Gena Roy has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Acyl-ACP thioesterase genes and uses therefor
    Patent number: 9920340
    Abstract: The present invention provides novel genes encoding Class II acyl-ACP thioesterases and variants thereof that are active on C8, C10, C12, C14, C16, and C18 acyl-ACP substrates. The thioesterases can be introduced into transgenic organisms, including microorganisms and photosynthetic organisms, for producing fatty acids and fatty acid products.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 29, 2015
    Date of Patent: March 20, 2018
    Assignee: Synthetic Genomics, Inc.
    Inventors: Paul Gordon Roessler, Gena Roy
  • DGAT genes and methods of use for triglyceride production in recombinant microorganisms
    Patent number: 9328336
    Abstract: The present invention provides diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) genes, including genes encoding localization peptides. The present invention also provides recombinant cells, such as algae, transformed with DGAT genes and methods of using such recombinant cells to produce triglyceride.
    Type: Grant
