  • Patent number: 11453876
    Abstract: Provided are constructs and methods useful for the screening and identification of polynucleotide sequences of interest, in particular promoters, RNA stability modifying sequences and transcriptional modifying sequences.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 23, 2020
    Date of Patent: September 27, 2022

    Inventors: Paul A. Feldstein, James E. Lincoln
  • Patent number: 11209383
    Abstract: A biosensor platform apparatus and method are provided that can detect, purify and identify nucleic acid (DNA and RNA) biomarkers in complex biological fluids. The methods use a two-stage molecular based approach. The first stage screens for specific nucleic acid-based biomarkers in complex biological fluids by electrochemical detection of DNA:RNA hybridization and facilitates the removal of remaining complex media constituents. The first stage utilizes probes within a tunable nanoporous electrode. The second stage identifies the purified specific hybrids by single-molecule conductance measurements via break junction scanning. Identification can be assisted with a library of conductance measurements. The methods can provide strain level information that can be used for identifying anti-microbial resistance in detected pathogens. Collection of RNA targets allows for biomarker detection and identification without the need for amplification and can provide information about the viability of the sample organism.

  • Patent number: 6210931
    Abstract: Circular RNAs may be synthesized by inserting DNA fragments into a plasmid containing sequences having the capability of spontaneous cleavage and self-circularization. Insertion of the DNA fragments allows RNAs of predetermined size to be constructed. In addition, a two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis system having a second dimension more highly cross-linked than the first dimension permits the separation and analysis as well as the precise sizing of both linear and circular RNAs produced by the synthetic method.
