Alexandre Melnikov 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: 12146186
    Abstract: The disclosed Hi-C protocol can identify genomic loci that are spatially co-located in vivo. These spatial co-locations may include, but are not limited to, intrachromosomal interactions and/or interchromosomal interactions. Hi-C techniques may be applied to many different scales of interest. For example, on a large scale, Hi-C techniques can be used to identify long-range interactions between distant genomic loci.

  • Patent number: 11767534
    Abstract: The invention provides methods for determining the activity of a plurality of nucleic acid regulatory elements. These methods may facilitate, e.g., the systematic reverse engineering, and optimization of mammalian cis-regulatory elements at high resolution and at a large scale. The method may include integration of multiplexed DNA synthesis and sequencing technologies to generate and quantify the transcriptional regulatory activity of e.g., thousands of arbitrary DNA sequences in parallel in cell-based as says (e.g., mammalian cell based assays).

  • Publication number: 20220411783
    Abstract: The subject matter disclosed herein is generally directed to isolating single cells and nuclei from tissue samples for use in the analysis of single cells from archived biological samples. The subject matter disclosed herein is directed to isolating single cells and nuclei from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues. The subject matter disclosed herein is also directed to isolating single nuclei that preserve ribosomes or ribosomes and rough ER from frozen tissues. The subject matter disclosed herein is also directed to therapeutic targets, diagnostic targets and methods of screening for modulating agents.

  • Publication number: 20130230857
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods for sequencing and genotyping of DNA useful for analysis of samples in which the target DNA represents a small portion (e.g., 10-1000-fold less) that a contaminating DNA source. Accordingly, the methods described herein are useful for sequencing or genotyping pathogen DNA, such as malaria DNA, in clinical samples taken from infected subjects.
