    摘要: Provided herein are products and processes for detecting the presence or absence of minor nucleic acid species in a sample containing a mixture of minor nucleic acid species and one or more major nucleic acid species, where the amount (frequency or copy number) of the minor nucleic acid species is less than that of the major nucleic acid species. Certain methods include amplifying the mixture and extending the resulting amplicons using chain terminating reagents and extension primers that specifically hybridize to the amplicons, where a chain terminating reagent specific for the major nucleic acid species has a concentration that is less than a chain terminating reagent that is specific for a minor nucleic acid species. Skewing the concentrations of the chain terminating reagents in favor of high concentrations of the chain terminating reagents specific for the minor nucleic acid species relative to a chain terminating reagent specific for a major nucleic acid species improves the detection limit (sensitivity) of detecting minor nucleic acid species present at low frequency or copy number in the mixture. In addition, the signals generated from the extension product of the major nucleic acid species amplicon can serve as a positive control and permit quantification of the minor nucleic acid species relative to the major nucleic acid species in the mixture.

    摘要: The invention provides a novel additive for improved analysis by mass spectrometry. More specifically, ascorbic acid has been found to reduce or eliminate the presence of adducts commonly present in mass spectra. The improved processes and compositions of the invention allow for increased accuracy, sensitivity and throughput for samples analyzed by mass spectrometry.

    摘要: Methods, combinations and kits are provided for identifying the methylation state of a target nucleic acid molecule, the methylation state of a nucleotide locus in a target nucleic acid molecule, or for identifying the locus of one or more methylated or unmethylated nucleotides in a target nucleic acid molecule. Methylation state identification is performed by treating a methylated target nucleic acid molecule with a reagent that modifies one or more nucleotides in the target nucleic acid molecule as a function of the methylation state of the target nucleic acid molecule, methylation specifically amplifying treated target nucleic acid molecule, fragmenting amplified products, and detecting one or more fragments to thereby identify the methylation state of a target nucleic acid molecule, the methylation state of a nucleotide locus in a target nucleic acid molecule, or the locus of one or more methylated or unmethylated nucleotides in a target nucleic acid molecule.
