Jorge Santo Domingo 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).

  • Species-specific primer sets and identification of species-specific DNA sequences using genome fragment enrichment
    Patent number: 8574839
    Abstract: Targeted sequencing of genetic regions that differ between two DNA preparations uses genomic fragment enrichment. This method can be used to study genetic variation among closely related species and microbial communities, particularly for identifying sources of fecal pollution.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 14, 2011
    Date of Patent: November 5, 2013
    Assignee: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
    Inventors: Orin C. Shanks, Jorge Santo Domingo, James E. Graham, Jingrang Lu
