The present invention provides methods for detecting biomarkers based on Abscription®, abortive transcription technology. Particularly, the present invention provides bisulfate free methods for detecting methylation of CpG islands from small samples of DNA. The methods are suitable for multiplexing and can be used to analyze multiple CpG islands from a single sample in a short time.

1. A method for detecting at least one target polynucleotide in a sample comprising: a) contacting a sample containing the at least one polynucleotide with a primer pair that specifically hybridizes to and amplifies a target sequence of the at least one polynucleotide, wherein the primer pair consis
1. A method for detecting at least one target polynucleotide in a sample comprising: a) contacting a sample containing the at least one polynucleotide with a primer pair that specifically hybridizes to and amplifies a target sequence of the at least one polynucleotide, wherein the primer pair consists of: i) a first primer comprising (1) a 3′ sequence complementary to a first sequence flanking the target sequence of the polynucleotide, and(2) a 5′ capture tag;and ii) a second primer comprising: (1) a 3′ sequence complementary to a second sequence flanking the target sequence of the polynucleotide, and(2) a 5′ sequence that provides a means for directing Abscription;b) amplifying the target sequence from the first and second primers;c) contacting the amplified target sequence with an immobilized molecule that binds the 5′ capture tag, thereby capturing the amplified target sequence of the polynucleotide;d) transcribing at least one Abscript from the means for directing Abscription; and e) detecting at least one Abscript transcribed in step d). 2. The method of claim 1, wherein unbound reagents, primers and polynucleotides are washed from immobilized and captured polynucleotides prior to steps c-e. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein amplifying consists of performing a polymerase chain reaction. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the polymerase chain reaction is performed with at least one of a thermostable DNA polymerase and a thermostable RNA polymerase. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the 5′ capture tag is biotin and the molecule that binds to the 5′ capture tag is streptavidin. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the molecule that binds to the 5′ capture tag is immobilized on a solid support selected from a magnetic bead and a microtiter plate. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein a detectably labeled nucleotide is incorporated into the at least one Abscript during step d). 8. The method of claim 7, wherein the detectably labeled nucleotide is a fluorescent nucleotide. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein detecting the at least one Abscript comprises mass spectrometry, capillary electrophoresis or thin layer chromatography. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one Abscript is 3-20 nucleotides in length. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein the at least one Abscript is 3 nucleotides in length. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the means for directing Abscription comprises an abortive promoter cassette (APC). 13. The method of claim 1, wherein the means for directing Abscription comprises: i) A 5′ anti-Target Attachment Probe (α-TAP) sequence that identifies a unique CpG island; andii) a non-natural nucleotide between the 5′ α-TAP sequence and the 3′ sequence complementary to the second sequence flanking the target sequence; and step d) comprises: i) hybridizing a probe to the amplified target sequence, wherein the probe comprises a 5′ Target Attachment Probe (TAP) sequence complementary to the α-TAP sequence and a 3′ APC; and ii) transcribing at least one Abscript from the APC. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein the non-natural nucleotide prevents replication of the α-TAP during amplification, and thereby the α-TAP sequence remains single-stranded during steps a) through c). 15. The method of claim 14, wherein the non-natural nucleotide is etheno-deoxyadenosine. 16. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one target polynucleotide comprises a plurality of different target polynucleotides, and steps a) through e) are carried out simultaneously with a plurality of first and second primer pairs, each primer pair specifically hybridizing to a different target. 17. The method of claim 16, wherein the means for directing Abscription produces a unique Abscript for each of the plurality of targets. 18. The method of claim 17, wherein the unique Abscripts are distinguishable from each other on the basis of molecule weight or nucleotide sequence. 19. The method of claim 16, wherein the plurality of different target comprises at least 10 different targets. 20. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one target polynucleotide is a methylated CpG island and the sample comprises isolated methylated genomic DNA fragments. 21. The method of claim 20, wherein the methylated genomic DNA fragments are isolated by: a) cleaving a genomic DNA sample containing at least one methylated target polynucleotide with a restriction enzyme that does not cleave the target polynucleotide CpG island;b) contacting the cleaved genomic DNA with an immobilized Methyl CpG Binding Domain (MBD), thereby immobilizing methylated genomic DNA from the sample; andc) optionally, recovering the methylated genomic DNA from the immobilized MBD, thereby isolating methylated genomic DNA fragments. 22. The method of claim 21, wherein the MBD is a GST-MBD2 fusion protein. 23. The method of claim 22, wherein the GST-MBD2 fusion protein is immobilized on a glutathione-containing solid support.
