  • Concatemeric DNA length standards
    Patent number: 5294545
    Abstract: The use of T7 bacteriophage to produce DNA length standards by enzymatically joining terminally repetitious, blunt-ended DNA has now been demonstrated. It is now possible to precisely control the formation of concatemeric DNAs thereby generating custom-made size-ranges of length standards. Furthermore, the standards thus produced are stable over time providing a highly reproducible and convenient product for the molecular biologist.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 3, 1991
    Date of Patent: March 15, 1994
    Assignee: Board of Regents, The University of Texas
    Inventors: Marjatta Son, Philip Serwer
