`
`ENGLISH-ABST:
`
`The identification of pre-defined mutations expected to be present in a minorfraction of a cell
`population is important for a variety of basic research and clinical applications. The exponential,
`analog nature of the polymerase chain reaction is transformed into a linear, digital signal
`suitable for this purpose. Single molecules can be isolated by dilution and individually amplified;
`each product is then separately analyzed for the presence of pre-defined mutations. The
`process provides a reliable and quantitative measure of the proportion of variant sequences
`within a DNA sample.
