  • QUANTITATIVE NUCLEASE PROTECTION ASSAY (QNPA) AND SEQUENCING (QNPS) IMPROVEMENTS
    Publication number: 20140235460
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an improvement to quantitative Nuclease Protection Assay (qNPA) and quantitative Nuclease Protection Sequencing (qNPS) methods. The disclosed methods use nuclease protection probes (NPPs) that include 5?-end and/or 3-end flanking sequences, which provide a universal hybridization and/or amplification sequence. The disclosed methods can be used to sequence or detect target nucleic acid molecules, such as those present in fixed or insoluble samples.
    Type: Application
