  • Nucleic acid melting analysis with saturation dyes
    Patent number: 11332779
    Abstract: Methods are provided for nucleic acid analysis wherein a target nucleic acid is mixed with a dsDNA binding dye to form a mixture. Optionally, an unlabeled probe is included in the mixture. A melting curve is generated for the target nucleic acid by measuring fluorescence from the dsDNA binding dye as the mixture is heated. Dyes for use in nucleic acid analysis and methods for making dyes are also provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 9, 2020
    Date of Patent: May 17, 2022
    Assignees: BIOFIRE DEFENSE, LLC, UNIVERSITY OF UTAH RESEARCH FOUNDATION
    Inventors: Luming Zhou, Carl T. Wittwer, Philip Seth Bernard, Virginie Dujols
