| 20100330556 | GENOME ANALYSIS USING A NICKING ENDONUCLEASE - A method of genome analysis is provided. In certain embodiments, the method of comprises: a) contacting a genomic sample comprising a double-stranded DNA with a site-specific nicking endonuclease to provide a nicked double-stranded DNA comprising a plurality of nick sites, in which the nicking endonuclease nicks a site adjacent to a variable nucleotide; b) contacting the nicked double-stranded DNA with a polymerase in the presence of a nucleotide composition comprising a first labeled nucleotide comprising a first label, thereby producing a labeled double-stranded DNA that is not labeled at every nick site; c) stretching out the labeled double-stranded DNA to provide a stretched, labeled double-stranded DNA; and d) imaging the stretched, labeled double-stranded DNA to identify a labeling pattern on the stretched labeled double-stranded DNA. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20110027833 | THERMOSTABLE TYPE-A DNA POLYMERASE MUTANTS WITH INCREASED POLYMERIZATION RATE AND RESISTANCE TO INHIBITORS - The present invention provides mutants of DNA polymerases having an increased rate of incorporation of nucleotides into nucleic acids undergoing polymerization and having an enhanced resistance to inhibitors of DNA polymerase activity. The mutant polymerases are well suited for fast PCR applications, for PCR amplification of targets in samples that contain inhibitors of wild-type polymerases, and for fast PCR amplification of samples containing DNA polymerase inhibitors. In exemplary embodiments, the mutants are mutants of Taq DNA polymerase. | 02-03-2011 |
