Reduction of bias in genomic coverage measurements

Abstract:

Methods are provided for detecting and quantitating molecules using fluidics. In some embodiments, the methods comprise minimizing or eliminating biases caused by label density, or minimizing or eliminated biases caused by factors other than label density. In some embodiments, the methods comprise automated identification of genetic structural variation. In some embodiments, the methods comprise analyzing blood to detect the presence of circulating DNA or cells from a fetus or tumor.
