Abstract: Subscription-based systems and methods where a provider provides one or more customers, identified as subscribers or non-subscribers, with research products and services (e.g., for industries involved in genomic and proteomic research). Initially, the provider prepares collections of clones and provides customers with access to clone collections. Individual clones in a clone collection may comprise an ORF that may be flanked by recombination sites. Further, an ORF may contain a suppressible stop codon that may be suppressed to produce a fusion protein comprising the ORF and a tag sequence. Provider may provide additional related services and/or products. The products and services offered to the customers will vary depending on their designation as either subscribers or non-subscribers.

Abstract: Novel Bacillus thuringiensis genes encoding toxins which are active against lepidopteran insects have been cloned from novel lepidopteran-active B. thuringiensis microbes. The DNA encoding the B. thuringiensis toxins can be used to transform various prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbes to express the B. thuringiensis toxins. These recombinant microbes can be used to control lepidopteran insects in various environments.
