  • DP04 polymerase variants
    Patent number: 11708566
    Abstract: Recombinant DP04-type DNA polymerase variants with amino acid substitutions that confer modified properties upon the polymerase for improved single molecule sequencing applications are provided. Such properties may include enhanced binding and incorporation of bulky nucleotide analog substrates into daughter strands and the like. Also provided are compositions comprising such DP04 variants and nucleotide analogs, as well as nucleic acids which encode the polymerases with the aforementioned phenotypes.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 3, 2018
    Date of Patent: July 25, 2023
    Assignee: Stratos Genomics, Inc.
    Inventors: Mark Stamatios Kokoris, Marc Prindle, Jack Chase, Robert Busam, Michael Kovarik, Salka Keller, Megan Murt, Greg Thiessen
