Abstract: Provided herein is technology relating to detecting neoplasia and particularly, but not exclusively, to methods, compositions, and related uses for detecting premalignant and malignant neoplasms such as pancreatic and colorectal cancer. Accordingly, provided herein is technology for pancreatic cancer screening markers and other gastrointestinal cancer screening markers that provide a high signal to-noise ratio and a low background level when detected from samples taken from a subject (e.g., stool sample). As described herein, the technology provides a number of methylated DNA markers and subsets thereof (e.g., sets of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 or more markers) with high discrimination for G1 neoplasms overall and/or at individual tumor sites.

Abstract: Provided herein is technology for hepatocellular carcinoma screening and particularly, but not exclusively, to methods, compositions, and related uses for detecting the presence of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Abstract: Provided herein is technology for esophageal disorder screening and particularly, but not exclusively, to methods, compositions, and related uses for detecting the presence of esophageal disorders (e.g., Barrett's esophagus, Barrett's esophageal dysplasia, etc.). In addition, the technology provides methods, compositions and related uses for distinguishing between Barrett's esophagus and Barrett's esophageal dysplasia, and between Barrett's esophageal low-grade dysplasia, Barrett's esophageal high-grade dysplasia, and esophageal adenocarcinoma within samples obtained through endoscopic brushing or nonendoscopic whole esophageal brushing or swabbing using a tethered device (e.g. such as a capsule sponge, balloon, or other device).

Abstract: The present invention provides systems, methods and kits for performing a detection assay (e.g., invasive cleavage assay) in combination with an amplification assay (e.g., PCR), where the detection assay employs enzyme footprint probes with relatively short (e.g., 6-12 bases) analyte-specific regions configured to provide a preferred footprint length of duplex for use with a particular nucleic acid modifying enzyme. In some embodiments, such assays are used for target quantification, and in other embodiments, such assays are used for genotyping. In certain embodiments, the use of such short probes allows for assays with increased dynamic range.
