Abstract
The invention provides barcode libraries and methods of making and using them including obtaining a plurality of nucleic acid constructs in which each construct comprises a unique N-mer and a functional N-mer and segregating the constructs into a fluid compartments such that each compartment contains one or more copies of a unique construct. The invention further provides methods for digital PCR and for use of barcode libraries in digital PCR.

15. A method for labeling target material comprising:
-
segregating each of a plurality of targets into a fluid compartment; providing one or more copies of a construct that is unique for each fluid compartment, wherein each construct includes a unique N-mer and a functional N-mer; and associating each target with copies of the construct unique to the fluid partition. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
