Patents by Inventor Tsai-Chin WU

Tsai-Chin WU 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: 20240026442
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and compositions for tracking nucleic acid fragment origin by target-specific barcode tagging when original nucleic acid targets break into small fragments. Nucleic acid targets are captured in vitro on a solid support with clonally localized nucleic acid barcode templates. Many nucleic acid targets can be processed simultaneously in a massively parallel fashion without partition. These nucleic acid target tracking methods can be used for a variety of applications in both whole genome sequencing and targeted sequencing in order to accurately identify genomic variants, haplotype phasing and assembly, for example.

  • Publication number: 20220325275
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods to barcode nucleic acid for detection and sequencing. It applies a barcode template in a compartment with various targets, including nucleic acid fragments, nuclei and/or cells. After clonal amplification within the compartment, barcode sequence will integrate into its targets before the compartment is broken so that it will effectively barcode nucleic acid fragments originated from a nucleic acid fragment, a nucleus or a cell clonally. The barcode information can be used for tracking the origin of the fragment, nucleus or cell and be used for haplotype phasing and a variety of single cell-based applications N including whole genome sequencing, targeted sequencing, RNA sequencing and immune repertoire sequencing.
