  • Patent number: 10011866
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for nucleic acid ligation. In particular, the present disclosure provides oligonucleotide adaptors for use in nucleic acid ligation reactions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 28, 2016
    Date of Patent: July 3, 2018
    Assignee: IBIS BIOSCIENCES, INC.

  • Publication number: 20180094288
    Abstract: The present invention provides compositions, kits, and methods for synthesizing polyadenylic acid using polynucleotide phosphorylase, adenosine diphosphate, a buffering agent, and a divalent metal cation. In certain embodiments, the adenosine diphosphate is present at a concentration between about 5.0 mM and about 100 mM, and the buffering agent has a pH around 8.0. In some embodiments, the prepared polyadenylic acid compositions are free of detectable nucleic acid.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 9890408
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods kits and systems for performing multiple displacement amplification reactions. In one method a sample of nucleic acid is provided. The nucleic acid is contacted with a reaction mixture which includes a set of oligonucleotide primers, a one or more polymerase enzymes and a detergent. The reaction mixture is then subjected to conditions under which the nucleic acid sequence is amplified to produce an amplified product in a multiple displacement reaction. The method may also be carried out by contacting the nucleic acid with the reaction mixture in the form of an emulsion. A kit is also provided for carrying out either the methods described above. The kit includes one or more polymerases, a plurality of primers and a detergent. The kit may also include a hydrophobic polymer and may include instructions for performing a multiple displacement amplification reaction on a nucleic acid sample.
