  • Publication number: 20120077701
    Abstract: Novel means and methods for analyzing hybridization data derived from hybridization assays between a target nucleic acid and differently sequenced polynucleotide probes involve selecting probe sets that define reference sequences for sequence signatures and deriving useful data about the nature of the target nucleic acid molecule based on its hybridization to the probes. The methods are useful for determining whether the target contains a nucleic acid or polypeptide sequence signature, whether the target encodes a member of a gene family, or whether the target is derived from one of any number of genes.

  • Patent number: 6927032
    Abstract: This invention provides methods of monitoring the expression levels of a multiplicity of genes. The methods involve hybridizing a nucleic acid sample to a high density array of oligonucleotide probes where the high density array contains oligonucleotide probes complementary to subsequences of target nucleic acids in the nucleic acid sample.

  • Publication number: 20040081647
    Abstract: Disclosed is a family of novel protein constructs, useful as drugs and for other purposes, termed “adzymes,” comprising an address moiety and a catalytic domain. In some types of disclosed adzymes, the address binds with a binding site on or in functional proximity to a targeted biomolecule, e.g., an extracellular targeted biomolecule, and is disposed adjacent the catalytic domain so that its affinity serves to confer a new specificity to the catalytic domain by increasing the effective local concentration of the target in the vicinity of the catalytic domain. The present invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising these adzymes, methods of making adzymes, DNA's encoding adzymes or parts thereof, and methods of using adzymes, such as for treating human subjects suffering from a disease, such as a disease associated with a soluble or membrane bound molecule, e.g., an allergic or inflammatory disease.
