The invention provides methods for simultaneously amplifying multiple nucleic acid regions of interest in one reaction volume as well as methods for selecting a library of primers for use in such amplification methods. The invention also provides library of primers with desirable characteristics, such as minimal formation of amplified primer dimers or other non-target amplicons.

The present invention discloses a naïve antibody phage display library (APDL), a process for producing the same and a method of obtaining manufacturable antibodies as soluble Fabs from the antibody phage display library.

Described herein are systems and methods for multiplexed analysis of two or more targets in a test sample including a first set of particles including a first set of target-specific reagents and a first optically detectable identifier capable of emitting a first wavelength indicative of a first target, and at least one second set of particles including a second set of target-specific reagents and a second optically detectable identifier capable of emitting a second wavelength indicative of a second target; and at least one optically detectable reporter probe capable of constitutively emitting a third wavelength in response to reaction of the first set of target-specific reagents with the first target in the test sample and/or reaction of the second set of target-specific reagents with the second target in the test sample, wherein the first wavelength, the second wavelength, and the third wavelength are optically discernable from one another.

Provided are a method and a system for accurately distinguishing a micropartition in which a target gene or target DNA is placed and a micropartition in which a pseudogene is placed by a measuring device and accurately counting the target gene or target DNA in digital PCR using melting curve analysis. The method includes the steps of: placing a DNA solution in each of a plurality of partitions; performing PCR; changing a temperature of each of the partitions and measuring a fluorescence intensity; calculating a melting temperature of a double strand DNA for each of the partitions; counting the number of partitions for each type of the DNA; outputting the number of partitions counted for each type of the DNA; and discriminating the first gene and the pseudogene based on the melting temperature and the number of the counted partitions.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a novel digital PCR analysis method. In the digital PCR analysis method disclosed herein, a method for detecting DNA is used, which includes the steps of: dividing a DNA solution containing a fluorescent-labeled probe or a DNA intercalator and a plurality of DNAs to be detected into a plurality of compartments; carrying out PCR in the compartments; measuring a fluorescence intensity in association with a change in temperature; calculating a melting temperature from a melting curve for a DNA double strand measured on the basis of a change in fluorescence intensity, which is associated with the change in temperature; and calculating a temperature difference between two points with a slope of a predetermined value on a melting curve indicating a change in the fluorescence intensity.
