Nina Alperovich 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).

  • Methods of genome installation in a recipient host cell
    Patent number: 9481880
    Abstract: The presently disclosed invention relates to methods of installing a genome isolated from one species (the donor) into suitably prepared cells of a second species (the recipient). Introduction of the donor genetic material into the recipient host cell effectively converts the recipient host cell into a new cell that, as a result of the operation of the donated genetic material, is functionally classified as belonging to the genus and species of the donor genetic material.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 1, 2008
    Date of Patent: November 1, 2016
    Assignee: Synthetic Genomics, Inc.
    Inventors: John I. Glass, Nina Alperovich, Clyde A. Hutchison, III, Carole Lartigue, Charles E. Merryman, Sanjay Vashee, J. Craig Venter

  • Minimal bacterial genome
    Publication number: 20070122826
    Abstract: The present invention relates, e.g., to a minimal set of protein-coding genes which provides the information required for replication of a free-living organism in a rich bacterial culture medium, wherein (1) the gene set does not comprise the 101 genes listed in Table 2; and/or wherein (2) the gene set comprises the 381 protein-coding genes listed in Table 3 and, optionally, one of more of: a set of three genes encoding ABC transporters for phosphate import (genes MG410, MG411 and MG412; or genes MG289, MG290 and MG291); the lipoprotein-encoding gene MG185 or MG260; and/or the glycerophosphoryl diester phosphodiesterase gene MG293 or MG385.
