MUMBAI, India, July 5 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517058137 A) filed by Biosearch Technologies, Inc., Petaluma, U.S.A., on June 17, for 'high-throughput amplification of targeted nucleic acid sequences.'

Inventor(s) include Steinmetz, Eric; Lodes, Michael; Rockweiler, Tony; Monsma, Scott; Fajardo, Diego; Walker, Jason; and Manna, Dipankar.

The application for the patent was published on July 4, under issue no. 27/2025.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The disclosure pertains to materials and methods for capturing a target nucleic acid sequence, comprising annealing a first target specific oligonucleotide primer to a target sequence; elongating the 3' end of the first target specific oligonucleotide primer to linearly amplify the target nucleic acid sequence. Then, annealing a second target specific oligonucleotide primer to the amplified target sequence; elongating the 3' end of the second target specific oligonucleotide primer to linearly amplify the complement to the target nucleic acid sequence. The resulting copies of the target nucleic acid sequence can be detected or sequenced. A plurality of target nucleic acid sequences from one or more samples can also be captured. Unique identifier sequences can be introduced to track the source of the captured target nucleic acid sequence. The invention also provides kits for performing the methods disclosed herein."

The patent application was internationally filed on Nov. 21, 2023, under International application No.PCT/US2023/080693.
