  • Nucleic acid amplification using nicking agents
    Patent number: 7112423
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods and kits for amplifying target nucleic acids (including whole genomes) using nicking agents. In certain aspects, the amplification does not require the use of any external oligonucleotide primers that are capable of annealing to a portion of the target nucleic acid. This invention is useful in many areas such as genetic disease diagnoses, forensic analyses and palcoarcheological studies.

  • Cationic polyelectrolytes in biomolecule purification and analysis
    Publication number: 20040029143
    Abstract: Cationic polyelectrolyte comprising multiple quaternary ammonium residues, e.g., poly(diallyldimethylammonium)chloride (PDADMAC) may be used in analytical and separation techniques involving polynucleotides. This polymer and polynucleotides form a strong interaction that may be utilized in separation techniques for polynucleotides, and for stabilizing polynucleotides on a surface.
