  • Patent number: 12404547
    Abstract: A method for sequencing can be used to monitor a recipient of an allograft. A sample comprising nucleic acid molecules can be provided from the recipient of the allograft. A plurality of nucleic acid molecules can be isolated from the sample and amplified. The plurality of nucleic acid molecules can be subjected to one or more amplification reactions using a plurality of primers to generate a plurality of DNA molecules. The plurality of primers can target at least 100 independent polymorphisms. The DNA molecules, or derivatives thereof, can be sequenced. The method may not require genotyping of the recipient.
