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.

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.
