| 20100323397 | MODIFIED VIRD2 PROTEIN AND ITS USE IN IMPROVED GENE TRANSFER - There is provided a method for | 12-23-2010 |
| 20100173407 | INHIBITION OF GENE EXPRESSION - There is provided a method of inhibiting gene expression by locating a 5′-5 donor splicing site sequence in the 3′ UTR of a gene or within coding sequence containing the stop codon of a gene. Stability of homologous mRNA in trans is also adversely affected leading to a reduction in expression. A polynucleotide containing a 5′-donor splicing site sequence in either coding sequence containing the stop codon or the 3′ UTR is also provided and in one embodiment is in the form of a vector. The 5′-donor splicing site sequence can be present in multiple copies, for example as a tandem repeat. In one embodiment the 5-donor splicing site sequence has the sequence 5′-MAGGTRAGTA-3′ where M is A or C and R is A or G. | 07-08-2010 |
| 20090055963 | Systemic gene silencing in plants - A novel VIGS vector is described based on pGR106. The vector includes a nucleotide silencing sequence which is homologous or complementary to a target gene of a host cell. The vector can induce gene silencing in whole plants and microplants and is also effective in the tubers of | 02-26-2009 |
