  • Patent number: 11847659
    Abstract: Methods and system for a unique coding framework used to create, manage and track instructions for documentation and dissemination of instructions, indicate a particular association or activate a given process. In one example, the present disclosure relates to the online publishing of documentation to demonstrate relationships of parties and compliance with regulatory and other requirements. The present disclosure uses URL hyperlinks, badges, watermarks, icons and visual displays that are representative of a given function and that may be identified by reference of unique coding structure. The present disclosure relates to the publishing and display of relevant visual codes or images for viewing by members of the public, (human readable) as well as machines. The present disclosure enables the tracking and measurement of uses of coded representations in public or private channels. Structured hyperlink codes allow brief messages to be sent in shortened form to instruct or deliver messages or processes.

  • Publication number: 20230295712
    Abstract: The invention provides a method of selectively characterising polynucleotides of a desired property, such as length, using a nanopore, based on the translocation of the polynucleotide through or across the nanopore. Kits and systems for use in such methods are also provided. The methods of the invention are particularly suitable for sequencing polynucleotides such as DNA.

  • Patent number: 11739379
    Abstract: The invention provides a method of detecting a target polynucleotide in a sample comprising: (a) contacting the sample with a guide polynucleotide that binds to a sequence in the target polynucleotide and a polynucleotide-guided effector protein, wherein the guide polynucleotide and polynucleotide-guided effector protein form a complex with any target polynucleotide present in the sample; (b) contacting the sample with a membrane comprising a transmembrane pore; (c) applying a potential to the membrane; and (d) monitoring for the presence or absence of an effect resulting from the interaction of the complex with the transmembrane pore to determine the presence or absence of the complex, thereby detecting the target polynucleotide in the sample.

  • Publication number: 20220403368
    Abstract: A method of preparing a nucleic acid construct for single molecule characterisation, comprising contacting a target polynucleotide with: a polynucleotide-guided effector protein, a guide polynucleotide; a transposase; and a transposable element comprising a modified polynucleotide, wherein the polynucleotide-guided effector protein directs said transposase to a region of interest within the target polynucleotide and the transposase inserts the transposable element into the polynucleotide, thereby producing a nucleic acid construct for single molecule characterisation.
