  • Rapid detection and identification of nucleic acid variants
    Patent number: 5888780
    Abstract: The present invention relates to means for cleaving a nucleic acid cleavage structure in a site-specific manner. Enzymes, including 5' nucleases and 3' exonucleases, are used to screen for known and unknown mutations, including single base changes, in nucleic acids. Methods are provided which allow for the identification of genetic mutations and the identification bacterial and viral strains and species in a sample.

  • Cleavase fragment length polymorphism
    Patent number: 5719028
    Abstract: A means for cleaving a nucleic acid cleavage structure in a site-specific manner is disclosed. A cleaving enzyme having 5' nuclease activity without interfering nucleic acid synthetic ability is employed as the basis of a novel method of detection of specific nucleic acid sequences.
