  • HOMOLOGOUS PAIRING CAPTURE ASSAY AND RELATED METHODS AND APPLICATIONS
    Publication number: 20140356872
    Abstract: A Homologous Pairing Capture Assay is described which enables detection of coalignment between homologous DNA sequences. The assay involves ligating closely positioned homologous sequences to each other thereby generating head-to-head ligation products or inverted repeats. DNA fragments containing an inverted repeat are then converted into hairpin DNA molecules. The hairpin DNA molecules can then be readily separated from DNA molecules free of inverted repeats. Also described are various diagnostic applications and kits relating to the assay.
