  • Publication number: 20200399683
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for the selective extraction of rare molecular species from a mixture containing a predominance of related molecular species, and their subsequent release are provided. Compositions include a segregating probe having a target-specific targeting portion, a protecting portion, a scissile or cleavable site or portion, and a capture portion. Complex formation between the targeting portion and the target rare species results in protection of the cleavable site. Such complexes remain intact through a cleavage step directed to the cleavable site or portion of the segregating probe. While complex formation can occur between a segregating probe and a related, but non-target, species the cleavable site is not protected in such complexes. A subsequent capture step directed to the capture portion selectively captures or segregates the target rare species from the general milieu, which can be removed by washing.
