Abstract:
Disclosed herein are compositions, methods and kits for analyzing three-dimensional chromatin and/or chromosome conformation. Method are also disclosed for using the methods disclosed herein for diagnosing diseases such as cancer.
Abstract:
Methods, compositions and kits for capturing, detecting and quantifying mature small RNAs are provided herein. Embodiments of the methods comprise ligating 5' and 3' ligation adaptors to the 5' and 3' ends of the mature small RNAs, respectively, in the presence of 5' and 3' semi-degenerate ligation splints to generate a ligation product. Other embodiments comprise reverse transcribing polyadenylated mature small RNA with a universal reverse transcription primer and ligating an adaptor to the 3' end of the cDNA in the presence of a semi-degenerate ligation splint to generate a cDNA lligation product.
Abstract:
Methods, compositions and kits for capturing, detecting and quantifying mature small RNAs are provided herein. Embodiments of the methods comprise tailing both the 5' and 3' ends of mature small RNA by ligating a 5' ligation adaptor to the 5' end and polyadenylating the 3' end. Other embodiments comprise reverse transcribing the adaptor ligated, polyadenylated mature small RNA with a universal reverse transcription primer and amplifying the cDNA with universal primers.
Abstract:
The present specification relates to methods, compositions, and kits for determining the presence of the number of copies of a gene. The present disclosure provides methods and compositions to determine zygosity in transgenic plants, number of transgenes in a plant or animal, karyotyping, determine CNV in human and animal samples, diagnose and detect diseases and conditions that are characterized by having variations in the number of copies of one or more genes.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides novel primers and method for the detection of specific nucleic acid sequences. The primers and methods provided herein are useful in a wide variety of molecular biology applications and are particularly useful in allele-specific PCR.
