Laurie Kurihara 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: 20220186273
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods and compositions for adding tails of specific lengths to a substrate polynucleotide. The invention also contemplates methods and compositions for immobilization of tailed substrates to a solid support. The disclosure contemplates that the attenuator molecule is any biomolecule that associates with a tail sequence added to a substrate polynucleotide and controls the addition of a tail sequence to the 3? end of the substrate polynucleotide. The sequence that is added to the substrate polynucleotide is referred to herein as a tail sequence, or simply a tail, and the process of adding a nucleotide to a substrate polynucleotide is referred to herein as tailing.
