Ming Hsiu Ho 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).

  • Computer-aided techniques for analyzing biological sequences
    Publication number: 20030220748
    Abstract: Computer-aided techniques for analyzing biological sequences like nucleic acids are provided. The computer system may analyze hybridization intensities indicating hybridization affinity between nucleic acid probes and a sample nucleic acid sequence in order to call bases in the sample sequence. Multiple base calls may be combined to form a single base call. Additionally, the computer system may analyze hybridization intensities in order to monitor gene expression or the change in gene expression as compared to a baseline.
    Type: Application
    Filed: May 15, 2003
    Publication date: November 27, 2003
    Applicant: AFFYMETRIX, INC., a California corporation
    Inventors: Teresa A. Webster, MacDonald S. Morris, Michael P. Mittmann, David J. Lockhart, Ming-Hsiu Ho, Derek Bernhart, Luis C. Jevons
  • Methods and computer software products for multiple probe gene expression analysis
    Publication number: 20030216868
    Abstract: Methods and computer software products are provided for analyzing gene expression data. In one embodiment, the expression of a gene is determined by multiple probes in several experiments. A principal component analysis is performed to obtain the relative expression of the gene in these experiments.
    Type: Application

  • Exploiting genomics in the search for new drugs
    Publication number: 20030180774
    Abstract: The cellular effects of potentially therapeutic compounds are characterized in mammalian cells and yeast. In the latter case the effects can be characterized on a genome-wide scale by monitoring changes in messenger RNA levels in treated cells with high-density oligonucleotide probe arrays.
