Patents by Inventor Phillip N. Gray

Phillip N. Gray 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: 11952613
    Abstract: Novel engineered compositions, reagents, and methods are described that facilitate NGS analysis of both random and specific nucleic acid sequences in a sample by providing high efficiency target enrichment and improved error suppression. Specifically, the design and use of engineered NGS dual adapter molecules with homology regions (HRs) targeted at the 5? and 3? regions of a double-stranded DNA target, unique molecule identifiers (UMIs), and NGS adapters allows target libraries to be created for subsequent NGS analysis.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20200140927
    Abstract: Provided herein is technology relating to depositing and/or placing a macromolecule at a desired site for an assay and particularly, but not exclusively, to methods and systems for transporting a macromolecule such as a protein, a nucleic acid, or a protein:nucleic acid complex to an assay site, such as the bottom of a nanopore, a nanowell, or a zero mode waveguide.

  • Publication number: 20150329855
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods, compositions, and kits for performing amplification (e.g., whole genome amplification) employing primers that have a 5? restriction site, a 3? random sequence (e.g., a random hexamer), and an identifiable barcode sequence. In certain embodiments, the amplification generates individual amplified sequenced that are ligated together to form concatamers containing at least two amplified sequences (e.g., not contiguous on the original target sequence) that are separated by the barcode sequences. In particular embodiments, a plurality of the concatamers are sequenced and aligned with an alignment algorithm that uses the barcode sequences to identify artificial junctions between amplified sequences.
