12-23-2008: Seegene, Inc announced that it has been awarded international patent protection for a break-through technology able to accelerate the detection of highly personal variations in genetic sequences. These genetic variations can identify an individual's risks for a broad range of disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease and coronary artery diseases, or genetic mutations known to cause various cancers.
The patent (WO/2008/143367) issued by the World Intellectual Property Organization covers a novel method for ApoE haplotyping using multiplex PCR. Seegene's proprietary Dual Priming Oligonucleotide (DPO(TM)) technology is being applied to haplotyping - the investigation of the genetic background and phenotype structures of complex diseases.
According to Jong-Yoon Chun, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Seegene, "This novel approach to haplotyping using the Seegene multiplex platform allows biomedical researchers to cross a barrier that to this point has frustrated many - the exploration of observed patterns of genetic sequences that help us understand how the diverse traits reveal themselves as true risks for individuals."
Seegene and Molzym announced a partnership on the automated Magicplex™ Sepsis, a new multi-pathogen screening test capable of quick and accurate identification of over 90 leading sepsis-causing pathogens.
"The Magicplex Sepsis Test will be the new gold standard for performing accurate, rapi ... more
