Peter DeHoff 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).

  • Autonomous replication sequences and episomal DNA molecules
    Patent number: 9447422
    Abstract: The present invention provides autonomous replication sequences (ARSs) isolated from Nannochloropsis that support the replication of episomal DNA molecules (EDMs) in eukaryotic cells. The ARSs and EDMs provided herein can be used for expressing genes in organisms including algae and heterokonts.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 6, 2013
    Date of Patent: September 20, 2016
    Assignee: Synthetic Genomics, Inc.
    Inventors: Peter DeHoff, Leah Soriaga, Srividya Akella
  • Nannochloropsis kozak consensus sequence
    Patent number: 9309523
    Abstract: The present invention provides Nannochloropsis consensus Kozak sequences for use in protein expression in eukaryotic cells, such as algal cells. The invention further provides expression constructs, expression cassettes, cloning or expression vectors and host eukaryotic cells, such as algal cells, and methods for expressing proteins of interest which take advantage of the consensus Kozak sequences as described herein.
