  • Method for analysing polynucleotide targets using tethered oligonucleotide probes
    Patent number: 8084211
    Abstract: A method of analysing a polynucleotide target involves incubating the target with an oligonucleotide probe, generally an array of immobilised oligonucleotide probes, to form a duplex, and using ligase or polymerase to extend one chain of the duplex. A point mutation or variable number tandem repeat section may be analysed. Arrays of immobilised oligonucleotides are provided for use in the method.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 7, 2006
    Date of Patent: December 27, 2011
    Assignee: Oxford Gene Technology IP Limited
    Inventors: Edwin Mellor Southern, Clare Elizabeth Pritchard, Stephen Charles Case-Green
