`
`The amendments above and these remarks are responsive to the restriction
`
`requirement dated July 22, 2014. Claims 1-13, 15, and 17-19 are pending in the
`
`application. In the restriction requirement, the Examiner asked applicant to elect one of
`
`the following two groups of claims for prosecution:
`
`I.
`
`ll.
`
`
`Claims 1-13 15 18 and 19, drawn to a method of analyzing genomic
`DNA; or
`
`Claim 17, drawn to a method of preparing DNA droplets.
`
`In addition, the Examiner asked applicant to choose one of the following three species:
`
`Species i
`
`— wherein the step of fragmenting includes a step of digesting the
`genomic DNA with a restriction enzyme (claims 5 and 6);
`
`Species ii — wherein the step of fragmenting includes a step of shearing the
`genomic DNA (claim 7); or
`
`Species iii — wherein the step of fragmenting includes a step of sonicating
`the genomic DNA (claim 8).
`
`In response, applicant elects mm (claims 1-13, 15, 18, and 19) and Species i,
`
`without traverse. Claims 1-6, 9-13, 15, 18, and 19 of elected Group I encompass
`
`elected Species i. Claim 17 (non-elected Group II) and claims 7 and 8 (non-elected
`
`Species ii and iii) are withdrawn from consideration. Applicant requests rejoinder of
`
`claims 7 and 8 if a generic linking claim is allowed.
`
`Applicant believes that this communication is fully responsive to the restriction
`
`requirement. However,
`
`if the Examiner has any questions, or if a telephone interview
`
`would in any way advance prosecution of the application, the Examiner is invited to
