  • METHODS AND MEANS FOR NUCLEIC ACID SEQUENCING
    Publication number: 20100028873
    Abstract: The present invention provides a nucleic acid sequencing method. The method comprises enriching a nucleic acid sample for target nucleic acids, where the nucleic acid sample is enriched through at least a first round of hybridization selection and amplification, and a second round of hybridization selection and amplification. The enriched nucleic acids are in a form convenient for sequencing with the Cantaloupe sequencing technology, which employs shotgun sequencing by hybridization (SBH) of immobilized rolling circle amplicons.

  • Method for genotyping microsatellite dna markers by mass spectrometry
    Publication number: 20050064419
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for enotyping microsatellite DNA markers. The described protocol is to convert a double-strand PCR fragment encoding the microsatellite of interest into a single-stranded DNA fragment of approximately 30-50 nucleotides. The produced fragment comprises the repeated region with a few flanking nucleotides and is suitable for analysis by mass spectrometry.

  • Method for identifying mutagenic agents which induce large, multilocus deletions in DNA
    Patent number: 5227289
    Abstract: An assay is disclosed for identifying mutagenic agents which include large, multilocus deletion events in cultured mammalian cells. The cell lines used are adenine phosphoribosyltransferase heterozygotes derived from CHO cells, which we disclose possess a genomic sequence variation near the above-mentioned gene. We present the nucleotide sequence surrounding this variation, enabling an efficient determination of the proportion of deletion mutants among the mutant colonies induced by the agent to be tested.
