Patents by Inventor Joel Pel

Joel Pel 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).

  • Publication number: 20260117296
    Abstract: The invention generally relates to sequencing library preparation methods. In certain embodiments, two or more template nucleic acids are joined together by a linking molecule, such as a PEG derivative. Identical copies of a nucleic acid fragment or both strands of a duplex fragment may be linked together. The linked nucleic acids are amplified, creating linked amplicons. Emulsion PCR with linked primers creates linked template nucleic acids for seeding sequencing clusters and errors can be readily identified by their presence on only one of the linked fragments.

  • Patent number: 12606861
    Abstract: The invention generally relates to capturing, amplifying, and sequencing nucleic acids. In certain embodiments, copies of the sense and antisense strands of a duplex template nucleic acid are captured using linked capture probes and multiple binding and extension steps to improve specificity over traditional single binding target capture techniques. Methods of seeding sequencing clusters with sense and antisense strands of a target nucleic acid are also disclosed including identifying the strands using sense-specific barcodes and confirming base calls using two sense-specific sequencing reads. Linked adapters may be used to increase adapter ligation selectively or efficiency and yield.

  • Publication number: 20260103763
    Abstract: The invention uses (i) proximity sequencing (Pro-Seq), in which a fragment is copied redundantly in a manner such that an error introduced during copying does not appear in all copies, and/or (ii) linked target capture (LTC), whereby a nucleic acid is amplified by primers that are linked to target-specific probes to discover and/or detect phased variants as biomarkers.
