Methods and compositions for flow cytometric determination of DNA sequences

A method for the analysis of DNA sequences and PCR products comprises the steps of constructing an oligonucleotide-labeled beadset, and labeled complementary probe, and exposing the beadset and probe to a DNA fragment or PCR product under hybridizing conditions and analyzing the combined sample / beadset by flow cytometry. Flow cytometric measurements are used to classify beads within an exposed beadset to determine the presence of identical or nonidentical sequences within the test sample. The inventive technology enables the rapid analysis of DNA sequences and detection of point mutations, deletions and / or inversions while also reducing the cost and time for performing genetic assays.

Diffractive pigment flakes are selectively aligned to form an image. In one embodiment, flakes having a magnetic layer are shaped to facilitate alignment in a magnetic field. In another embodiment, the flakes include a magnetically discontinuous layer. In a particular embodiment, deposition of nickel on a diffraction grating pattern produces magnetic needles along the grating pattern that allow magnetic alignment of the resulting diffractive pigment flakes. Color scans of test samples of magnetically aligned flakes show high differentiation between illumination parallel and perpendicular to the direction of alignment of the magnetic diffractive pigment flakes.

Digital profiling of polynucleotide populations

The invention provides methods and compositions for hybridization-based assays that employ oligonucleotide tags, wherein probes specific for the same target polynucleotide are labeled with a plurality of different oligonucleotide tags. When probes are used in conjunction with a microarray, or like, readout platform, containing hybridization sites of tag complements, assay of a target polynucleotide results in a signal being generated from any of a plurality hybridization sites with predetermined addresses and the number of such sites generating a signal is proportional to the relative amount of the target polynucleotide in a population, test sample, or reaction volume, as the case may be. The invention provides methods and compositions for measuring amounts of selected target polynucleotides in a sample and for providing a digital readout of such amounts. Statistical confidence in measurements made by the present invention may be increased as much as desired by increasing the size of the sample of successfully hybridized and selected probes from which signals are generated.

Implants for replacing hyaline cartilage, with hydrogel reinforced by three-dimensional fiber arrays

ActiveUS20070224238A1Little and delayBone implantTissue regenerationTest sampleFiber array
Implants with hydrogel layers reinforced by three-dimensional fiber arrays can replace hyaline cartilage. Such implants should replace an entire cartilage segment, rather than creating a crevice around a plug, so these implants must be thin and flat, they must cover large areas, the tips of any tufts or stitches must not reach the hydrogel surface, and they must be flexible, for arthroscopic insertion. The use of computerized stitching machines to create such arrays enables a redesigned and modified test sample to be made with no delays, and no overhead or startup costs. This provides researchers with improved tools for making and testing implants that will need to go through extensive in vitro, animal, and human testing before they can be approved for sale and use. Fiber-reinforced hydrogels also can be secured to strong shape-memory rims, for securing anchoring to bones.
