Patents by Inventor Philip Damiani

Philip Damiani 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).

  • Method for generating cloned animals using chromosome shuffling
    Publication number: 20040139489
    Abstract: The present invention concerns the use of chromosomal replacement techniques in the context of producing cloned and transgenic animals, in order to correct chromosome abnormalities or alter autosomal genotypes, and provide for novel breeding pairs by replacing the sex chromosome in animals to be cloned. Replacement of a sex chromosome, or an X or Y chromosome, will result in animals that are autosomally isogenic and sexually non-isogenic (AISN), with “autosomally isogenic” meaning that the paired sets of autosomes (non-sex chromosomes) in each animal are isogenic or identical. Also included in the invention are animals that are both “autosomally” and “allelically” isogenic whereby each particular pair of chromosomes is internally isogenic or identical within a single animal as well as between animals.

  • Method of cloning porcine animals
    Patent number: 6700037
    Abstract: The present invention relates to materials and methods for cloning porcine animals. The invention relates in part to totipotent cells useful for cloning porcine animals, porcine embryos produced from such cells by employing nuclear transfer techniques, and porcine animals that arise from such cells and embryos.

  • Cloning endangered and extinct species
    Publication number: 20040031069
    Abstract: Approximately 100 species become extinct a day. Despite increasing interest in using cloning to rescue endangered species, successful interspecies nuclear transfer has not been previously described, and only a few reports of in vitro embryo formation exist. Here it is shown that interspecies nuclear transfer can be used to clone an endangered species with normal karyo- and phenotypic development through implantation and the late stages of fetal growth, resulting in a newborn animal.
