  • NUCLEIC ACID MELTING ANALYSIS WITH SATURATION DYES
    Publication number: 20090117553
    Abstract: Methods are provided for nucleic acid analysis wherein a target nucleic acid is mixed with a dsDNA binding dye to form a mixture. Optionally, an unlabeled probe is included in the mixture. A melting curve is generated for the target nucleic acid by measuring fluorescence from the dsDNA binding dye as the mixture is heated. Dyes for use in nucleic acid analysis and methods for making dyes are also provided.
    Type: Application
    Filed: October 31, 2007
    Publication date: May 7, 2009
    Applicants: University of Utah Research Foundation, Idaho Technology, Inc.
    Inventors: Carl T. Wittwer, Luming Zhou, Virginie E. Dujols, Joseph A. Holden, Carlynn Willmore-Payne
