  • Patent number: 10738289
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method to cleave target nucleic acid sequence by the catalytic domain of a GIY-YIG homing endonucleases I-TevI. More precisely, the invention relates to the deciphering of new preferential I-TevI cleavage sites for efficient and specific cleavage activity. The invention concerns a method for the generation of TevI specific chimeric endonucleases to target nucleic acid sequence including such cleavage sites and methods of using same for gene editing.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: August 11, 2020
    Assignee: CELLECTIS
    Inventors: George Silva, Marine Beurdeley
  • Patent number: 10472396
    Abstract: The present invention concerns new modular base-per-base specific nucleic acid binding domains (MBBBD) derived from newly identified proteins from the bacterial endosymbiont Burkholderia Rhizoxinica and their use for engineering nucleic acid processing enzymes, such as specific endonucleases or transcription activators.

  • Publication number: 20040038603
    Abstract: A float device includes a peripheral cover having an opening for receiving users, and having a peripheral chamber for receiving a peripheral air bladder. The peripheral air bladder may be received within the peripheral cover and thus may be protected by the peripheral cover, such that the air bladder will not be easily damaged by the other objects. The cover includes one or more handles for carrying purposes, and one or more clips or bands for coupling to the other float devices. One or more pouches or cup holders may be disposed on the cover for receiving various objects.
