ACCURATE AND MASSIVELY PARALLEL QUANTIFICATION OF NUCLEIC ACID

摘要

The present invention disclosure relates to a next generation DNA sequencing method and use for accurate and massively parallel quantification of one or more nucleic acid targets. More particularly, the invention is related to the method and a kit comprising probes for detecting and quantifying genetic targets in complex DNA pools primarily used for genetic target and variant detection in human and animal populations and environmental samples. Furthermore, the invention finds particular application in the field of detection of disease-causing genetic alterations in samples obtained from human body, including without limiting biopsies, saliva and other secretions, exhaled moisture extracts, tissue, blood plasma (liquid biopsies) or the like. The invention includes one or more target-specific nucleic acid probes per genetic target (left probe and right probe) and a bridge oligo.
