  • Nucleic acid amplification
    Patent number: 6852494
    Abstract: Disclosed is an insoluble support that can be used, for example, for producing replicates of sample nucleic acids. The support includes a plurality of attached oligonucleotides that include a prokaryotic promoter sequence and a target annealing sequence 3? of the promote. The proximal end of the promoter sequence is spaced from the insoluble support by a distance greater than 10 nm.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 10, 2003
    Date of Patent: February 8, 2005
    Assignee: Linden Technologies, Inc.
    Inventors: Haisun Liao, Amy Anderson Deik, Natalia Mamaeva, Caroline Ngaara Woodward, Shin-Yih Chen, Yih Huang, Ming Shen, Simon W. Law, Tai-Nang Huang
  • Nucleic acid amplification
    Publication number: 20040161792
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of producing replicates of sample nucleic acids. The method can include providing an insoluble support comprising attached oligonucleotides, annealing sample nucleic acids to the attached oligonucleotides; constructing template nucleic acids by extending the attached oligonucleotides using a polymerase; and transcribing the template nucleic acids to produce RNA replicates of the sample nucleic acids The attached oligonucleotides comprise a promoter sequence and a target annealing sequence, and (2) the proximal end of the promoter sequence is spaced from the insoluble support by a predetermined distance.
