  • Amplification of DNA fragments
    Patent number: 8501403
    Abstract: A method for detecting a nucleic acid molecule having a target sequence adjacent a 3? terminus is provided. Also provided is a method for differentiating nucleic acid molecules having a target sequence adjacent a 3? terminus from nucleic acid molecules in which the same sequence is embedded within the molecule.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 28, 2007
    Date of Patent: August 6, 2013
    Assignee: Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation
    Inventors: Peter Laurence Molloy, Keith Rand

  • Headloop DNA amplification
    Patent number: 7618773
    Abstract: A method for the selective amplification of a target nucleic acid in a sample comprising the target nucleic acid and at least one non-target nucleic acid, the method comprising amplifying the nucleic acids by means of at least one oligonucleotide primer comprising: a primer region that can prime and extend on the target and non-target nucleic acids; and a region that is an inverted repeat of an internal sequence of an amplicon of the at least one non-target nucleic acid but which contains at least one mismatch to the corresponding internal sequence, if present, of an amplicon of the target nucleic acid.
    Type: Grant

  • Melting Temperature Dependent Dna Amplification
    Publication number: 20080044812
    Abstract: A method for the selective amplification of at least one target nucleic acid in a sample comprising a mixture of at least one target nucleic acid and at least one non-target nucleic acid. The method comprises: a nucleic acid denaturation step, wherein the denaturation step is carried out at a temperature at or above the melting temperature of the at least one target nucleic acid but below the melting temperature of the at least one non-target nucleic acid an amplification step using at least one amplification primer.
