Abstract
Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture are provided for multiplex assays of target nucleic acids using thermal barcodes. In some cases, the thermal barcodes may be used with one or more signaling entities for improving multiplex assays. At least some of the methods described herein can be performed at relatively high throughput without the need for expensive and slow nucleic acid sequencing. In some cases, these methods may be implemented using a system or article comprising a plurality of droplets containing a target nucleic acid.
