includes determining the respective volumes of the plurality of the plurality of discrete processed sample portions, and estimating the number of copies-per-unit-volume of the at least one target nucleic acid in the sample. Estimating the number of copies-per-unit-volume is based on the number of discrete processed sample portions determined to contain the at least one target nucleic acid therein.

    摘要: Methods for the determination of a copy number of a target genomic sequence; either a target gene or genomic sequence of interest, in a biological sample are described. Various methods utilize a model drawn from a probability density function (PDF) for the assignment of a copy number of a target genomic sequence in a biological sample. Additionally, the methods provide for the determination of a confidence value for a copy number assigned to a sample based on attributes of the sample data. Accordingly, the various methods for the determination of a copy number provide the end user with significant information for the evaluation of a copy number of a target genomic sequence; either a gene or genomic sequence of interest.
