  • Automatic eukaryotic artificial chromosome vector
    Publication number: 20050019924
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to novel recombinant nucleic acids for introducing yeast chromosomal elements into the genomes of bacteria. The invention provides methods to convert the modified bacterial genomes into artificial yeast chromosomes by fusing the bacteria with yeast that linearize the modified bacterial genomes, to produce artificial chromosomes.
    Type: Application
    Filed: August 6, 2003
    Publication date: January 27, 2005
    Inventors: Ronald Hitzeman, George Chisholm
  • Methods for the production of gelatin and full-length triple helical collagen in recombinant cells
    Patent number: 6428978
    Abstract: Methods are disclosed for simplified recombinant production of fibrillar collagens. DNAs encoding fibrillar collagen monomers lacking the N propeptide, the C propeptide, or both propeptides are introduced into recombinant host cells and expressed. Trimeric collagen is recovered from the recombinant host cells.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 9, 1999
    Date of Patent: August 6, 2002
