  • METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR IMPROVING PLANT TRAITS
    Publication number: 20180002243
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of increasing nitrogen fixation in a non-leguminous plant. The methods can comprise exposing the plant to a plurality of bacteria. Each member of the plurality comprises one or more genetic variations introduced into one or more genes or non-coding polynucleotides of the bacteria's nitrogen fixation or assimilation genetic regulatory network, such that the bacteria are capable of fixing atmospheric nitrogen in the presence of exogenous nitrogen. The bacteria are not intergeneric microorganisms. Additionally, the bacteria, in planta, produce 1% or more of the fixed nitrogen in the plant.

  • METHODS FOR MULTIPART, MODULAR AND SCARLESS ASSEMBLY OF DNA MOLECULES
    Publication number: 20140038240
    Abstract: The present invention consists of methods for joining DNA molecules (parts) together to form larger DNA molecules (assemblies) of specified sequence and organization. The invention exhibits three necessary characteristics. Firstly, the invention enables 2 or more parts to be joined in a single reaction. Secondly, the seam between joined parts is scarless, producing no residual sequence dependencies like restriction enzyme recognition sites. Thirdly, parts are modular and can easily be reused in novel assemblies without modification. Prior technologies have exhibited no more than two of the three necessary characteristics, limiting their utility in synthesizing and editing DNA molecules of arbitrary sequence.
