Abstract: Provided herein are methods and compositions for the detection of target nucleic acids using target reporter constructs (TRCs) which comprise target sequences complementary to the target nucleic acid. Further provided are methods of replicating the TRCs using rolling circle replication and/or rolling circle amplification to produce replicated TRCs which can be detected using probe sequences within the replicated TRCs.

Abstract: The present invention provides for methods, reagents, apparatuses, and systems for the replication or amplification of nucleic acid molecules from biological samples. In one embodiment of the invention, the nucleic molecules are isolated from the sample, and subjected to fragmenting and joining using ligating agents of one or more hairpin structures to each end of the fragmented nucleic molecules to form one or more dumbbell templates. The one or more dumbbell templates are contacted with at least one substantially complementary primer attached to a substrate, and subjected to rolling circle replication or rolling circle amplification.
