Multiplex Super-Selective PCR Assays for the Detection and Quantitation of Rare Somatic Mutations

Professor Fred Kramer spoke at the recent Research & Technology Series exploring Flow Cytometry / qPCR & Digital PCR / Liquid Biopsies. During his presentation, he explained how Super Selective primers enable the simultaneous identification and quantitation of rare somatic mutations in routine multiplex PCR assays, while virtually eliminating signals from abundant closely related wild-type sequences.

DNA is no longer just ACGT: synthetic DNA is here to stay

One of the most amazing aspects surrounding us is life itself – not just humans, but the environment: trees, flowers, insects, animals and even bacteria. They all share one central molecule which is crucial for their existence.

Digital-Droplet PCR Gets Another ‘D’

Triple-d PCR enhances digital PCR sensitivity and precision for liquid biopsies

Digital-droplet PCR (ddPCR) has been implemented in diverse fields such as cancer biomarkers, viral load detection, prenatal screening, organ donor rejection, or library assessment for next generation sequencing. Detection of emerging resistance or minimal residual disease via ddPCR in liquid biopsies is also growing rapidly.

Case Study: High-throughput SNP Screening Downstream of CRISPR/Cas9 Gene Editing

One of the most powerful applications of genome editing is the introduction of nucleotide substitutions in specific genomic sites. This can be used to mimic single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) or to generate stop codons that yield precise gene knockouts. However, screening hundreds of clones for a single edited nucleotide remains a challenge, especially in the absence of a corresponding phenotype.

Busting Common Myths about Quantitative PCR & Digital PCR

qPCR and dPCR are mature analytical methods for quantifying selected genetic materials in a sample. Both utilise the PCR method to amplify amounts as small as a single molecular fragment (template) to levels where they can be easily detected, usually by fluorescence techniques.
