20150191720 | HIGH THROUGHPUT DISCOVERY OF NEW GENES FROM COMPLEX MIXTURES OF ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBES - Compositions and methods for isolating new variants of known gene sequences are provided. The methods find use in identifying variants, particularly homologs, in complex mixtures. Compositions comprise hybridization baits that hybridize to gene families of interest, particularly agricultural interest, in order to selectively enrich the polynucleotides of interest from complex mixtures. Bait sequences may be specific for a number of genes from distinct gene families of interest and may be designed to cover each gene of interest by at least 2-fold. Thus methods disclosed herein are drawn to an oligonucleotide hybridization gene capture approach for identification of new genes of interest from environmental samples. This approach bypasses the need for labor-intensive microbial strain isolation, permits simultaneous discovery of genes from multiple gene families of interest, and increases the potential to discover genes from low-abundance and unculturable organisms present in complex mixtures of environmental microbes. | 07-09-2015 |

20100205669 | O-TOUCH AND 1-TOUCH TECHNIQUES FOR IMPROVING THE AVAILABILITY OF COMPUTER PROGRAMS UNDER PROTECTION WITHOUT COMPROMISING SECURITY - Protected software, such as an application and/or DLL, is monitored by protective software to guard against attacks, while distinguishing spurious, benign events from attacks. In a 1-touch approach, the protected software is monitored in a testing environment to detect spurious, benign events caused by, e.g., incompatibility or interoperability problems. The spurious events can be remediated in different ways, such as by applying a relaxed security policy. In a production mode, or 0-touch mode, when the protected software is subject to attacks, the corresponding remediation can be applied when the spurious events are again detected. Security events which occur in production mode can also be treated as benign when they occur within a specified time window. The applications and/or DLLs can further be classified according to whether they are known to have bad properties, known to be well-behaved, or unknown. Appropriate treatment is provided based on the classification. | 08-12-2010 |
20110185433 | CONSTRAINT INJECTION SYSTEM FOR IMMUNIZING SOFTWARE PROGRAMS AGAINST VULNERABILITIES AND ATTACKS - A constraint is inserted into a program to address a vulnerability of the program to attacks. The constraint includes a segment of code that determines when the program has been asked to execute a “corner case” which does not occur in normal operations. The constraint code can access a library of detector and remediator functions to detect various attacks and remediate against them. Optionally, the detector can be employed without the remediator for analysis. The context of the program can be saved and restored if necessary to continue operating after remediation is performed. The constraints can include descriptors, along with machine instructions or byte code, which indicate how the constraints are to be used. | 07-28-2011 |
