  • Methods and compositions for improving efficiency of nucleic acids amplification reactions
    Patent number: 10787694
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods and compositions for improving the efficiency of nucleic acid amplification reactions. The invention encompasses hybrid polymerases that show increased processivity over wild type polymerases as well as decreased exonucleases activity. The invention also encompasses methods, compositions and kits for conducting nucleic acid synthesis and amplification reactions in which non-specific amplification of primers is reduced.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 11, 2018
    Date of Patent: September 29, 2020
    Assignee: Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.
    Inventors: Xiao-Song Gong, John Sullivan, Rongdian Fu, Yan Wang, Evan H. Bursey, Man Cheng
