  • Method of diagnosing cancer and reagents therefor
    Patent number: 9157122
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods for diagnosis and monitoring the efficacy of treatment of a cancer. More particularly, the methods of the invention comprise detecting an enhanced degree of chromatin modification within Chromosome 2 of the human genome from about map position 2q14.1 to about map position 2q14.3 in a sample derived from a subject. The methods include detecting an enhanced level of methylation, or detecting an enhanced level of modification of a histone positioned within the chromatin within the region of about 2q14.1 to 2q14.3 of Chromosome 2. The methods also include detecting a modulated level of expression of a gene within the region of about 2q14.1 to 2q14.3 of Chromosome 2.

  • Melting Temperature Dependent Dna Amplification
    Publication number: 20080044812
    Abstract: A method for the selective amplification of at least one target nucleic acid in a sample comprising a mixture of at least one target nucleic acid and at least one non-target nucleic acid. The method comprises: a nucleic acid denaturation step, wherein the denaturation step is carried out at a temperature at or above the melting temperature of the at least one target nucleic acid but below the melting temperature of the at least one non-target nucleic acid an amplification step using at least one amplification primer.
