METHOD AND KIT FOR DETECTING GENOME EDITING AND APPLICATION THEREOF
A method and a kit for detecting genome editing and application thereof belongs to the field of genome editing efficiency detection, and the getPCR method for determining genome editing efficiency includes quantifying wild-type DNA in a genome to be tested and calculating the percentage of the wild-type DNA to determine the genome editing efficiency. The method has been proved to have good detection accuracy and simple operation, and can be applied to all genome editing methods to quantify genome editing efficiency and screen single-cell clones.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING ANALYTES IN ASSAY USING NORMALIZED TM VALUES
Techniques are provided for generating an array-specific range of Tm values to be used for calling a sample in a given array positive or negative for a target nucleic acid sequence. A sample well in an array is provided with a control sample containing a control nucleic acid sequence. The control sample is amplified by thermal cycling the sample well. A Tm value for the control sample is identified and compared to an expected Tm value for the control nucleic acid sequence to calculate a relationship between the identified control Tm value and the expected control Tm value. By applying this relationship to an expected Tm value for a target nucleic acid sequence, an array-specific range of Tm values for the target nucleic acid sequence is generated and can be used for calling an experimental sample in the same array positive or negative for the target nucleic acid sequence.

Non-invasive prenatal diagnosis of fetal genetic condition using cellular DNA and cell free DNA
Disclosed are methods for determining at least one sequence of interest of a fetus of a pregnant mother. In various embodiments, the method can determine one or more sequences of interest in a test sample that comprises a mixture of fetal cellular DNA and mother-and-fetus cfDNA. In some embodiments, methods are provided for determining whether the fetus has a genetic disease. In some embodiments, methods are provided for determining whether the fetus is homozygous in a disease causing allele when the mother is heterozygous of the same allele. In some embodiments, methods are provided for determining whether the fetus has a copy number variation (CNV) or a non-CNV genetic sequence anomaly.
