Patents by Inventor Daniel John Turner

Daniel John Turner 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).

  • Sample preparation method
    Patent number: 9551023
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for modifying a template polynucleotide for characterization, especially for nanopore sequencing. The method produces a modified polynucleotide which is complementary to the template polynucleotide at some positions and which contains universal or abasic nucleotides at the other, and in some instances predicable, positions. The resulting modified polynucleotide can then be characterized.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 6, 2013
    Date of Patent: January 24, 2017
    Assignee: Oxford Nanopore Technologies Ltd.
    Inventors: Daniel John Turner, Clive Gavin Brown, Stuart William Reid, James Anthony Clarke, James White, David Jackson Stoddart
  • ENZYME STALLING METHOD
    Publication number: 20160010147
    Abstract: The invention relates to new methods of moving helicases past spacers on polynucleotides and controlling the loading of helicases on polynucleotides. The invention also relates to new methods of characterising target polynucleotides using helicases.
    Type: Application

  • QUADRUPLEX METHOD
    Publication number: 20150301015
    Abstract: The invention relates to a new method of determining in a sample the presence, absence or concentration of one or more target analytes, such as micro-ribonucleic acids (microRNAs or miRNAs). The invention may therefore relate to a multiplex assay for determining the presence or absence of each target analyte in a group of multiple analytess. The invention uses one or more probes comprising a quadruplex and transmembrane pores.

  • APTAMER METHOD
    Publication number: 20150177237
    Abstract: The invention relates to a new method of determining in a sample the presence or absence of one or more analyte members of a group of two or more analytes. The invention therefore relates to a multiplex assay for determining the presence or absence of each analyte in a group of multiple analytes. The assay uses aptamers and transmembrane pores.
