Patents by Inventor Igor Drasko Vilfan

Igor Drasko Vilfan has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Compositions and methods for enrichment of nucleic acids
    Patent number: 10435685
    Abstract: Methods are provided for reducing the complexity of a population of nucleic acids prior to performing an analysis of the nucleic acids, e.g., sequence analysis. The methods result in a subset of the initial population enriched for a target region, which is typically located within one or more target fragments. The methods are particularly useful for analyzing populations having a high degree of complexity, e.g., chromosomal-derived DNA, whole genomic DNA, or mRNA populations.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 14, 2016
    Date of Patent: October 8, 2019
    Assignee: Pacific Biosciences of California, Inc.
    Inventors: Yu-Chih Tsai, Igor Drasko Vilfan, Khai Luong
  • Identification of nucleic acid template-linked barcodes comprising nucleic acid modifications
    Patent number: 10294523
    Abstract: 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.
