Modified oligonucleotides having a GGG motif sequence and a sufficient number of flanking nucleotides to modulate the telomere length of a chromosome are provided. Methods of modulating telomere length of a mammalian chromosome in vitro and in vivo are also provided, as are methods for inhibiting the division of a malignant mammalian cell and for modulating the effects of cellular aging.

Modified oligonucleotides having a conserved G4 sequence and a sufficient number of flanking nucleotides to significantly inhibit the activity of a virus or phospholipase A2 or to modulate the telomere length of a chromosome are provided. G4 quartet oligonucleotide structures are also provided. Methods of prophylaxis, diagnostics and therapeutics for viral-associated diseases and diseases associated with elevated levels of phospholipase A2 are also provided. Methods of modulating telomere length of a chromosome are also provided; modulation of telomere length is believed to play a role in the aging process of a cell and in control of malignant cell growth.

The present invention provides design and synthesis of oligomeric compounds and compositions that can be administered to reduce the activity of SARS virus in vivo or in vitro, to prevent or treat SARS virus-associated disease, to detect AARS virus, and to diagnose SARS virus-associated diseases.
摘要:
The present invention provides methods for the identification of target molecules that bind to ligands, particularly microRNA ligands and mimics thereof and/or microRNA target molecules and mimics thereof, with as little as millimolar (mM) affinity using mass spectrometry. The methods may be used to determine the mode of binding interaction between two or more of these target molecules to the ligand as well as their relative affinities. Also provided are methods for designing compounds having greater affinity to a ligand by identifying two or more target molecules using mass spectrometry methods of the invention and linking the target molecules together to form a novel compound.

摘要:
The present invention relates generally to the field of investigational bioinformatics and more particularly to secondary structure defining databases. The present invention further relates to methods for interrogating a database as a source of molecular masses of known bioagents for comparing against the molecular mass of an unknown or selected bioagent to determine either the identity of the selected bioagent, and/or to determine the origin of the selected bioagent. The identification of the bioagent is important for determining a proper course of treatment and/or irradication of the bioagent in such cases as biological warfare. Furthermore, the determination of the geographic origin of a selected bioagent will facilitate the identification of potential criminal identity.
摘要:
There is a need for nucleic acid analysis which is both specific and rapid, and in which no nucleic acid sequencing is required. The present invention addresses this need, among others by providing a method of nucleic acid amplification of overlapping sub-segments of a nucleic acid followed by molecular mass measurement of resulting amplification products by mass spectrometry, and determination of the base compositions of the amplification products.
摘要:
The method described herein relate generally the identification of bioagents on the basis of base composition signatures for bioagent-identifying amplicons. Specifically, methods of the present invention are directed to the application of pattern recognition models, particularly probability pattern classifiers, to the identification of both known and previously unrecognized bioagents. In certain embodiments, the pattern classifiers relate to probability cloud patterns, such as mutational probability patterns. In other embodiments the pattern classifiers relate to polytope pattern models.
