Latest Patents
Handy Yowanto holds a patent for a P450 single nucleotide polymorphism biochip analysis. This invention relates to methods and compositions for determining SNPs in P450 genes. In preferred embodiments, self-extension of interrogation probes is prevented by using novel non-self-extension probes and/or methods. This advancement improves the specificity and efficiency of P450 SNP detection in target samples, minimizing false positive results. The invention describes various methods to decrease self-extension of interrogation probes. Additionally, it provides a unique collection of P450 SNP probes on one assay, primer sequences for specific amplification of each of the seven P450 genes, and amplicon control probes to evaluate whether the intended P450 gene targets were amplified successfully. The invention also outlines a variety of array platforms for performing the assays, including CodeLink™, eSensor™, and multiplex arrays with cartridges.
