Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for genome modification of a target sequence in the genome of a cell, using novel engineered Cas endonucleases. The methods and compositions employ a guide polynucleotide/endonuclease system to provide an effective system for modifying or altering target sequences within the genome of a cell or organism. Also provided are novel effectors and endonuclease systems and elements comprising such systems, such as guide polynucleotide/endonuclease systems comprising an endonuclease. Compositions and methods are also provided for guide polynucleotide/endonuclease systems comprising at least one endonuclease, optionally covalently or non-covalently linked to, or assembled with, at least one additional protein subunit, and for compositions and methods for direct delivery of endonucleases as ribonucleotide proteins.

Abstract: The invention provides DNA compositions that relate to transgenic insect resistant maize plants. Also provided are assays for detecting the presence of the maize DP-004114-3 event based on the DNA sequence of the recombinant construct inserted into the maize genome and the DNA sequences flanking the insertion site. Kits and conditions useful in conducting the assays are provided.

Abstract: Compositions and methods that allow for the rapid detection and accurate quantification of any polypeptides of interest are provided. Compositions include isolated polypeptides comprising at least one universal peptide tag, as well as isolated polynucleotides encoding such polypeptides. The universal peptide tags can be quantified by methods including, but not limited to, mass spectrometry, and can act as surrogates for determining the concentration of the polypeptides comprising the universal peptide tags. Methods provide for the detection and/or quantification of any polypeptides of interest that comprise at least one universal peptide tag, including methods using mass spectroscopy techniques. Methods are also provided for producing hosts, or cells or parts thereof, that comprise polypeptides comprising at least one universal peptide tag. Hosts, or cells, or parts thereof, include mammalian, bacterial, insect, yeast, viral or plant.
