Abstract: This invention provides transgenic plant cells with recombinant DNA for expression of proteins that are useful for imparting enhanced agronomic trait(s) to transgenic crop plants. This invention also provides transgenic plants and progeny seed comprising the transgenic plant cells where the plants are selected for having an enhanced trait selected from the group of traits consisting of enhanced water use efficiency, enhanced cold tolerance, increased yield, enhanced nitrogen use efficiency, enhanced seed protein and enhanced seed oil. Also disclosed are methods for manufacturing transgenic seed and plants with enhanced traits.

Abstract: The invention provides methods and kits for designing a diet with a desired fat content for an individual in need thereof to allow the individual to, for example, maintain or reduce healthy weight, manage diabetes, for example by managing weight or accommodate a food allergy. The method comprises determining whether the individual carries APOA5 ?1131T and/or C allele or both or any allele in chromosome 11 that is in a tight linkage disequilibrium with said-alleles, wherein if the individual is a homozygote for APOA5 ?1131T allele or an allele in tight linkage disequilibrium with APOA5 ?1131T allele, the designing of a diet comprises reducing a total fat content of the diet below 30% of total calorie intake and/or reducing the amount of monounsaturated fatty acids in the diet under about 11% of total calorie intake. We surprisingly found that these methods and kits apply to both females and males and to a variety of ethnic backgrounds.

Abstract: This invention pertains to the identification of genes whose expression levels are altered by chronic exposure of a cell, tissue, or organism to one or more drugs of abuse (e.g. alcohol, stimulants, opiates, etc.). In one embodiment, this invention provides a method of monitoring the response of a cell a drug of abuse.

Abstract: The even length proportional amplification of nucleic acids can increase the amount of nucleic acids while preserving the relative abundance of the individual nucleic acid species, or portions thereof, in the original sample. An even length proportionally amplified nucleic acid preparation may be analyzed in a gene expression monitoring system, preferably involving a nucleic acid probe array.
