Abstract: Methods of using probes and probe sets for the detection of high grade dysplasia and carcinoma in cervical cells are described. Methods of the invention include hybridizing one or more chromosomal probes to a biological sample obtained from a subject and detecting the hybridization pattern of the chromosomal probes to the sample to determine whether the subject has high grade dysplasia or carcinoma. Methods of the invention also include preliminary screening the cells for a marker associated with a risk for cancer, and preferably involves screening for HPV infected cells by in situ hybridization using an HPV probe mixture.

Abstract: A method and system of matchmaking search based on people's combined astrological compatibility, which is calculated as a weighted average of people's compatibilities under different astrological teachings. The matchmaking is accomplished by constructing a table of combined compatibility and allowing people to search various data sources based on this combined compatibility. Each pair of combined astrological signs within the table is assigned a combined compatibility number depending on astrological compatibility of the people within this pair. The method and software program, are based on Western and Chinese combined, cross-referenced astrological compatibility charts.

Abstract: Methods for detecting cancer that include hybridizing a set of chromosomal probes to a biological sample obtained from a patient, and identifying if aneusomic cells are present in a selected subset of cells obtained from the biological sample are described. A set of chromosomal probes and kits for detecting cancer that include sets of chromosomal probes, are also described.

Abstract: A method of assay for target polynucleotides includes steps of isolating target polynucleotides from extraneous non-target polynucleotides, debris, and impurities and amplifying the target polynucleotide.

Abstract: New methods for performing sandwich assays have been discovered. The assays utilize dual capture probes and eliminate noise resulting from nonspecific binding of detector probe to capture probe.

Abstract: Improved nucleic acid probes capable of specifically hybridizing to rRNA of Listeria and not to rRNA of non-Listeria are described along with methods utilizing such probes for the detection of Listeria in food and other samples.
