Provided herein are products and processes for detecting the presence or absence of multiple target nucleic acids. Certain methods include amplifying the target nucleic acids, or portion thereof; extending oligonucleotides that specifically hybridize to the amplicons, where the extended oligonucleotides include a capture agent; capturing the extended oligonucleotides to a solid phase via the capture agent; releasing the extended oligonucleotide by competition with a competitor; detecting the extended oligonucleotide, and thereby determining the presence or absence of each target nucleic acid by the presence or absence of the extended oligonucleotide.

Products and processes for multiplex nucleic acid identification

The technology relates in part to quantification of a minority nucleic acid species from a nucleic acid sample. In some embodiments, methods for determining the amount of fetal nucleic acid (e.g. absolute amount, relative amount) in a maternal sample are provided.
