Abstract:
The disclosure generally relates to compositions and methods for the production of nucleic acid molecules. In some aspects, the invention allows for the microscale generation of nucleic acid molecules, optionally followed by assembly of these nucleic acid molecules into larger molecules. In some aspects, the invention allows for efficient production of nucleic acid molecules (e.g., large nucleic acid molecules such as genomes).
Abstract:
The invention relates to polymer-interaction molecule (e.g., antibodies) conjugates and uses of such conjugates for delivery of interaction molecules to cells. The invention also relates uses polymer-interaction molecule (e.g., antibodies) conjugates for eliciting cellular responses (e.g., induction of cell proliferation).
Abstract:
This invention relates to polymer particles for solid phase oligonucleotide synthesis. The oligonucleotide may be linked to the particle via a linker having an amide- oligoethyleneglycol-amine structure. The particles may be considered to act as a solid support during the oligonucleotide synthesis. Also disclosed are processes for preparing such polymer particles, compositions and systems comprising such particles, and uses thereof.
Abstract:
This invention relates to monodisperse cross-linked hydrogel polymer particles comprising a polymer formed from (a) a hydrophilic vinylic monomer; and (b) a crosslinker comprising at least two vinyl groups. The invention also relates to monodisperse seed particles with a Z-average diameter of from 100 nm to 1500 nm that comprise a plurality of non- crosslinked oligomers of poly Ν,Ν-dimethylacrylamide. Also provided are methods of forming the monodisperse cross-linked hydrogel polymer particles and monodisperse seed particles.

Abstract:
A polymer substrate, such as a polymer coating or a polymer hydrogel network, includes carboxyl moieties that can be used as conjugation sites to which receptor or analyte molecules can be attached. In an example, the polymer substrate includes a polyacrylamide polymer network having alkanoic acid moieties or derivatives thereof, which can react with carboxyl activating compounds to provide an activated alkanoate moieties on the polyacrylamide network. Amine-terminated nucleic acids can react with the activated alkanoate moieties to capture the nucleic acid to the polymer network through an alkylamide moiety.
Abstract:
A polymer substrate, such as a polymer particle, is formed from a carboxyl functional monomer. In an example, the carboxyl functional monomer has a protection group in place of the OH of the carboxyl group. Once the monomer is polymerized, such a protection group can be removed, providing a polymer network with carboxyl functional sites. Such sites can be used to attach other functionality to the polymer substrate.
