Peter James Sheffield 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).

  • Patent number: 11718847
    Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for amplifying a pool of oligonucleotides, such as dual guide oligonucleotide constructs comprising sequences encoding a first guide RNA segment and a sequence encoding a second guide RNA segment. An amplification mixture is formed comprising the pool of oligonucleotides, an amplification enzyme, deoxyribonucleotide triphosphates, and primers. The amplification mixture is thermocycled a sufficient number of times and under conditions to produce a library of oligonucleotide constructs. The present methods and compositions provide dual guide libraries, including libraries that are essentially free of scrambled library members.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11549106
    Abstract: Provided herein is a method for fabricating transformable or transfectable molecules that includes an assembly reaction containing a variety of pre-made cassettes possessing ends that hybridize to one another, transforming or transfecting said molecules into a desired host cell and then selecting a transformed/transfected host cell containing plasmid molecules composed of said the cassettes. A kit for performing the method is also provided.
