  • Publication number: 20190000896
    Abstract: The invention relates in one aspect to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a nucleic acid delivery vehicle for delivering a deliverable nucleic acid into a bacterial cell, wherein the delivery vehicle comprises a deliverable nucleic acid packaged into one or more bacteriophage coat proteins, and wherein the delivery vehicle is capable of infecting the bacterial cell to introduce the deliverable nucleic acid into the cell, following which the deliverable nucleic acid is capable of forming a plasmid in the cell and being transmitted to one or more different bacterial cells by conjugation and not by infection. Compositions including a pharmaceutical composition comprising the delivery vehicle, and methods involving use or manufacture of the delivery vehicle, are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20170226562
    Abstract: Described herein is a method for adding a counter sequence to the individual polynucleotide molecules of an initial nucleic acid sample. After addition of the counter sequence, the sample may be amplified and the number of initial target molecules in the sample can be estimated by counting the number of counter sequences associated with the amplified target molecules.

  • Patent number: 9410149
    Abstract: Aspects of the present invention are drawn to processes for moving a region of interest in a polynucleotide from a first position to a second position with regard to a domain within the polynucleotide, also referred to as a “reflex method”. In certain embodiments, the reflex method results in moving a region of interest into functional proximity to specific domain elements present in the polynucleotide (e.g., primer sites and/or multiplex identifier). Compositions, kits and systems that find use in carrying out the reflex processes described herein are also provided.
