Abstract

Methods for the detection of ddPCR assay-generated amplicons by short minor groove binder-fluororophore-oligonucleotide-quencher (MGB-Fl-oligo-Q) probes. The short MGB-Fl-oligo-Q probes not only reduce background, but also show improved mismatch discrimination when compared to the same length non-MGB probes for detecting the ddPCR generated targets at room temperature.
