Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for detection or quantification of a Target Genetic Sequence in a Genetic Sample using a Bipartite Probe. A Bipartite Probe is made of a Target Binding Sequence capable of hybridizing a Target Genetic Sequence and a Nucleic Acid Binding Probe Sequence capable of being transcribed during PCR into the Capture Probe Sequence where it can hybridize with a Signal Generation Molecule. The Signal Generation Molecule participates in the PCR reaction and confers a fluorescent quality to the PCR amplified product. The reaction temperature of each PCR cycle is reduced below the Tm of the Quencher Oligonucleotide thereby allowing quenching of the fluorescence of the non-incorporated Signal Generation Molecule. Fluorescent detection of each PCR cycle establishes a quantitative PCR result.

Abstract: This invention relates to methods and system for forensic screening. More specifically, this invention relates to various methods to detect or screen for at least one designated genetic sequences in a plurality of biological sample 40 using a template 30 in conjunction with a laboratory management software 24 to automatically control a workstation and to automatically rescreen samples 40 to achieve a high level of accuracy while tracking the samples 40 for chain of custody purposes.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method to rapidly provide genotype screening of a plurality of biological samples in a designated well of a microwell container for remote user by a screening laboratory. The screening method can be used to determine if a biological sample is heterozygous, homozygous or wild for a designated genetic sequence.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for to conduct transgenic and targeted mutagenesis screening of genomic DNA. This invention also provides a system for screening DNA for a designated genetic sequence. The system includes a computer having a processor, memory and web browser, wherein the computer receives instructions concerning the designated genetic sequence and other screening parameter selected from a remote user via a form of electronic communication, and an automatic screening device that analyzes samples of genomic DNA for the designated sequence.
