The present invention relates to methods, kits, and compositions for generating purified RNA samples and purified DNA samples. In particular, the present invention provides methods for generating a purified RNA or DNA sample from a sample containing both DNA and RNA molecules using a binding matrix that preferentially binds DNA or RNA in the presence of an acidic dilution buffer, or using a binding matrix that comprises acid zeolites, as well as compositions and kits for practicing such methods.

Nucleic acid purification with a binding matrix

Processes are disclosed using the depolymerization of a nucleic acid hybrid to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze for the presence of a predetermined nucleic acid. Applications of those processes include the detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms, identification of single base changes, speciation, determination of viral load, genotyping, medical marker diagnostics, and the like.

Detection of nucleic acid hybrids

Processes are disclosed using the depolymerization of a nucleic acid hybrid to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze for the presence of predetermined nucleic acid target sequences using a multiplex assay format. Applications of those processes include the detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms, identification of single base changes, speciation, genotyping, medical marker diagnostics, and the like.

Multiplex method for nucleic acid detection

Processes are disclosed using the depolymerization of a nucleic acid hybrid to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze for the presence of a predetermined endogenous nucleic acid. Applications of those processes include the detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms, identification of single base changes, speciation, determination of viral load, genotyping, medical marker diagnostics, and the like.

Nucleic acid detection

The detection of enhanced, targeted predetermined nucleic acid sequences in nucleic acid target hybrids, and the various applications of target nucleic acid enhancement are disclosed.

Deploymerization method for nucleic acid detection of an amplified nucleic acid target

Processes are disclosed using the depolymerization of a nucleic acid hybrid to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze for the presence of a predetermined exogenous nucleic acid. Applications of those processes include the detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms, identification of single base changes, determination of viral load, genotyping, medical marker diagnostics, and the like.

Exogenous nucleic acid detection

Mass spectrometric, absorbance spectroscopic and fluorescence spectroscopic processes are disclosed to detect the depolymerization of a nucleic acid hybrid in order to qualitatively and quantitatively assay for the presence of a predetermined nucleic acid target. Applications of those processes include the detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms, identification of single base changes, speciation, determination of viral load, genotyping, medical marker diagnostics, and the like, including multiplexed assays.
