Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080199935Compositions and methods utilizing DNA polymerases - The invention features a novel isolated Family B DNA polymerase, a 08-21-2008
20080227159Compositions and Methods Using Split Polymerases - The invention relates to compositions and methods utilizing split polymerase enzymes composed of at least two discrete polypeptides that stably associate to form a single polymerase. The invention further relates to nucleic acid constructs for expressing the split polymerases of the invention, and methods for using the split polymerases of the invention. The enzymes of the invention are useful in many applications calling for the detectable labeling of nucleic acids and are particularly useful in quantitative PCR (QPCR) and DNA sequencing applications.09-18-2008
20080227661Mutant reverse transcriptase and methods of use - The invention relates to the generation and characterization of stable MMLV reverse transcriptase mutants. The invention also discloses methods of using stable MMLV reverse transcriptase mutants.09-18-2008

20100330556GENOME 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
20110027833THERMOSTABLE 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
