Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009127408A1] A process for the quantitative determination of the number of at least one predetermined sequence in a biological sample comprises the steps: a) providing a biological sample which contains a nucleic acid, b) fragmenting the nucleic acid present in the biological sample, c) dividing the sample obtained in step b) into at least two subsamples, d) adding in each case at least two primer pairs to each of the at least two subsamples, where in each case the same primer pairs are added to each of the subsamples and where the individual primer pairs are adapted to amplify, in one amplification reaction, in each case different part-sequences of the at least one predetermined sequence, e) carrying out an amplification reaction with each of the at least two subsamples obtained in step d), f) determining the number of different amplificates obtained by the amplification reactions in step e) for the individual subsamples, and determining the number of subsamples with which in each case identical amplificates have been obtained.
