| 20080293046 | RNA detection assays - The present invention provides novel cleavage agents and polymerases for the cleavage and modification of nucleic acid. The cleavage agents and polymerases find use, for example, for the detection and characterization of nucleic acid sequences and variations in nucleic acid sequences. In some embodiments, the 5′ nuclease activity of a variety of enzymes is used to cleave a target-dependent cleavage structure, thereby indicating the presence of specific nucleic acid sequences or specific variations thereof. | 11-27-2008 |

The cleavage agents and polymerases find use, for example, for the detection and characterization of nucleic acid sequences and variations in nucleic acid sequences. In some embodiments, the 5′ nuclease activity of a variety of enzymes is used to cleave a target-dependent cleavage structure, thereby indicating the presence of specific nucleic acid sequences or specific variations thereof. | 05-05-2011 |
| 20120122105 | REAL TIME CLEAVAGE ASSAY - A cleavage-based real-time PCR assay method is provided. In general terms, the assay method includes subjecting a reaction mixture comprising a) PCR reagents for amplifying a nucleic acid target, and b) flap cleavage reagents for performing a flap cleavage assay on the amplified nucleic acid target to two sets of thermocycling conditions. No additional reagents are added to the reaction between said first and second sets of cycles and, in each cycle of the second set of cycles, cleavage of a flap probe is measured. | 05-17-2012 |

| 20090078574 | CHARGE TAGS AND THE SEPARATION OF NUCLEIC ACID MOLECULES - The present invention relates to novel phosphoramidites, including positive and neutrally charged compounds. The present invention also provides charge tags for attachment to materials including solid supports and nucleic acids, wherein the charge tags increase or decrease the net charge of the material. The present invention further provides methods for separating and characterizing molecules based on the charge differentials between modified and unmodified materials. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20090142754 | RNA Detection Assays - The present invention provides novel cleavage agents and polymerases for the cleavage and modification of nucleic acid. The cleavage agents and polymerases find use, for example, for the detection and characterization of nucleic acid sequences and variations in nucleic acid sequences.

| 20090253142 | COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR ANALYSIS OF NUCLEIC ACID MOLECULES DURING AMPLIFICATION REACTIONS - The present invention provides systems, methods and kits for performing a detection assay (e.g., invasive cleavage assay) in combination with an amplification assay (e.g., PCR), where the detection assay employs enzyme footprint probes with relatively short (e.g., 6-12 bases) analyte-specific regions configured to provide a preferred footprint length of duplex for use with a particular nucleic acid modifying enzyme. In some embodiments, such assays are used for target quantification, and in other embodiments, such assays are used for genotyping. In certain embodiments, the use of such short probes allows for assays with increased dynamic range. | 10-08-2009 |
| 20090299641 | METHODS AND APPLICATIONS FOR TARGET QUANTIFICATION - The present invention provides methods and software applications for quantifying a target in an experimental sample by collecting and processing initial signal data from the experimental sample and at least two standard control samples containing known target copy numbers. In this regards, the present invention allows the quantification of target copy number in the experimental sample. | 12-03-2009 |
