Nancy J. Schoenbrunner has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10724016
    Abstract: Disclosed are mutant DNA polymerases having increased 3?-mismatch discrimination relative to a corresponding, unmodified polymerase. The mutant polymerases are useful in a variety of disclosed primer extension methods. Also disclosed are related compositions, including recombinant nucleic acids, vectors, and host cells, which are useful, e.g., for production of the mutant DNA polymerases.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7148049
    Abstract: The present invention provides thermostable or thermoactive DNA polymerases with attenuated 3?-5? exonuclease activity, methods for their synthesis, methods for their use, kits comprising the polymerases, nucleic acids encoding the polymerases and cells comprising such a nucleic acid. The DNA polymerases of the invention are useful in many recombinant DNA techniques, such as nucleic acid amplification by the polymerase chain reaction. The DNA polymerases of the invention allow higher fidelity replication and amplification of a template DNA sequence, allow less degradation of primers and/or more efficient use of deoxynucleotide triphosphates and are in general more efficient and less costly to make and use.
