  • Compositions of fluorinated fluids and fluorinated surfactants with densities near unity
    Patent number: 12698363
    Abstract: This invention provides combinations of fluorinated oils and fluorinated surfactants that have densities of approximately unity (1.0±0.1 kg/liter), where the combination allows the surfactant to dissolve (at least) to 1-2% level (by volume) in the oil.

  • Amplification of oligonucleotides containing non-standard nucleotides
    Patent number: 10829812
    Abstract: This invention relates to processes that amplify oligonucleotide analogs that incorporate non-standard nucleobase analogs from an artificially expanded genetic information system. These pair in DNA duplexes via patterns of hydrogen bonds that differ from patterns that join the thymine-adenine and guanine-cytosine nucleobase pairs.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: November 10, 2020
    Inventors: Steven A Benner, Roberto Laos, Nicole A Leal, Zunyi Yang, Myong Jung Kim
  • Amplification of oligonucleotides containing non-standard nucleotides by polymerase chain reactions
    Patent number: 9637783
    Abstract: This invention relates to processes that amplify, in a polymerase chain reaction architecture, oligonucleotide analogs that incorporate non-standard nucleobase analogs from an artificially expanded genetic information system. These pair in DNA duplexes via patterns of hydrogen bonds that are different from patterns that join the thymine-adenine and guanine-cytosine nucleobase pairs.
    Type: Grant
