  • Patent number: 9376712
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions and methods for detection and quantification of individual target molecules in biomolecular samples. In particular, the invention relates to improved, stable nanoreporter probes that are capable of binding to and identifying target molecules based on the probes' uniquely detectable signal. Methods for identifying target-specific sequences for inclusion in the probes are also provided, as are methods of making and using such probes. Polynucleotide sequences of certain nanoreporter components are also provided. The probes can be used in diagnostic, prognostic, quality control and screening applications.

  • Publication number: 20160115551
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods for classifying and for evaluating the prognosis of a subject having breast cancer are provided. The methods include prediction of breast cancer subtype using a supervised algorithm trained to stratify subjects on the basis of breast cancer intrinsic subtype. The prediction model is based on the gene expression profile of the intrinsic genes listed in Table 1. This prediction model can be used to accurately predict the intrinsic subtype of a subject diagnosed with or suspected of having breast cancer.

  • Patent number: 7941279
    Abstract: Methods, computers, and computer program products for detecting the presence of a probe within a sample overlayed on a substrate are provided. The probe comprises a plurality of spatially arranged labels. A data storage module stores a plurality of light images, where each light image has light from the sample at a corresponding wavelength range in a plurality of different wavelength ranges. A label identification module identifies a plurality of labels in the plurality of light images that are proximate to each other on the substrate. A spatial order of the plurality of labels determines a string sequence of the plurality of labels. A probe identification module determines whether the string sequence of the plurality of labels comprises a valid reporter sequence.
