With a total of 2 patents, his work focuses on improving the specificity and sensitivity of DNA amplification methods.
Latest Patents
One of Victor Tarabykin's latest patents is a method for suppressing DNA fragment amplification during PCR. This invention pertains to novel materials and methods designed to suppress the amplification of specific DNA fragments during the PCR process. The method utilizes innovative adapters that are ligated to the ends of DNA fragments prior to amplification. Upon melting and annealing, these single-stranded DNA fragments, equipped with self-complementary adapters at both ends, can form suppressive 'pan-like' double-stranded structures. This unique formation effectively suppresses the amplification of the fragments during PCR. The method enhances the specificity and sensitivity of PCR amplification without requiring target DNA sequence information. Furthermore, this invention can be adapted for various highly useful PCR techniques and applications.
