ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 9 -- United States Patent no. 12,649,916, issued on June 9, was assigned to Oxford Nanopore Technologies PLC (Oxford, Great Britain).

"Method for selecting polynucleotides based on the size in a globular form" was invented by Daniel George Fordham (Oxford, Ga.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "The invention provides methods of selecting polynucleotides based on their size in globular form. The polynucleotides may be treated with a condensation medium. e.g. comprising polyethylene glycol. e.g. PEG8000, and salt, in order to adopt a globular form. The method may employing filtering in order to retain the larger nucleic acids and make the larger nucleic acids available for seq...
