Patents Assigned to GINKGO BIOWORKS
  • Publication number: 20250176558
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for controlling plant pests and/or improving at least one agronomic trait of interest in a plant are provided. Such compositions and methods comprise a bacterial strain that can be used as an inoculant for plants. Therefore, methods for growing a plant susceptible to a plant pest and/or plant disease caused by a plant pest and methods for controlling plant pests and/or plant disease on a plant susceptible to the plant pest and/or plant disease are also provided.

  • Patent number: 9506167
    Abstract: Systems, methods, libraries, kits, and computer software tools are provided for designing and producing engineered cells. Such engineered cells can be used for cell state quantification, such as genome, transcriptome and/or proteome quantification. In one aspect, an engineered cell having a plurality of artificially designed oligonucleotides introduced into the genome of the cell is provided. The oligonucleotides are each located in proximity of a gene of interest encoding a protein of interest, and are different from one another. The oligonucleotides can each encode a unique peptide tag for each protein of interest, wherein each peptide tag has a unique quantitatively measurable value such as mass-to-charge ratio which can be quantified by a mass spectrometer. The engineered cell is capable of expressing a plurality of proteins of interest each fused to its corresponding unique peptide tag, wherein each peptide tag is capable of being released therefrom.

  • Publication number: 20120064622
    Abstract: The present disclosure identifies pathways, mechanisms, systems and methods to confer chemoautotrophic production of carbon-based products of interest, such as sugars, alcohols, chemicals, amino acids, polymers, fatty acids and their derivatives, hydrocarbons, isoprenoids, and intermediates thereof, in organisms such that these organisms efficiently convert inorganic carbon to organic carbon-based products of interest using inorganic energy, such as formate, and in particular the use of organisms for the commercial production of various carbon-based products of interest.
