Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a method and kit thereof for isolating nucleic acids from wax-embedded samples using hexadecane as the solvent to dissolve the sample, precipitating and washing the extracted nucleic acids using ethanol, and dissolving the nucleic acids in a lysis buffer that includes NP40 and SDS. By implementing the reagents and techniques described in this disclosure, the user can obtain a product that has better yield, less degradation, and contains more unique mRNA transcripts for subsequent sequencing and analysis.
Abstract:
The present invention provides amplification-based methods for detection of genotype, mutations, and/or aneuploidy. These methods have broad applicability, but are particularly well-suited to detecting and quantifying target nucleic acids in free fetal DNA present in a maternal bodily fluid sample.
