1. A method for identifying a genomic region of interest from a single source in a sample comprising DNA from two different sources, comprising the steps of:
- providing a sample comprising DNA from two different sources;
introducing to the sample a first set of oligonucleotide probes comprising a first fixed sequence oligonucleotide complementary to a 3′
region in a genomic region of interest and a second fixed sequence oligonucleotide complementary to a 5′
region in the genomic region of interest;
hybridizing the first set of oligonucleotide probes to the genomic region of interest in the sample;
ligating the hybridized oligonucleotides of the first set of oligonucleotide probes to create first ligation products complementary to the genomic region of interest;
introducing to the first ligation products a second set of oligonucleotide probes comprising a first fixed sequence oligonucleotide complementary to a 3′
region in the first ligation product and a second fixed sequence oligonucleotide complementary to a 5′
region in the first ligation product;
hybridizing the second set of oligonucleotide probes to the first ligation products;
ligating the hybridized oligonucleotides of the second set of oligonucleotide probes to create second ligation products complementary to the first ligation products, wherein junctions for ligation for the second set of oligonucleotides probes are different than junctions for ligation for the first set of oligonucleotides probes;
amplifying the second ligation products to create amplification products; and
analyzing the amplification products, wherein the analysis of the amplification products identifies the genomic region of interest from the single source in the sample.

12. A method for detecting a nucleic acid associated with active or latent infection in an individual, comprising the steps of:
-
introducing to a sample provided by the individual a first set of oligonucleotide probes comprising a first fixed sequence oligonucleotide complementary to a 3′
region in a nucleic acid associated with active or latent infection and a second fixed sequence oligonucleotide complementary to a 5′
region in a nucleic acid associated with active or latent infection;hybridizing the first set of oligonucleotide probes to the nucleic acid associated with active or latent infection in the sample; ligating the hybridized oligonucleotides of the first set of oligonucleotide probes to create first ligation products complementary to the nucleic acid associated with active or latent infection; introducing to the first ligation products a second set of oligonucleotide probes comprising a first fixed sequence oligonucleotide complementary to a 3′
region in the first ligation product and a second fixed sequence oligonucleotide complementary to a 5′
region in the first ligation product;hybridizing the second set of oligonucleotide probes to the first ligation products; ligating the hybridized oligonucleotides of the second set of oligonucleotide probes to create second ligation products complementary to the first ligation products; amplifying the second ligation products to create amplification products; and analyzing the amplification products, wherein the analysis of the amplification products identifies the nucleic acid associated with active or latent infection in the sample. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
