  • Protection of barcodes during DNA amplification using molecular hairpins
    Patent number: 10557134
    Abstract: Described herein are approaches for the improved detection, identification, and/or quantification of target nucleic acids. These approaches provide a means of detecting, identifying, and/or quantifying rare target nucleic acid molecules, including DNA and RNA molecules, from the same sample, and in the same reaction, by using “hairpin barcode primers,” as the term is defined herein, to incorporate unique barcodes into target nucleic acids in a PCR pre-amplification step.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 24, 2016
    Date of Patent: February 11, 2020
    Assignees: TRUSTEES OF BOSTON UNIVERSITY, ONTARIO INSTITUTE FOR CANCER RESEARCH
    Inventors: Tony Edward Godfrey, Anders Torbjoern Staahlberg, Paul Krzyzanowski
