Patent number: 10240189Abstract: Solid support assays using non-standard bases are described. A capture oligonucleotide comprising a molecular recognition sequence is attached to a solid support and hybridized with a target. In some instances, the molecular recognition sequence includes one or more non-standard bases and hybridizes to a complementary tagging sequence of the target oligonucleotide. In other instances, incorporation of a non-standard base (e.g., via PCR or ligation) is used in the assay.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2015Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: LUMINEX CORPORATIONInventors: Jennifer K. Grenier, David J. Marshall, James R. Prudent, Craig S. Richmond, Eric B. Roesch, Christopher W. Scherrer, Christopher B. Sherrill, Jerod L. Ptacin

Patent number: 9611509Abstract: Assays using non-natural bases are described. In one embodiment, the method involves contacting a sample suspected of containing the target nucleic acid with a polymerase and first and second primers; amplifying the target nucleic acid by PCR using the first and second primers to generate an amplification product having a double-stranded region and a single-stranded region that comprises the non-natural base; contacting the sample with a reporter comprising a label and a non-natural base that is complementary to the non-natural base of the single-stranded region; annealing at least a portion of the reporter to the single-stranded region of the amplification product; and correlating a signal of the label with the presence of the target nucleic acid in the sample. The invention also provides corresponding kits for use in detecting target nucleic acids in a sample.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2013Date of Patent: April 4, 2017Assignee: LUMINEX CORPORATIONInventors: David J. Marshall, James R. Prudent, Christopher B. Sherrill, Gideon Shapiro, Jennifer K. Grenier, Craig S. Richmond, Simona Jurczyk, Jerod L. Ptacin
