20120073020 | EG1117 Polynucleotides And Uses Thereof - The present invention provides methods for identifying polynucleotide and polypeptide sequences which may be associated with commercially or aesthetically relevant traits in domesticated plants or animals. The methods employ comparison of homologous genes from the domesticated organism and its ancestor to identify evolutionarily significant changes and evolutionarily neutral changes. Sequences thus identified may be useful in enhancing commercially or aesthetically desirable traits in domesticated organisms or their wild ancestors. | 03-22-2012 |
20110173723 | EG82013 and EG81345 Nucleic Acids and Uses Thereof - The present invention provides methods for identifying nucleic acid and polypeptide sequences which may be associated with a commercially relevant trait in plants, specifically, so-identified nucleic acids and polypeptide sequences for yield genes EG82013 and EG81345. Sequences thus identified are useful in enhancing commercially desired traits in domesticated plants or wild ancestor plants, identifying related nucleic acid sequences, genotyping a plant, and marker assisted breeding. Sequences thus identified may also be used to generate heterologous DNA, transgenic plants, and transfected host cells. | 07-14-2011 |
20110083229 | EG1117 And EG307 Polynucleotides And Uses Thereof - The present invention provides methods for identifying polynucleotide and polypeptide sequences which may be associated with a commercially relevant trait in plants, specifically, so-identified polynucleotides and polypeptide sequences for yield-related genes EG307 and EG1117 for corn, wheat, barley, sorghum, and sugarcane. Sequences thus identified are useful in enhancing commercially desired traits in domesticated plants or wild ancestor plants, identifying related polynucleotide sequences, genotyping a plant, and marker assisted breeding. Sequences thus identified may also be used to generate heterologous DNA, transgenic plants, and transfected host cells. | 04-07-2011 |
20100159440 | METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING AGENTS THAT MODULATE p44 - The present invention provides methods for identifying evolutionarily significant polynucleotide and polypeptide sequences in human and/or non-human primates which may be associated with a physiological condition, such as enhanced resistance to HCV infection. The invention also provides methods for identifying evolutionarily significant polynucleotides with mutations that are correlated with susceptibility to diseases, such as BRCA1 exon 11. The methods employ comparison of human and non-human primate sequences using statistical methods. Sequences thus identified may be useful as host therapeutic targets and/or in screening assays. | 06-24-2010 |
20090304653 | METHODS TO IDENTIFY POLYNUCLEOTIDE AND POLYPEPTIDE SEQUENCES WHICH MAY BE ASSOCIATED WITH PHYSIOLOGICAL AND MEDICAL CONDITIONS - Disclosed are methods to identify an agent which may modulate resistance to HIV-1-mediated disease, comprising contacting at least one agent to be tested with a cell comprising human ICAM-1, and detecting the cell's resistance to HIV-1 viral replication, propagation, or function, wherein an agent is identified by its ability to increase the cell's resistance to HIV-1 viral replication, propagation, or function. Also disclosed are human mutant ICAM-1 polypeptides and methods to treat HIV-1 viral replication, propagation, or function in a human subject by ICAM-1 gene therapy relating to one or more of the following 10 mutations to human ICAM-1: L18Q, K29D, P45G, R49W, E171Q, wherein the mutant ICAM-1 is otherwise identical to human ICAM-1. | 12-10-2009 |
