Patents by Inventor Warren Lei

Warren Lei 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).

  • Duplex probes for hybridization reactions
    Patent number: 6448013
    Abstract: Methods are provide for quantitatively determining the amount of polynucleotides in a sample. In one method, the distinct polynucleotide targets and standard polynucleotide targets are contacted with detectable probes and independently detectable single or double stranded complements to the standard targets under hybridization conditions. The hybridization pattern from the probe is compared to the hybridization pattern from the standard sequences to obtain quantitative information about the genetic profile of the labeled nucleic acid sample. Also provided are kits for the use of the methods.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 22, 2000
    Date of Patent: September 10, 2002
    Assignee: Incyte Genomics, Inc.
    Inventors: Lyle Arnold, Tod Bedilion, Erik Bieldanes, Thomas P. Theriault, Warren Lei
