Abstract: Provided herein are products and processes for detecting the presence or absence of multiple target nucleic acids. Certain methods include amplifying the target nucleic acids, or portion thereof; extending oligonucleotides that specifically hybridize to the amplicons, where the extended oligonucleotides include a capture agent; capturing the extended oligonucleotides to a solid phase via the capture agent; releasing the extended oligonucleotide by competition with a competitor; detecting the extended oligonucleotide, and thereby determining the presence or absence of each target nucleic acid by the presence or absence of the extended oligonucleotide.

Abstract: Provided are compositions and processes that utilize genomic regions differentially methylated between a mother and her fetus to separate, isolate or enrich fetal nucleic acid from a maternal sample. The compositions and processes described herein are useful for non-invasive prenatal diagnostics, including the detection of chromosomal aneuplodies.

Abstract: The technology relates in part to quantification of a minority nucleic acid species from a nucleic acid sample. In some embodiments, methods for determining the amount of fetal nucleic acid (e.g. absolute amount, relative amount) in a maternal sample are provided.

Abstract: An improved multiplex ligation-dependent amplification method is disclosed for detecting the presence of specific methylated sites in a single stranded target nucleic acid, while simultaneously, the quantification of the target nucleic acid sequence can be performed, using a plurality of probe sets of at least two probes, each of which includes a target specific region and non-complementary region containing a primer binding site. At least one of the probes further includes the sequence of one of the strands of a double stranded recognition site of a methylation sensitive restriction enzyme. The probes belonging to the same set are ligated together when hybridised to the target nucleic acid sequence, the hybrid is subjected to digestion by the methylation sensitive restriction enzyme, resulting in non-methylated recognition sites being cleaved. The probes of the uncleaved (methylated) hybrid are subsequently amplified by a suitable primer set.
