Patents by Inventor Steve W. Lockless

Steve W. Lockless has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Statistical methods for analyzing biological sequences
    Patent number: 7587282
    Abstract: Statistical algorithms that are useful to aid in the identification of evolutionarily conserved amino acid positions within a family of proteins, and in the identification of interacting amino acid positions within a protein sequence are disclosed. The algorithms may also be useful in the analysis of other polymer sequences such as polysaccharides, lipids, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and ribonucleic acid sequences (RNA), and, more specifically, in the analysis of DNA microarray data. Algorithms useful for analyzing the structural changes of perturbations to determine the mechanisms by which positions are coupled are also disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 13, 2006
    Date of Patent: September 8, 2009
    Assignee: Board of Regents, The University of Texas System
    Inventors: Rama Ranganathan, Steve W. Lockless
