  2. 1. Readout Strategies for Biomolecular Analyses

    Author : Jenny Göransson; Mats Nilsson; Charles Cantor; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Padlock probe; Selector probe; Rolling circle amplification; Single molecule detection; Amplified single molecule; Random array; Molecular medicine genetics and pathology ; Molekylär medicin genetik och patologi ;

    Abstract : This thesis describes three readout formats for molecular analyses. A common feature in all works is probing techniques that upon specific target recognition ideally results in equimolar amounts of DNA circles. These are then specifically amplified and detected using any of the techniques presented herein. READ MORE
