Multiplexed Quantitative PCR End Point Analysis of Nucleic Acid Targets

摘要

Certain embodiments of the present invention are directed to one pot multiplexed quantitative PCR methods for end point analysis of a plurality of nucleic acid targets in a complex sample without user intervention, and to various encoded particles on which are immobilized one or more probes that hybridize with the plurality of targets. Certain other embodiments are directed to a new “multiple-color genetic variation detection method” that can detect SNPs and kit using one chamber multiplexed endpoint PCR and differentially labeled allele-specific primers (one recognizing only the wild type allele and one only the mutant allele).
