Abstract
Complex mixtures of nucleic acids occur in numerous systems, including environmental samples (e.g., groundwater, sediment), skin, feces, and blood. Often, it is desirable to be able to identify and measure the amount of a particular analyte DNA in a mixture. When there are multiple analyte DNAs of interest, multiplexing techniques can speed up the analysis.
