SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Technology descriptions follow.
    Title of Abstract: Solid-Phase Purification of Synthetic DNA 
Sequences.
    Description of Technology: Scientists at FDA have developed a high-
throughput method for purifying full-length phosphorothioate and native 
DNA sequences. This method comprises a modified silica gel that enables 
capture of DNA sequences functionalized with a novel linker 
specifically designed for exclusive capture of full-length sequences. 
This

technology has been shown to generate DNA sequences of high purity 
without the need of expensive equipment and associated accessories. 
This discovery may improve the availability of pure DNA sequences for 
clinical and/or synthetic biology applications.
    Potential Commercial Applications:
     A high-throughput purification technique for producing 
small and large quantities of highly pure DNA sequences.
    Competitive Advantages:
     Cost effective.
     High-throughput capabilities.
     Time saving.
     High purity.
    Development Stage:
     In vitro data available.
    Inventors:
    Serge L. Beaucage.
