Journal ArticleDOI

Systematic quantification of HDR and NHEJ reveals effects of locus, nuclease, and cell type on genome-editing.

TL;DR: A novel, rapid, digital PCR–based assay that can simultaneously detect one HDR or NHEJ event out of 1,000 copies of the genome will enable mechanistic studies of genome-editing and help improve genome-EDiting technology.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Rapid Molecular Approach for Chromosomal Phasing

TL;DR: Drop-Phase is a molecular method for quickly ascertaining the phase of pairs of DNA sequence variants (separated by 1-200 kb) without cloning or manual single-molecule dilution, and effective at long genomic distances (200 kb).
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of Novel Mutation-Specific Droplet Digital PCR Assays Detecting TERT Promoter Mutations in Tumor and Plasma Samples.

TL;DR: Development of novel probe-based droplet digital PCR assays that specifically detect and quantify TERTmutant DNA in tumors and plasma of cancer patients are described and their application using human tumor and plasma samples from melanoma patients is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development and Clinical Utility of a Blood-Based Test Service for the Rapid Identification of Actionable Mutations in Non–Small Cell Lung Carcinoma

TL;DR: This study validates a blood-based genome-testing service that provides accurate results within 72 hours for targetable variants in advanced non-small cell lung carcinoma-epidermal growth factor receptor gene (EGFR) variant L858R, exon 19 deletion (ΔE746-A750), and T790M.

Digital assays for mutation detection

TL;DR: In this article, methods, compositions, and kits for detecting allelic variants using a single probe or a single primer set are presented, as well as methods and compositions for determining a polymerization error rate.
