  • Method and system for genotyping
    Patent number: 5580728
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to a process which can be fully automated for accurately determining the alleles of STR genetic markers. More specifically, the present invention is related to performing PCR amplification on a location of DNA, labelling the PCR products, converting the labels into a signal, removing a reproducible PCR stutter pattern from the signal by means of a computational device, and then determining the genotype of the location of the DNA. The invention also pertains to genetics applications and systems which can effectively use this genotyping information.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and system for genotyping
    Patent number: 5541067
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to a process which can be fully automated for accurately determining the alleles of STR genetic markers. More specifically, the present invention is related to performing PCR amplification on locations of DNA, labelling the PCR products, converting the labels into a signal, removing a reproducible PCR stutter pattern from the signal by means of a computational device, and then determining the genotype of the location of the DNA. An amplification can include multiple locations from the DNA of one or more individuals. The invention also pertains to genetics applications and systems which can effectively use this genotyping information.
