Market Assessment: Fluorogenic RNA Mango Aptamers for RNA Imaging & RNA-protein Complex Purification

SFU的技术和许可办公室(TLO)帮助SFU的创新者评估新技术和研究创新的专利性和市场潜力。目标是为了我们的社区、社会和经济的利益而转让这些知识。TLO的服务包括机密发明披露、技术评估、专利性审查、市场评估、知识产权保护和商业化援助。SFU的Unrau Group使用体外选择开发可用于研究RNA生物学的强大RNA工具。最近，他们开发了一种名为RNA芒果的强大的RNA成像和下拉技术，涉及荧光染料与称为适配子的小RNA序列的高亲和力结合。Unrau实验室与一些国际实验室合作，对这些小而多功能的RNA标签进行了深入研究。这些RNA适配子良好的光学、生化和生物学特性使这项专利技术有了许多治疗应用。因此，SFU的技术和许可办公室联系了Adventus Research+Consulting，要求对这项技术进行市场研究，题为“用于RNA成像和RNA-蛋白质复合体纯化的荧光RNA芒果适配子”。

SFU's Technology and Licensing Office (TLO) helps SFU innovators assess the patentability and market potential of new technologies and research innovations. The goal is to transfer this knowledge for the benefit of our communities, society and the economy. The TLO's services include confidential invention disclosures, technology assessments, patentability reviews, market assessments, intellectual property protection and commercialization assistance.The Unrau Group at SFU uses in vitro selection to develop powerful RNA tools that can be used to study RNA biology. Recently they have developed a powerful RNA imaging and pulldown technology called RNA Mango that involves the high affinity binding of fluorogenic dyes to small RNA sequences called aptamers. These small and versatile RNA tags have been characterized in depth by the Unrau laboratory in collaboration with a number of international laboratories. The favourable optical, biochemical, and biological properties of these RNA aptamers enables many therapeutic applications for this patented technology. As a result, SFU's Technology and Licensing Office has contacted Adventus Research + Consulting to request a market study of this technology entitled "Fluorogenic RNA Mango Aptamers for RNA Imaging & RNA-protein Complex Purification".
