Abstract
Methods for capturing and characterizing low frequency nucleic acid molecules indicative of diseases such as cancer (e.g. adenomas or early stage cancers) are provided. In some aspects, a low complexity capture technique is combined with a high complexity analytical technique. In some aspects, samples may be analyzed using a digital analysis and/or a single molecule sequencing technique.
