The present disclosure relates to probes and methods for detecting nucleic acids, and for detecting and treating neovas-cularization.

Provided herein are compositions and methods for enriching a sample for nucleic acids of interest relative to nucleic acids targeted for depletion, comprising using differences in nucleotide modification between the nucleic acids of interest and the nucleic acids targeted for depletion.

Provided herein are methods for mapping modified nucleotide residues in nucleic acids. The methods include providing a nucleic acid sample in which non-target or target modified and unmodified nucleotide residues are converted to form of a different nucleotide (such a “C” being converted to “T”). Second strand synthesis is then performed on the converted nucleic acids using a set of anchored-base primers. Each primer in the set of anchored-base primers comprises one or more anchor bases at the 3′ terminus that are complementary to the target nucleotide (e.g., “G” or “CpG”), and a sequence of nucleotides selected from a set of sequences that could be a fully or partially degenerate set of sequences. For example, the sequence could be 5′-XnG-3′ and/or 5′-X(n−1)CG-3′, wherein X is any base, and n=2 to 25. Double-stranded nucleic acid products can be analyzed, for example by amplification and high throughput sequencing.

The present invention relates to a kit and a method of linear amplification of a least one nucleic acid target in a sample, said method comprising: (a) contacting each target in the sample with a nucleic acid polymerase and a primer comprising a component preventing copying of the primer by the nucleic acid polymerase; and at least one nuclease blocking nucleotide; (b) generating a primer extension product; (c) preventing priming by the 3′-end of the primer extension product, and (d) repeating steps b) and c) at least once.

A method of nucleic acid amplification involving using a first modified primer which provides protection to the amplification product from exonuclease degradation and a second primer. The method provides a double stranded nucleic acid, one strand of which is degraded by a double strand nucleic acid specific exonuclease to form a single stranded nucleic acid, which is protected from exonuclease degradation.
