Described herein are approaches for the improved detection, identification, and/or quantification of target nucleic acids. These approaches provide a means of detecting, identifying, and/or quantifying rare target nucleic acid molecules, including DNA and RNA molecules, from the same sample, and in the same reaction, by using 'hairpin barcode primers,' as the term is defined herein, to incorporate unique barcodes into target nucleic acids in a PCR pre-amplification step.
