Abstract: Methods for multiplex amplification of target nucleic acid sequences are provided.

Abstract: Provided herein are systems, compositions and methods for tracking, sorting and/or identifying sample polynucleotides using nucleic acid barcodes. The barcodes provided herein are oligonucleotides that are designed to be uniquely identifiable. The nucleic acid barcodes have properties that permit them to be sequenced with high accuracy and/or reduced error rates. In some embodiments, the nucleic acid barcodes are designed to have certain nucleotide sequences that make up overlapping dibase color positions (also called color positions). The order of the overlapping dibase color positions can be determined using fluorophore-encoded dibase probes in a fluorophore color calling scheme to give high fidelity reads.

Abstract: Methods and systems for processing signals to minimize the effects of dye crosstalk. Deconvolution of multiplexed dye signals can include corrections for residual error determined from experimental measurements. Residual error corrections can account for reaction or assay specific factors and modify the subsequent filtering of signals. Correction values can be determined for specific dye-probe conjugates to minimize dye crosstalk and may be combined with residual error correction to further minimize errors in spectral deconvolution. Apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media can process signals and modify filters based on values obtained using the methods.

Abstract: A method for simultaneously determining a genetic expression profile for an individual member of a species relative to an entire standard genome for the species. The method can comprise distributing a liquid sample into an array of reaction chambers of a substrate. The array can comprise a primer set and a probe for each polynucleotide target along the entire standard genome. The liquid sample can comprise substantially all genetic material of the member. Each of the reaction chambers can comprise the primer set and the probe for at least one of the polynucleotide targets and a polymerase. The method can further comprise amplifying the liquid sample in the array, detecting a signal emitted by at least one of the probes, and identifying the genetic expression profile in response to the signal.

Abstract: The present invention provide Mi nucleic acids encoding Mi polypeptides which confer resistance to nematodes and other pests. The Mi nucleic acids can be used to produce transgenic plants resistant to these pests.
