CPC Class C12Q

The present invention relates to a Solanum lycopersicum seed designated 72-760 RZ. The present invention also relates to a Solanum lycopersicum plant produced by growing the 72-760 RZ seed. The invention further relates to methods for producing the tomato cultivar, represented by tomato variety 72-760 RZ.

The present invention relates to a Solanum lycopersicum seed designated 72-187 RZ. The present invention also relates to a Solanum lycopersicum plant produced by growing the 72-187 RZ seed. The invention further relates to methods for producing the tomato cultivar, represented by tomato variety 72-187 RZ.

Methods and apparatus relating to very large scale FET arrays for analyte measurements. ChemFET (e.g., ISFET) arrays may be fabricated using conventional CMOS processing techniques based on improved FET pixel and array designs that increase measurement sensitivity and accuracy, and at the same time facilitate significantly small pixel sizes and dense arrays. Improved array control techniques provide for rapid data acquisition from large and dense arrays. Such arrays may be employed to detect a presence and/or concentration changes of various analyte types in a wide variety of chemical and/or biological processes. In one example, chemFET arrays facilitate DNA sequencing techniques based on monitoring changes in hydrogen ion concentration (pH), changes in other analyte concentration, and/or binding events associated with chemical processes relating to DNA synthesis.

Embodiments of the invention provide a method of detecting one or more strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae. The method may include forming a plurality of mixtures for nucleic amplification. The method can include amplification of specific sequences within the K. pneumonia genome that can provide definitive information to distinguish between one or more types or strains of K. pneumonia.

A method is provided for determining the zygosity of an Rf4 gene in a corn plant. A method may include performing a first PCR assay, a second PCR assay, quantifying probes used in the first and second PCR assays, and comparing the quantified probes to determine zygosity.
