Patents by Inventor Heinz-Ulrich Weier

Heinz-Ulrich Weier 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).

  • Y chromosome specific nucleic acid probe and method for determining the Y chromosome in situ
    Publication number: 20020090628
    Abstract: A method for producing a Y chromosome specific probe selected from highly repeating sequences on that chromosome is described. There is little or no nonspecific binding to autosomal and X chromosomes, and a very large signal is provided. Inventive primers allowing the use of PCR for both sample amplification and probe production are described, as is their use in producing large DNA chromosome painting sequences.
    Type: Application
    Filed: October 5, 2001
    Publication date: July 11, 2002
    Inventors: Joe W. Gray, Heinz-Ulrich Weier
