Nucleic Acid Quantitation with Log-Linear Response Hybridization Probe Sets

Concentrations of different nucleic acid species in biological samples span many orders of magnitude. A real-time polymerase chain reaction maps the concentration of a target nucleic acid sequence log-linearly into cycle threshold to enable quantitation with a wide dynamic range but suffers from enzymatic biases. Here, we present a general design for constructing hybridization probe sets with highly log-linear response curves to enable accurate enzyme-free quantitation across large ranges (more than 6 logs) of target DNA concentrations. The sensitivity of each component probe is accurately adjusted via formulation stoichiometry to reduce the standard error of target quantitation down to 7%. As a proof of concept, we show multiplexed quantitation of three microRNA species in total RNA of the human brain and liver.
