  • Genome editing system
    Patent number: 11591620
    Abstract: A system for editing of a target sequence at a locus of a host cell is disclosed. The system has a nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleic acid segment comprising a targeting RNA sequence and an RNA segment that binds a protein. The system also has a nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleic acid segment encoding a polypeptide with endonuclease activity fused to a protein that binds the RNA segment. The system also comprises a double stranded DNA molecule comprising DNA comprising at least one nucleotide sequence that is capable of binding to the target sequence at the locus.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 18, 2018
    Date of Patent: February 28, 2023
    Assignee: CARGILL, INCORPORATED
    Inventors: Kenneth R. Finley, Briana Kozlowicz, Ana Negrete-Raymond, Gregory M. Poynter, Amit Vas

  • Xylose isomerase-modified yeast strains and methods for bioproduct production
    Patent number: 10844363
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a genetically engineered yeast (e.g., Crabtree negative) that express a heterologous xylose isomerase. In a fermentation method the engineered yeast are capable of producing a bioproduct, such as ethanol, in a fermentation medium that includes xylose. Desirable bioproduct titers can be achieved when materials such as acetate are present in the fermentation medium.
