US Patent:
20120258487, Oct 11, 2012
Filed:
Apr 2, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/437727
Inventors:
Chieh Chang - San Jose CA, US
Rajiv Bharadwaj - Emeryville CA, US
Anup K. Singh - Danville CA, US
Aarthi Chandrasekaran - San Jose CA, US
Nathan J. Hillson - San Francisco CA, US
Assignee:
THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA - Oakland CA
SANDIA CORPORATION - Livermore CA
International Classification:
C12P 19/34
C12N 15/63
C12M 1/00
C12N 15/82
C12Q 1/04
C12M 1/40
C12N 11/00
C12N 15/85
US Classification:
435 34, 435174, 435 915, 435 9152, 435 9141, 435 912, 435440, 435471, 435455, 435468, 4352891
Abstract:
This invention provides methods and compositions for assembling biological constructs (e.g., plasmids, transformed cells, etc.). In certain embodiments the methods involve encapsulating separate components of said biological construct each in a fluid droplet confined in a fluid channel; optionally mixing droplets from different fluid channels to for a sequenced order of droplets carrying different components of said biological construct in a channel or chamber; and optionally combining two or more droplets each containing different components of said biological construct to permit said components to react with each other in one or more reactions contributing to the assembly of said biological construct.

US Patent:
20120259607, Oct 11, 2012
Filed:
Feb 1, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/364285
Inventors:
Nathan J. Hillson - San Francisco CA, US
Assignee:
THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA - OAKLAND CA
International Classification:
G06G 7/60
US Classification:
703 11
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method of a method of designing an implementation of a DNA assembly. In an exemplary embodiment, the method includes (1) receiving a list of DNA sequence fragments to be assembled together and an order in which to assemble the DNA sequence fragments. (2) designing DNA oligonucleotides (oligos) for each of the DNA sequence fragments, and (3) creating a plan for adding flanking homology sequences to each of the DNA oligos. In an exemplary embodiment, the method includes (1) receiving a list of DNA sequence fragments to be assembled together and an order in which to assemble the DNA sequence fragments, (2) designing DNA oligonucleotides (oligos) for each of the DNA sequence fragments, and (3) creating a plan for adding optimized overhang sequences to each of the DNA oligos.
