  • Methods of normalization in microRNA detection assays
    Patent number: 7993831
    Abstract: This application describes methods of quantifying a target miRNA in a biological sample by measuring the amounts of a target miRNA and at least one reference oncomir in a reaction volume, and normalizing the amount of target miRNA to the amount of one or more reference oncomirs.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 14, 2007
    Date of Patent: August 9, 2011
    Assignee: Asuragen, Inc.

  • NUCLEIC ACID QUANTITATION METHODS
    Publication number: 20080274458
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of determining the amount of a target nucleic acid sequence in a sample, the method comprising: obtaining multiple distinguishable amplicons of the target nucleic acid sequence, each comprising a distinguishing tag and a target portion; amplifying the amplicons in a single reaction volume; and detecting nucleic acids amplified from the amplicons. Detection of the distinguishable amplicons can be varied in each of the steps of the method, which expands the dynamic range of the nucleic acid quantification methods and improves the reliability and accuracy of the methods.
