Abstract: This invention relates to putative known and unknown deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and amino acid sequences identified in one or more metabolic pathways that lead to dwarfism and stunting in plants and the use of these sequences in agriculture to create dwarf varieties of any plant species. This invention also relates to nucleic acids sequences and polypeptides that produce altered metabolism phenotypes in plants.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the invention provide human enzymes (ENZM) and polynucleotides which identify and encode ENZM. Embodiments of the invention also provide expression vectors, host cells, antibodies, agonists, and antagonists. Other embodiments provide methods for diagnosing, treating, or preventing disorders associated with aberrant expression of ENZM.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the invention provide human receptors and membrane-associated proteins (REMAP) and polynucleotides which identify and encode REMAP. Embodiments of the invention also provide expression vectors, host cells, anti-bodies, agonists, and antagonists. Other embodiments provide methods for diagnosing, treating, or preventing disorders associated with aberrant expression of REMAP.

Abstract: Methods for identifying genetic factors associated with, for example, drug response, disease, phenotype and/or behavior. Also provided are systems and apparatus for practicing the methods of the invention. The invention identifies new and informative polymorphisms (not yet identified and relevant to drug response, disease, behavior and/or phenotype) or mutations using a knockout/deletion/removal strategy. Knockout is followed by a step of capturing/trapping/enriching DNA fragments carrying informative polymorphisms or mutations. The advantages of the present invention are beneficial in, for instance, large-scale pharmacogenomics studies in patients undergoing testing in clinical trials or to find new genes associated with disease at relatively low cost.

Abstract: various embodiments of the invention provide human immune response associated proteins (TRAP) and polynucleotides which identify and encode IRAP. Embodiments of the invention also provide expression vectors, host cells, antibodies, agonists, and antagonists. Other embodiments provide methods for diagnosing, treating, or preventing disorders associated with aberrant expression of IRAP.

Abstract: The invention is directed to the application of gene sequences which cause a dwarf phenotype in plants to the fields of forestry plants, ornamental horticultural plants, medicinal plants, and Nicotiana plants which are used for purposes other than for traditional tobacco products. The invention provides cDNAs identified by the polynucleotide sequences SEQ ID NO: 1-122 that may be used to create transfected or transgenic plants exhibiting a dwarf phenotype. The invention also provides methods of creating a transfected or transgenic plant exhibiting a dwarf phenotype by expressing in the plant DNA or mRNA identified by the sequences SEQ ID NO:1-122.
