Abstract
Compositions and methods, systems, and kits for detecting and quantifying variations in numbers of molecules, particularly variations in gene dosage, e.g., due to gene duplication, or to variations from the normal euploid complement of chromosomes, e.g., trisomy of one or more chromosomes that are normally found in diploid pairs, without digital sequencing.
Claims15
A method for nucleic acid molecule analysis, comprising:
- a) providing a plurality of molecular inversion probes (MIPs) and a sample of nucleic acid molecules;
- b) hybridizing MIPs of the plurality of MIPs to the nucleic acid molecules to generate hybridized MIPs;
- c) in a reaction mixture, circularizing hybridized MIPs to form a plurality of circularized nucleic acid probes;
- d) forming a plurality of complexes comprising a plurality of primers hybridized to a plurality of circularized nucleic acid probes from the reaction mixture following d), wherein the plurality of primers is bound to a solid support, wherein the solid support comprises a polymeric coating polymerized from surface-modifying monomers comprising one or more monomers selected from the group consisting of dopamine, tannic acid, caffeic acid, pyrogallol, gallic acid, epigallocatechin gallate, and epicatechin gallate monomers, and wherein the primers are bound to the polymeric coating;
- e) extending the plurality of primers in the plurality of complexes in an amplification reaction to form a plurality of amplification products immobilized to the solid support;
- f) in a presence of at least one detergent, hybridizing a set of labeled probes to the plurality of amplification products to generate a plurality of amplification products comprising hybridized labeled probes;
- and
- g) using imaging to count the plurality of amplification products comprising hybridized labeled probes.
