  • Compositions and Methods for Biofuel Crops
    Publication number: 20150218571
    Abstract: Using the natural variation of sweet and grain sorghum to uncover genes that are conserved in rice, sorghum, and sugarcane, but differently expressed in sweet versus grain sorghum by using a microarray platform and the syntenous alignment of rice and sorghum genomic regions containing these genes. Indeed, enzymes involved in carbohydrate accumulation and those that reduce lignocellulose can be identified. Interestingly, C4 photosynthesis is enhanced as well. Furthermore, genetic analysis has shown that a specific microRNA is linked to flowering time and high sugar content in stems.

  • Analyzing blood type with identification of patient by genotyping
    Patent number: 7635565
    Abstract: This invention provides compositions and methods for genetic testing of an organism and for correlating the results of the genetic testing with a unique marker that unambiguously identifies the organism. The markers may be internal markers, such as for example single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), short tandem repeats (STRs), or other sites within a genomic locus. Alternatively, the markers may be external, such that they are separately added to the genetic sample before testing.
