Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and compositions for targeted deletion of double-stranded DNA. The compositions include fusion proteins comprising a cleavage domain (or cleavage half-domain) and an engineered zinc finger domain, and polynucleotides encoding same. Methods for targeted deletion include introduction of such fusion proteins, or polynucleotides encoding same, into a cell such that two targeted cleavage events occur. Subsequent cellular repair mechanisms result in deletion of sequences between the two cleavage sites.

Abstract: This invention relates to using customize oligonucleotide microchips as biosensors for the detection and identification of nucleic acids specific for different genes, organisms and/or individuals in the environment, in food and in biological samples. The microchips are designed to convert multiple bits of genetic information into simpler patterns of signals that are interpreted as a unit. Because of an improved method of hybridizing oligonucleotides from samples to microchips, microchips are reusable to transportable. For field study, portable laser or bar code scanners are suitable.

Abstract: Methods for the identification of a drug target, wherein the drug target is a component of a signal transduction pathway, are provided. The methods are based, in part, on selection of a gene of therapeutic interest and determination of regulatory DNA sequences which regulate expression of the gene in a cell of interest, followed by reconstruction of signal transduction pathways which act on molecules which bind to the regulatory sequence. Also provided are methods for assessing potential pharmacological effects and/or side effects of an agent, based on the effect of the agent on the distribution and properties of accessible regions in cellular chromatin.
