Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for improving the sensitivity and accuracy of quantitative detection of polynucleotides in a sample, such a clinical specimen, by a method that utilizes a two- or three-step process of tagging/labeling target molecules and adding an adapter sequence for adding a universal primer for efficient amplification of targets while decreasing target amplification bias. When combined with the step of statistically correcting for sequencing errors, the method can significantly increase the accuracy of quantitative detection of polynucleotides in a sample.
Abstract:
The present disclosure generally pertains to a multiplex method for analyzing samples comprising using polynucleotide amplification to produce amplified products wherein one or more target sequences are tagged with a non-interfering, non- canceling target-specific polynucleotide identification tag, pyrosequencing the amplified products through the non-canceling target-specific polynucleotide identification tag sequence to detect the presence of one or more specific polynucleotide identification tags. The presence of a specific polynucleotide identification tag being correlated with the presence of a specific target sequence.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for amplifying RNA from T and B-cell populations and using the amplified RNA products to evaluate the possible correlation between a normal or abnormal immune response and the development of a disease such as an autoimmune disease, cancer, diabetes, or heart disease.
