  • Patent number: 11268133
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of detecting presence of a gene fusion in a sample from a subject. In some embodiments, the methods of detecting presence of a fusion gene in a sample from a subject utilize a fusion probe that spans the point of fusion between two nucleic acids or genes. In other embodiments, the methods of detecting presence of a fusion gene in a sample from a subject utilize two or more probes that flank the point of fusion between two nucleic acids or genes. In additional embodiments, the methods can include determining the percentage of gene fusion in the sample relative to the first nucleic acid or the second nucleic acid.

  • Patent number: 10294515
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of detecting presence of a gene fusion in a sample from a subject. In some embodiments, the methods of detecting presence of a fusion gene in a sample from a subject utilize a fusion probe that spans the point of fusion between two nucleic acids or genes, and detecting the fusion probe after nuclease treatment. In other embodiments, the methods of detecting presence of a fusion gene in a sample from a subject utilize two or more probes that flank the point of fusion between two nucleic acids or genes, and detecting these probes after nuclease treatment. In additional embodiments, the methods can include determining the percentage of gene fusion in the sample relative to the first nucleic acid or the second nucleic acid.

  • Patent number: 9765385
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for detecting presence of a nucleotide variant in a target nucleic acid utilizing a nuclease protection assay. The methods include contacting a sample with at least two probes, wherein the first probe is complementary to the wild-type (non-variant) nucleotide(s) at the nucleotide variant position(s) in the target nucleic acid and the second probe is complementary to the variant nucleotide(s) at the nucleotide variant position(s) in the target nucleic acid, under conditions sufficient for the probes to hybridize to the target nucleic acid, producing a mixture of hybridized and unhybridized nucleic acids. The mixture is contacted with a nuclease specific for single-stranded nucleic acid molecules under conditions sufficient to remove unhybridized nucleic acid molecules (or unhybridized portions of nucleic acid molecules). The presence of the at least two probes is then detected, thereby detecting the presence of the variant and/or non-variant target nucleic acid in the sample.

  • Patent number: 9512469
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of co-detecting presence of target messenger RNA (mRNA) and small non-coding RNA (for example, miRNA) in a sample. The disclosed methods can be used to simultaneously detect mRNA and small non-coding RNA in a single assay (for example in the same reaction or the same well of a multi-well assay). The methods can include contacting a sample with a plurality of nuclease protection probes (NPPs) including at least one probe which specifically binds to a target mRNA and at least one probe which specifically binds to a target small non-coding RNA, contacting the sample with a nuclease specific for single-stranded nucleic acids, and detecting the NPP, for example on a microarray.
