Patent application number | Description | Published |
20110183320 | CLASSIFICATION OF NUCLEIC ACID TEMPLATES - Methods, compositions, and systems are provided for characterization of modified nucleic acids. In certain preferred embodiments, single molecule sequencing methods are provided for identification of modified nucleotides within nucleic acid sequences. Modifications detectable by the methods provided herein include chemically modified bases, enzymatically modified bases, abasic sites, non-natural bases, secondary structures, and agents bound to a template nucleic acid. | 07-28-2011 |
20110281768 | DIAGNOSTIC SEQUENCING WITH SMALL NUCLEIC ACID CIRCLES - Methods, substrates, and systems for diagnostic sequencing are provided. Small circles of nucleic acids from about 10 bases to about 200 bases can be sequenced, for example using template dependent sequencing by synthesis. The use of small circles of nucleic acids allows for repeated sequencing of the same portions of the nucleic acid, providing for higher accuracy sequence determinations. | 11-17-2011 |
20120003699 | SEPARTION OF TAGGED FRAGMENTS - Methods of separating tagged nucleic acid fragments from populations of fragments are provided. The fragments are produced from a population of tagged nucleic acids. In some cases, the population of tagged nucleic acids comprises a population of clonal nucleic acids. | 01-05-2012 |
20120115736 | NUCLEIC ACID SEQUENCE ANALYSIS - Provided are methods for sequencing a nucleic acid with a sequencing enzyme, e.g., a polymerase or exonuclease. The sequencing enzyme can optionally be exchanged with a second sequencing enzyme, which continues the sequencing of the nucleic acid. In certain embodiments, a template is fixed to a surface through a template localizing moiety. The template localizing moiety can optionally anneal with the nucleic acid and/or associate with the sequencing enzyme. Also provided are compositions comprising a nucleic acid and a first sequencing enzyme, which can sequence the nucleic acid and optionally exchange with a second sequencing enzyme present in the composition. Compositions in which a template localizing moiety is immobilized on a surface are provided. Also provided are methods for using data from analytical reactions wherein two different enzymes are employed, e.g., at a same or different reaction regions. | 05-10-2012 |
20120289408 | COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR NUCLEIC ACID SEQUENCING - Compositions and methods for nucleic acid sequencing include template constructs that comprise double stranded portions in a partially or completely contiguous constructs, to provide for redundant sequence determination through one or both of sequencing sense and antisense strands, and iteratively sequencing the entire construct multiple times. Additional sequence components are also optionally included within such template constructs. Methods are also provided for the use and preparation of these constructs as well as sequencing compositions for their application. | 11-15-2012 |
20120309650 | METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR NUCLEIC ACID SAMPLE PREPARATION - Provided are methods and compositions for the production of linear single-stranded nucleic acids, which can be used as templates in high-throughput sequencing systems. Also provided are methods and compositions for the production of closed single-stranded nucleic acid loops, which can be used as templates in high-throughput sequencing systems. | 12-06-2012 |
20120322666 | ISOLATION OF POLYMERASE-NUCLEIC ACID COMPLEXES - Compositions, methods and systems are provided for the isolation of polymerase-nucleic acid complexes. Complexes can be separated from free enzyme by using hook molecules to target single stranded regions on the nucleic acid. Active complexes can be isolated from mixtures having both active and inactive complexes by initiating nucleic acid synthesis so as to open up a portion of a double stranded region rendering that region single stranded. Hook molecules are targeted to bind the sequences that are thus exposed. The hook molecules bound to active polymerase-nucleic acid complex are isolated, and the active polymerase-nucleic acid complexes released. | 12-20-2012 |

20140155276 | ISOLATION OF POLYMERASE-NUCLEIC ACID COMPLEXES - Compositions, methods and systems are provided for the isolation of polymerase-nucleic acid complexes. Complexes can be separated from free enzyme by using hook molecules to target single stranded regions on the nucleic acid. Hook oligonucleotides are used to capture polymerase nucleic acid complexes where the nucleic acids comprise circular nucleic acids having a double stranded central region with hairpin regions on each end. Methods for loading such complexes onto substrates and for single molecule sequencing of such complexes are also provided. | 06-05-2014 |
