Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090118128Preparation of templates for nucleic acid sequencing - The invention relates to methods of generating templates for a nucleic acid sequencing reaction which comprise: 05-07-2009
20100167954METHOD OF LIBRARY PREPARATION AVOIDING THE FORMATION OF ADAPTOR DIMERS - The invention relates to a method of preparing a library of template polynucleotides which reduces and/or prevents the formation of adaptor-dimers. The invention also relates to the use of a library of templates prepared using the method of the invention for solid-phase nucleic acid amplification. In particular, the invention relates to a method of preparing a library of template polynucleotides which have common sequences at their 5′ ends and at their 3′ ends which is substantially free of adaptor-dimers.07-01-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090117621Methods of nucleic acid amplification and sequencing - The invention relates to a method of amplifying one or more nucleic acid templates on a solid support in a nucleic acid amplification reaction, for example by solid-phase PCR using one or more amplification primers attached to the solid support. The method is characterised in that the amplification primers used comprise a template-specific portion which is a sequence of at least 26 consecutive nucleotides and are not capable of annealing to target regions in the template under conditions of the amplification reaction. The method is particularly useful for amplifying human genomic DNA.05-07-2009

20100218781Composition and Method for Dry Application of Mascara - A substantially dry mascara formulation, a mascara application composition and a method of applying the formulation is described. The substantially dry mascara formulation may be deposited on the surface of a carrier substrate and applied to the eye lashes by contacting the mascara and substrate to the eye lashes. An application tool may optionally be used to aid application of the formulation to the eye lashes. The present invention allows various desired color gradients, patterns or designs to be imparted to the eye lashes.09-02-2010
20110174328Ergonomic Mascara Applicator - An ergonomic applicator is provided for applying a cosmetic composition to the eyelashes. The applicator comprises a handle portion and a head portion wherein the longitudinal axis of the head portion is positioned or can be rotatably positioned at an obtuse angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the handle. The handle being suitable dimensioned for holding between the thumb and fingers without rotation of the handle. The head portion having at its distal end means for holding a charge of cosmetic composition and transferring it to the eyelashes on contact therewith, such as but not limited to, bristles, projections, indentations fins, tines, Velcro, teeth, grooves, sponges and flocked surfaces.07-21-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090136924RAPID GENERATION OF LONG SYNTHETIC CENTROMERIC TANDEM REPEATS FOR MAMMALIAN ARTIFICIAL CHROMOSOME FORMATION - Methods are described for construction of long synthetic arrays of DNA repeats, such as alphoid repeats or other repeat sequences. The methods include concatamerization of DNA into short repeats (for instance using rolling circle amplification or directional in vitro ligation), followed by assembling the short repeats into long arrays by homologous recombination during transformation into microbe cells. These methods can be described generally as Recombinational Amplification of Repeats (RAR). The long arrays are engineered centromere-like regions that allow one to construct mammalian artificial chromosomes with a predefined centromeric region structure. Artificial chromosomes, including human artificial chromosomes with a regulated centromere, and methods of their use are also provided05-28-2009
