Title: Michael W. Smith: Inventor in Genomic Mapping
Introduction
Michael W. Smith is an inventor associated with San Diego, California. His patent work addresses methods for mapping complex genomes, an important step toward organizing and sequencing genomic DNA.
Latest Patents
Smith is credited with 1 patent: “Method for Generation of Sequence Sampled Maps of Complex Genomes.” The invention describes a rapid sequence-sampled mapping method for complex genomes. It can be applied to genomic DNA, preferably mammalian chromosomes, and uses a “bottom-up” mapping strategy in a preferred embodiment. This approach enables multiple cosmid clones to be analyzed simultaneously to detect overlaps. The method is intended to support the completion of high-density, sequence-based maps and, ultimately, the sequencing of genomic DNA directly from cosmid clones.
