The present disclosure relates to methods for detecting unique genetic signatures derived from markers such as, for example, mutations, somatic or germ-line, in nucleic acids obtained from biological samples. The sensitivity of the methods provides for detection of mutations associated with a disease, e.g., cancer mutations, or with inherited disease, e.g., an autosomal recessive disease, in a noninvasive manner at ultra-low proportions of sequences carrying mutations to sequences carrying normal, e.g., non-cancer sequences, or a reference sequence, e.g., a human reference genome.

The present disclosure provides methods for detecting a single-stranded target RNA. The present disclosure provides methods of cleaving a precursor C2c2 guide RNA array into two or more C2c2 guide RNAs. The present disclosure provides a kit for detecting a target RNA in a sample.

The present disclosure is related to methods and materials for depleting unwanted RNA species from a nucleic acid sample. In particular, the present disclosure describes how to remove unwanted rRNA, tRNA, mRNA or other RNA species that could interfere with the analysis, manipulation and study of target RNA molecules in a sample.

The present disclosure relates to methods for increasing telomere length in one or more human cells and/or increasing genome stability of one or more human cells, for example by contacting one or more human cells with an agent that increases expression of Zscan4 in the one or more human cells. Methods of treating a subject in need of telomere lengthening, treating a disease or condition associated with a genomic and/or chromosome abnormality, of rejuvenating one or more human cells, of rejuvenating tissues or organs, and of rejuvenating a subject in need thereof, for example by contacting one or more human cells in the subject with an agent that increases expression of Zscan4, or by administering to a subject in need thereof, an agent that increases expression of Zscan4 are also provided.
