[0163] Experimental Results of Conditional Fluorescent Competitive Compositions

[0164] To experimentally verify the ability of the competing composition to enrich the target on the variants upon binding to the probe, experiments were designed and performed on conditionally fluorescent versions of the probe ( Figure 5 ). A probe is naturally dark until it hybridizes to a target or variant. By observing the fluorescent response to a sample of the variant with a small (loaded) amount of target, and the same amount of variant as in the absence of target, it can be deduced that enrichment is provided by the competing composition.

[0165] now refer to Figure 5 , 4 main products through image 3 The reactions described were formed; among these, 2 parameters involving the probe resulted in high fluorescence. The fluorescence generated by the target bound to the probe is denoted as f A , the fluorescence generated by the variant bound to the probe is denoted as f C , and the...

Abstract

The present disclosure describes the thermodynamic design and concentrations necessary to design probe compositions with desired optimal specificity that enable enrichment, detection, quantitation, purification, imaging, and amplification of rare-allele-bearing species of nucleic acids (prevalence<1%) in a large stoichiometric excess of a dominant-allele-bearing species (wildtype). Being an enzyme-free and homogeneous nucleic acid enrichment composition, this technology is broadly compatible with nearly all nucleic acid-based biotechnology, including plate reader and fluorimeter readout of nucleic acids, microarrays, PCR and other enzymatic amplification reactions, fluorescence barcoding, nanoparticle-based purification and quantitation, and in situ hybridization imaging technologies.
