Abstract: Disclosed herein, are compositions, methods, and kits comprising engineered reverse transcription enzymes that exhibit several desired properties such as thermal stability, processive reverse transcription, non-templated base addition, and template switching ability. The engineered reverse transcription enzymes described herein demonstrate unexpectedly higher resistance to cell lysate inhibition, greater ability to capture full-length mRNA transcripts, and demonstrate improved results in small reaction volumes as compared to other engineered reverse transcription enzymes.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for the identification of genetic-related information are provided. At least portions of methods provided herein may be performed without thermocycling. Methods and compositions may include reagents such as nucleic acid polymerases and primers.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for the amplification of nucleic acids and generation of concatemers are disclosed. Amplification methods provided herein may be performed under isothermal conditions. Methods and compositions may include reagents such nucleic acid polymerases and primers.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for detecting infections in a clinical sample are provided. Small-volume clinical samples obtained at a point-of-service (POS) location and may be tested at the POS location for multiple markers for multiple diseases, including upper and lower respiratory diseases. Samples may be tested for cytokines, or for inflammation indicators. Dilution of samples, or levels of detection, may be determined by the condition or past history of a subject. Test results may be obtained within a short amount of time after sample placement in a testing device, or within a short amount of time after being obtained from the subject. A prescription for treatment of a detected disorder may be provided, and may be filled, at the POS location. A bill may be automatically generated for the testing, or for the prescription, may be automatically sent to an insurance provider, and payment may be automatically obtained.

Abstract: Improved methods for amplifying target nucleic acid sequences are provided by 1) first amplifying the number of copies of target nucleic acid sequences in a sample by a first nucleic acid amplification method, and then 2) applying a second nucleic amplification method to the amplified sample, or aliquot thereof, further amplifying the number of copies of target sequences. In embodiments, a first nucleic acid amplification method is a thermocycling method, and a second nucleic acid amplification method is an isothermal method.
