Publication number: 20230242974Abstract: The present disclosure in some aspects relates to methods and compositions for detecting and quantifying multiple analytes present in a biological sample by rolling circle amplification (RCA). In some aspects, the methods and compositions provided herein address issues associated with control of signal spot size and intensity for RCA products (RCPs) in a sample.
