ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 8 -- United States Patent no. 12,729,400, issued on Sept. 8, was assigned to Agilent Technologies Inc. (Santa Clara, Calif.).

"Sequencing method for genomic rearrangement detection" was invented by Margherita Corioni (Sunnyvale, Calif.) and Douglas N Roberts (Campbell, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "The present disclosure is directed to a single-end sequencing method for improved detection of genomic rearrangements such as deletions, insertions, inversions, and translocations that are present in a polynucleotide. A first priming event allows for sequencing of a target sequence, and a second priming event on an adapter allows for identification of the sequences am...
