A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12006534B2) discloses a method for detecting RNA molecules in cells or tissues. The method involves contacting a cell or tissue with a polynucleotide probe that hybridizes to specific target sequences of the RNA molecule. By extending the polynucleotide probe along the target sequence, a complement of the target sequence is generated and ligated to the probe, forming a circular oligonucleotide. This circular oligonucleotide is then amplified using an amplification primer and polymerase, followed by sequencing the target sequence to detect the RNA molecule. The method allows for the detection of RNA molecules with high specificity and sensitivity.

Furthermore, the patent also describes a method for incorporating modified nucleotides into nucleic acid molecules in cells or tissues. By hybridizing a polynucleotide probe to specific target sequences of an RNA molecule and generating a circular oligonucleotide, modified nucleotides can be incorporated into the primer used for amplification. These modified nucleotides, which may contain a blocking group or detectable label, can be used to identify complementary nucleotides of the extension product. The method provides a novel approach for studying nucleic acid molecules within cells or tissues, offering potential applications in research and diagnostics.
