IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2000-08-15
Abstract: A method is disclosed for detecting the presence of a difference between two related nucleic acid sequences. In the method a complex is formed comprising both strands of each sequence. Each member of at least one pair of non-complementary strands within the complex have labels. The association of the labels as part of the complex is determined as an indication of the presence of a difference between the two related sequences. The complex generally comprises a Holliday junction. In one aspect a medium suspected of containing said two related nucleic acid sequences is treated to provide partial duplexes having non-complementary tailed portions at one end. The double stranded portions of the partial duplexes are identical except for said difference. One of the strands of one of the partial duplexes is complementary to one of the strands of the other of the partial duplexes and the other of the strands of one of the partial duplexes is complementary to the other of the strands of the other of the partial duplexes. The medium is subjected to conditions that permit the binding of the tailed portions of the partial duplexes to each other. If there is a difference in the related nucleic acid sequences, a stable complex is formed comprising a Holiday junction. If no difference exists, the complex dissociates into duplexes. A determination is made whether the stable complex is formed, the presence thereof indicating the presence of the related nucleic acid sequences. The method has application in detecting the presence of a mutation in a target sequence or in detecting the target sequence itself. Also provided is an alternative primer scheme which allows for the reduction of background signal due to mis-priming during amplification of the nucleic acid sequences in the detection method described herein.

Patent EP-1232449-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BERTRAND MICHEL J
IPC: G06F17/10
Filed: 2000-11-01
Abstract: A method of processing data representing intensity values of a measurement signal as a function of a discrete variable such as time, which signal being characterized by series of peaks mixed with a substantially regular background noise, provides efficient noise attenuation and peak detection capabilities. When applied to a two-dimensional system, the method comprises an initial step of forming an intensity histogram vector representing a frequency distribution from the intensity values, which intensity histogram vector having N frequency vector components associated with corresponding N intensity sub-ranges within a maximum range extending from a minimum intensity value to a maximum intensity value. This initial step is followed by a step of zeroing a portion of the data corresponding to the intensity values which are below an intensity threshold value derived from shape characteristics of the distribution. Then, the intensity threshold value is subtracted from each remaining portion of the data to obtain processed data representing the measurement signal in which each peak exhibits an enhanced signal-to-noise ratio. The method is also applicable to multi-dimensional measurement systems involving more than one variable, such as chromatography/mass spectrometry measurement techniques.

Abstract: A multi-mass filter for separating particles according to their mass-charge
ratio includes a chamber for receiving a multi-species plasma that
includes particles therein having different mass-charge ratios (with M 1  < M 2  <
M 3 ). Inside the chamber, which defines an axis, a radial electric field is
crossed with a magnetic field (E x B) to move the particles (M 1 , M 2  and M 3 ) on
respective trajectories into respective first, second and third regions. For one
embodiment, the filter is configured so that a z   2 B z  is held constant in the
expression for cut-off mass, M cz  = ea z   2 B z   2 /(8V ctr ). For this embodiment, only
the heavier particles M 3  are ejected into the third region (M 3  > M c3 ) and only
the intermediate particles M 2  are ejected into the second region (M 2  > M c2 ). In
another embodiment, the radial electrical field is increased outwardly from the
axis to a radial distance a 2  (r 2 ) at a first rate The electrical field is then
increased radially outward between a 2  (r 2 ) and a radial distance a 3  (r 3 ) at a
lower rate. This electric field configuration defines the first region between the
axis and a 2  (r 2 ), and the second region between a 2  (r 2 ) and a 3  (r 3 ). The third
region is located radially beyond the second region Accordingly, with M c2  =
er 2   2 B 2 /(8*(V ctr- V 2 )) and M c3  = e(r 3   2 -r 2   2 )B 2 /(8*V 2 ), particles M 1  are confined in
the first region, while both particles M 3  and M 2  are ejected from the first
region into the second region. The particles M 2  are, however, confined in the
second region and only the particles M 3  are ejected from the second region
into the third region.
