METHOD FOR RAPID DESIGN OF VALID HIGH-QUALITY PRIMERS AND PROBES FOR MULTIPLE TARGET GENES IN QPCR EXPERIMENTS
Disclosed is a method of designing a valid primer pair satisfying a specificity condition. The method includes searching for an identifier of a base sequence from a genetic information index based on a query language associated with a gene, searching for a candidate primer from a provided candidate primer set index to satisfy the specificity condition based on the identifier of the base sequence, filtering the candidate primer based on primer-related filtering conditions, and providing information about a primer pair satisfying the query language and the filtering conditions based on a result of the filtering.

Methods and systems for ordering assays which detect SNPs or gene expression are provided. The methods use PCR and RT-PCR procedures. Collections of stock assays are assembled using pre- and post-manufacturing quality control procedures and made available to consumers via the Internet. In addition, custom assays are prepared upon order from the consumer and these assays are also prepared using pre- and post-manufacturing quality control procedures. The assays are then delivered to the consumer.
Method of generating an optimized, diverse population of variants
The disclosure relates to a method of generating a diverse set of variants to screen improved and novel properties within the variant population, a system for creating the diverse set of variants, and the variant peptides.
METHOD FOR ENCODING AND DECODING LARGE SCALE MOLECULAR VIRTUAL LIBRARIES INTO A BARCODE
Method for encoding and decoding large scale molecular virtual libraries into a barcode Ligand-based drug discovery is often characterized with extraction of scaffolds, linkers and 5 building blocks from large small molecule datasets. Variable sites on scaffolds with attachment sites on building blocks participate in a combinatorial virtual reaction to generate a set of new virtual molecules. This process is time consuming and demands more storage space and is tedious to exchange data digitally. There is practically no quick way to sample molecules without enumerating the virtual library. Therefore, the present invention discloses a method of 10 encoding a virtual library of large scale molecular data into a single barcode. The present invention further discloses a method of decoding the barcode containing large scale data molecules.
EPITOPE FOCUSING BY VARIABLE EFFECTIVE ANTIGEN SURFACE CONCENTRATION
The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for the generation of an antibody or immunogenic composition, such as a vaccine, through epitope focusing by variable effective antigen surface concentration. Generally, the composition and methods of the disclosure comprise three steps: a design process comprising one or more in silico bioinformatics steps to select and generate a library of potential antigens for use in the immunogenic composition; a formulation process, comprising in vitro testing of potential antigens, using various biochemical assays, and further combining two or more antigens to generate one or more immunogenic compositions; and an administering step, whereby the immunogenic composition is administered to a host animal, immune cell, subject or patient. Further steps may also be included, such as the isolation and production of antibodies raised by host immune response to the immunogenic composition.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING ANTIBODY LIBRARIES
The invention relates to system and method for generating an antibody library. Specifically, the invention relates to a computer-implemented system and method for generating a library of antibodies based on a predetermined epitope.
Method for constructing a novel affinity peptide library for binding immunoglobulin G based on a protein affinity model of protein A
An affinity ligand peptide library of IgG constructed on the basis of Protein A affinity model and the application of a design method thereof. According to the Molecular MechanicsPoisson-Boltzmann surface area (MM/PBSA) method and on the basis of the known human IgG-Protein A complex structure, the hot spots of Protein A that have high affinity for human IgG are obtained analytically, and a Protein A simplified affinity model is built thereof. An affinity peptide library of IgG is constructed including heptapeptide and octapeptide structural modes. On the basis of the peptide structural modes, the types of inserted amino acids that X residues represent are further identified using amino acid location method. Then, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation methods are used to screen the candidate peptides successively. Finally, the affinity peptide ligands that can effectively purify IgG are identified using affinity chromatography.
Methods, systems, and software for identifying functional bio-molecules
The present invention generally relates to methods of rapidly and efficiently searching biologically-related data space. More specifically, the invention includes methods of identifying bio-molecules with desired properties, or which are most suitable for acquiring such properties, from complex bio-molecule libraries or sets of such libraries. The invention also provides methods of modeling sequence-activity relationships. As many of the methods are computer-implemented, the invention additionally provides digital systems and software for performing these methods.
CANCER NEOEPITOPES
Contemplated compositions and methods are directed to cancer neoepitopes and uses of such neoepitopes, especially to generate synthetic antibodies against neoepitopes that may then be employed in the manufacture of a therapeutic agent. Preferred therapeutic agents will comprise a synthetic antibody against a neoepitope, and most preferably in combination with a cellular or non-cellular component for use as a diagnostic or therapeutic agent.
COMPUTER ASSISTED ANTIBODY RE-EPITOPING
The present invention is directed to a method for generating a library of antigen binding molecules for screening for binding to an epitope of interest, said method comprising: a. selecting a template antigen-binding molecule from a set of possible template antigen binding molecules wherein said selected template does not specifically bind the epitope of interest but is known to specifically bind another epitope; b. selecting at least one residue position in said template antigen-binding molecule for mutation; and c. selecting at least one variant residue to substitute at the at least one residue position selected in b; such that a library containing a plurality of variants of said template is generated.
