| 20080206772 | SAMPLE TREATMENT SOLUTION AND REAGENT KIT FOR PREPARING SAMPLE FOR DETECTING DNA METHYLATION - The present invention provides a sample treatment solution for preparing a sample for DNA methylation which can achieve stable detection results in detection of DNA methylation and be easily pretreated, comprising an aqueous solution containing a protease. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20090123923 | Method for obtaining information regarding quantity of DNA after non-methylated cytosine converting treatment in analysis of DNA methylation - The present invention provides an easy and accurate method for obtaining information regarding a quantity of DNA included in a sample used for analyzing a methylation of a target DNA, comprising steps of: treating a biological sample containing DNA including the target DNA with a non-methylated cytosine converting agent for converting non-methylated cytosine of the DNA into another base; and obtaining information regarding a quantity of DNA included in the sample treated in the treating step by using an oligonucleotide complementary to a cytosine-free region of the target DNA. | 05-14-2009 |
| 20090246784 | METHOD OF ANALYZING METHYLATED DNA - The present invention provides a method of analyzing methylated DNA, comprising steps of: (A) treating a DNA-containing sample with a restriction enzyme to obtain a sample containing a DNA fragment; (B) concentrating methylated DNA contained in the sample obtained in step (A) to obtain a methylated DNA concentrate; (C) subjecting the methylated DNA concentrate obtained in step (B) and a primer set to nucleic acid amplification reaction, wherein the primer set performs the nucleic acid amplification reaction in step (C) by using a template DNA which does not have a CpG site; (D) detecting an amplification product obtained in step (C); (E) judging whether the methylated DNA concentrate obtained in step (B) is appropriate as a sample for detection of methylated DNA, on the basis of the detection result of the amplification product in step (D); and(F) analyzing the methylated DNA contained in the methylated DNA concentrate. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20100240042 | METHOD OF DETECTING METHYLATED CYTOSINE - The method for detecting a methylated cytosine of the present invention comprises the steps of: | 09-23-2010 |
| 20100331207 | METHODS OF DETECTING NUCLEIC ACID WITH MICROARRAY AND PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR USE IN MICROARRAY DATA ANALYSIS - The invention provides a method of detecting, with a microarray, a target nucleic acid containing a base sequence to which a nucleic acid-binding protein binds, obtaining a signal from a correction probe not containing any sequence complementary to the base sequence to which the nucleic acid-binding protein binds for being used as a background to correct a signal obtained from a detection probe hybridizing to the target nucleic acid, as well as a computer program product for enabling a computer to detect, with a microarray, a target nucleic acid containing a base sequence to which a nucleic acid-binding protein binds. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20110027799 | KIT AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING WHETHER OR NOT UNMETHYLATED CYTOSINE CONVERSION TREATMENT IS PROPERLY CARRIED OUT AND METHOD FOR ANALYZING METHYLATED DNA USING THE SAME - Success or failure of unmethylated cytosine conversion treatment is determined by using a first primer set comprising plural primers that hybridize with a nucleic acid comprising a nucleotide sequence not containing cytosine in the nucleotide sequence of biological DNA that is subject to an unmethylated cytosine conversion treatment and a second primer set comprising plural primers that hybridize with a nucleic acid comprising a nucleotide sequence in which cytosine in a nucleotide sequence containing cytosine and not containing a CpG site is converted into a base other than cytosine, in the nucleotide sequence of biological DNA. | 02-03-2011 |
