  • METHOD OF DIRECTING THE EVOLUTION OF AN ORGANISM
    Publication number: 20110300632
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of directing the evolution of an organism by modifying the mutation rate of an organism. The increase in genetic diversity may be used to facilitate the selection of a desired hereditary trait in an organism.
    Type: Application
    Filed: August 2, 2011
    Publication date: December 8, 2011
    Applicant: NEO-MORGAN LABORATORY INCORPORATED
    Inventors: Masanori Ogawa, Takayuki Horiuchi, Kazufumi Tabata, Shuntaro Yano, Michi Kubota, Eri Kurita, Akiko Itadani

  • Breeding method for yeast, yeast and a production method for glycoprotein or beta-glucan
    Patent number: 7803605
    Abstract: A method for breeding yeast having thermotolerance or recovering growth activity and a method for breeding yeast which produces beta-glucan efficiently as well as an yeast obtained by such methods for breeding are presented by a method for breeding yeast having thermotolerance or recovering growth activity including a step for controlling proofreading function of DNA polymerase in a loss-of-function mutant of yeast (for example, a step for including mutant pol3 gene or mutant cdc6? gene in a gene-disruptant.
    Type: Grant
