Patents by Inventor Theodorus Frank Maria ROELOFS

Theodorus Frank Maria ROELOFS 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).

  • Publication number: 20240002904
    Abstract: The current invention pertains to a method for sequencing of a target nucleic acid fragment from a nucleic acid sample, comprising the steps of cleaving the nucleic acid sample with a first and a second RNA guided or DNA guided endonuclease complex, preferably a first and a second gRNA-CAS complex, thereby generating the target nucleic acid fragment and at least one non-target nucleic acid fragment. The generated fragments are subsequently contacted with an exonuclease, wherein the exonuclease digests only the non-target nucleic acid fragments. Subsequently said target nucleic acid fragment is sequenced using nanopore selective sequencing. The invention further pertains to the use of the enriched target nucleic acid fragments for nanopore selective sequencing the target nucleic acid fragment.

  • Publication number: 20230407366
    Abstract: The invention pertains to a method for labelling a target nucleic acid fragment using a combination of a site-specific nuclease and a reverse transcriptase. The labelling results in the addition of a specific nucleotide sequence to at least one free 3?-end of the target nucleic acid fragment. The invention further relates to a method for determining the sequence of the target nucleic acid fragment as well as construct and kit for use in the method of the invention.
