Abstract
The invention discloses methods and apparatus for characterizing trace nucleic acids that are biomarkers for disease. The methods and apparatus provide increased sensitivity to such trace nucleic acids, and allow analysis of nucleic acids present in a sample at only 0.01% of the wild-type sequences. The methods and apparatus are also designed for straightforward multiplexing, thus allowing pooling of clinical samples.
