  • METHOD AND SYSTEMS FOR REMOVING MERCURY FROM COMBUSTION EXHAUST GAS
    Publication number: 20080069749
    Abstract: A method for facilitating reducing mercury in a fluid stream using a catalytic bed assembly including at least a first catalytic bed. The method includes receiving a flow of fluid including mercury at the catalytic bed assembly; injecting a flow of a compound including ammonia and a first mercury oxidizer upstream of the first catalytic bed; and oxidizing the mercury using the mercury oxidizer and the catalytic bed assembly.

  • Identifying drugs for and diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia using gene expression profiles
    Patent number: 7321830
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a computer system comprising a database for elucidating changes in gene expression in prostate tissue isolated from patients exhibiting different clinical states of prostate hyperplasia as compared to normal prostate tissue, as well as the identification of individual genes that are differentially expressed in diseased prostate tissue.

  • Identifying drugs for and diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia using gene expression profiles
    Publication number: 20030134280
    Abstract: The present invention is based on the elucidation of the global changes in gene expression in prostate tissue isolated from patients exhibiting different clinical states of prostate hyperplasia as compared to normal prostate tissue as well as the identification of individual genes that are differentially expressed in diseased prostate tissue.

  • Multiplex selection technique for identifying protein-binding sites and DNA-binding proteins
    Patent number: 6066452
    Abstract: Methods for simultaneously selecting binding site sequences for multiple DNA-binding proteins are provided. A source of DNA-binding proteins is mixed with oligonucleotide duplexes containing a randomized internal sequence. Bound oligonucleotides are isolated, amplified and analyzed, such as by DNA sequence analysis. The oligonucleotide duplexes are also used to identify and isolate DNA-binding proteins.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 6, 1997
    Date of Patent: May 23, 2000
    Assignee: Yale University
    Inventors: Sherman M. Weissman, Girish N. Nallur, Prakash Kulkarni
  • Multiple selection process for binding sites of DNA-binding proteins
    Patent number: 5861246
    Abstract: Methods are provided for isolating binding sites of DNA-binding proteins. An extract, such as a nuclear extract, containing DNA-binding proteins is mixed with oligonucleotide duplexes comprising a random sequence. Bound duplexes are isolated and amplified. Methods are also provided for identifying DNA-binding proteins using isolated binding sites.
