`ABSTRACT
`
`Disclosed are compositions and a method for amplification
`0f and mumplex daemon 0f m01eCU1eS Of interest iHVolVing
`rolling circle replication. The method is useful for simulta-
`neously detecting multiple specific nucleic acids in a sample
`with high specificity and sensitivity. The method also has an
`inherently low level of background signal. A preferred form
`of the method consists of an association operation, an
`amplifi‘iation OPCFatiOF1> and a deuxtlon Operation The
`assoc1atlon operatlon mvolves assoc1atlon of one or more
`specially designed probe molecules, either wholly or partly
`nucleic acid, to target molecules of interest. This operation
`associates the probe molecules to a target molecules present
`in a sample. The amplification operation is rolling circle
`replication of circular nucleic acid molecules, termed ampli-
`fication target circles, that are either a part of, or hybridized
`to,
`the probe molecules. A single round of amplification
`“Sing “’11ng Cirde replication results in a large amplifica'
`tion of the amplification target circles. Following rolling
`circle replication, the amplified sequences are detected using
`combinatorial multicolor coding probes that allow separate,
`simultaneous, and quantitative detection of multiple differ-
`ent amplified target circles representing multiple different
`target molecules. Since the amplified product is directly
`proportional to the amount of target sequence present in a
`sample’ quantltatlve measurf’mems rehably.represem the
`amount Of a target sequence 1“ a sample~ Mal“ advantages
`of this method are that a large number of distinct target
`molecules can be detected simultaneously, and that differ-
`ences in the amounts of the various target molecules in a
`sample can be accurately quantified. It is also advantageous
`that the DNA replication step is isothermal, and that signals
`are strictly quantitative because the amplification reaction is
`linear and is catalyzed by a highly processive enzyme.
