  • Methods for determining genetic haplotypes and DNA mapping
    Patent number: 7771944
    Abstract: Improved methods of genetic haplotyping and DNA sequencing and mapping, including methods for making amplified ssDNA, methods for allele determination, and a DNA barcoding strategy based on direct imaging of individual DNA molecules and localization of multiple sequence motifs or polymorphic sites on a single DNA molecule.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 14, 2007
    Date of Patent: August 10, 2010
    Assignees: The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois, Regents of the University of California

  • Polynucleotide barcoding
    Publication number: 20060094019
    Abstract: A polynucleotide is barcoded using a method whereby an isolated, individual polynucleotide is immobilized on a solid phase and stretched, targets are labeled using target-specific hybridization probes, and an individual label of an unamplified probe at each of the labeled targets is optically detected. The order of the labels is determined to form a barcode representation of the polynucleotide wherein the targets and their relative positions are represented.
