Patents by Inventor Jason Barnett

Jason Barnett 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).

  • Detection of fungal pathogens using the polymerase chain reaction
    Publication number: 20030099975
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of primers in polymerase chain reaction assays for the detection of fungal pathogens Colletotrichum acutatum, Alternaria spp., and Cladosporium carpophilum. Specific primers are identified as being useful for the identification of fungal isolates using PCR based techniques. Also described are novel extraction buffer solutions for use in isolating DNA from an organism, methods of extracting DNA from tissue, and methods of performing PCR analysis on DNA extracted from tissue.
    Type: Application

  • PCR-based detection of Rhizoctonia cerealis
    Patent number: 6485907
    Abstract: Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) DNA sequences from the ribosomal RNA gene region are described for different strains of the wheat fungal pathogen, Rhizoctonia cerealis. Specific primers from within these sequences are identified as being useful for the identification of Rhizoctonia cerealis using PCR-based techniques.

  • PCR-based detection and quantification of Tapesia yallundae and Tapesia acuformis
    Patent number: 6319673
    Abstract: The present invention provides primers and probes for use in TaqMan™ quantitative PCR assays for the detection of Tapesia yallundae (syn. Pseudocercosporella herpotrichoides W-type) and Tapesia acuformis (syn. Pseudocercosporella herpotrichoides R-type). The present invention also provides primers and probes for use in TaqMan™ quantitative PCR control assays for the detection of wheat DNA.
