Combining melting curve analysis enhances the multiplexing capability of digital PCR. Here, we developed a 14‐plex assay to simultaneously measure single nucleotide mutations and amplifications of KRAS and GNAS, which are common driver genes in pancreatic cancer precursors. This assay accurately quantified variant allele frequencies in clinical samples

Dimension reduction of high-dimension categorical data with two or multiple responses considering interactions between responses [PDF]
This paper models categorical data with two or multiple responses, focusing on the interactions between responses. We propose an efficient iterative procedure based on sufficient dimension reduction. We study the theoretical guarantees of the proposed method under the two- and multiple-response models, demonstrating the uniqueness of the proposed ...
