  • Patent number: 10934636
    Abstract: The present invention provides a novel method for preparing a sequencing library and studying molecular interactions involving a nucleic acid. In particular, the invention relates to a method for preparing a sequencing library, the method comprising the addition of an agent binding to chromatin to a sample comprising a nucleic acid; isolating chromatin bound by said agent; addition of transposase to the isolated chromatin; isolating nucleic acid from chromatin; and obtaining a sequencing library. Moreover, the present invention relates to a method for mapping of molecular interactions involving a nucleic acid, the method comprising the addition of an agent binding to chromatin to a sample comprising a nucleic acid; isolating chromatin bound by said agent; addition of transposase to the isolated chromatin; isolating nucleic acid from chromatin; amplification of nucleic acid; sequencing of amplified nucleic acid; and identifying molecular interactions.

  • Publication number: 20130296183
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates set of reference data or “scorecard” for a pluripotent stem cell, and methods, systems and kits to generate a scorecard for predicting the functionality and suitability of a pluripotent stem cell line for a desired use. In some aspects, a method for generating a scorecard comprises using at least 2 stem cell assays selected from: epigenetic profiling, differentiation assay and gene expression assay to predict the functionality and suitability of a pluripotent stem cell line for a desired use.

  • Patent number: 7218726
    Abstract: This invention relates to an administration device (1) for administering and modifying operating functions of exchanges (6a . . . 6n) in a telephone network. The operating functions are administered and modified by means of administration commands. Said device comprises co-ordination means (2) for co-ordinating operating functions concerning several exchanges (6a . . . 6n). The invention also relates to a method for administering and modifying operating functions of exchanges (6a . . . 6n), used in this administration device (1).
