Abstract
The present invention relates to methods of quantifying, amplifying, or preparing nucleic acid molecules, where the methods involve contacting a sample to be tested with nucleic acid molecule amplification reaction components and a label to form a reaction sample. The methods further involve partitioning the reaction sample into droplets or a gel and allowing nucleic acid molecule amplification to occur.
