The present invention provides modified single primer extension-based methods for generating an amplified library of fragments of a target gene or genome of interest from a sample of fragmented DNA, wherein the library is suitable for use in detecting, quantifying and/or sequencing the target gene or genome of interest. The present invention also provides compositions for use in such methods. In some embodiments the present invention provides methods and compositions specifically for detecting, quantifying and/or sequencing circulating tumor derived HPV DNA.

A LAMP primer set includes original LAMP primers of FIP, BIP, F3, and B3, and at least one autonomy primer. The original LAMP primers target regions F3, F2, F1C, B1C, B2, and B3 on nucleic acids, and the regions F3, F2, F1, B1C, B2C and B 3 C are located in order from 5′ end to 3′ end of a forward strand of the nucleic acids. The primer FIP includes oligonucleotides targeting F1C and F2, and the primer BIP includes oligonucleotides targeting B1C and B2. The at least one autonomy primer targets a region located beyond a region from F3 to B3.

The invention provides a method for detecting the presence of a target nucleic acid analyte, for example a pathogen or virus nucleic acid, in a sample using oligonucleotide probe-functionalised nanoparticles, where hybridisation of at least three different oligonucleotide probes to at least three different target sequences in the target analyte causes agglomeration of the nanoparticles and a visible colour change. The invention also provides a population of such oligonucleotide probe-functionalised nanoparticles and a related kit for detection of a target nucleic acid analyte.

This invention provides methods and systems for measuring the concentration of multiple nucleic acid sequences in a sample. The nucleic acid sequences in the sample are simultaneously amplified, for example, using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in the presence of an array of nucleic acid probes. The amount of amplicon corresponding to the multiple nucleic acid sequences can be measured in real-time during or after each cycle using a real-time microarray. The measured amount of amplicon produced can be used to determine the original amount of the nucleic acid sequences in the sample. Also provided herein are biosensor arrays, systems and methods for affinity based assays that are able to simultaneously obtain high quality measurements of the binding characteristics of multiple analytes, and that are able to determine the amounts of those analytes in solution. The invention also provides a fully integrated bioarray for detecting real-time characteristics of affinity based assays.
