Filed:
Aug 15, 2022
Appl. No.:
17/887727
Inventors:
- Carlsbad CA, US
Aren Ewing - Carlsbad CA, US
Na Li - Foster City CA, US
Zunping Luo - Redwood City CA, US
Amir Marcovitz - Menlo Park CA, US
Assignee:
Life Technologies Corporation - Carlsbad CA
International Classification:
C12Q 1/6886
Abstract:
Provided are methods and compositions for preparing a library of target nucleic acid sequences that are useful for assessing gene mutations for oncology biomarker profiling of samples. In particular, a target-specific primer panel is provided that allows for selective amplification of oncology biomarker target sequences in a sample. In one aspect, the invention relates to target-specific primers useful for selective amplification of one or more target sequences associated with oncology biomarkers from two or more sample types. In some aspects, amplified target sequences obtained using the disclosed methods, and compositions can be used in various processes including nucleic acid sequencing and used to detect the presence of genetic variants of one or more targeted sequences associated with oncology.

US Patent:
20200392470, Dec 17, 2020
Filed:
Aug 20, 2020
Appl. No.:
16/998268
Inventors:
- South San Francisco CA, US
Jason Casolari - Palo Alto CA, US
Xinhua Zhao - Dublin CA, US
Aren Ewing - South San Francisco CA, US
Aravind Somanchi - Redwood City CA, US
Scott Franklin - La Jolla CA, US
David Davis - South San Francisco CA, US
International Classification:
C12N 9/10
C12N 15/82
C12P 7/64
Abstract:
Disclosed are microalgal cells having an ablated or downregulated fatty acyl-ACP thioesterase (FATA) gene, wherein the cell is modified to express a heterologous lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase (LPAAT) comprising an amino acid sequence that has at least 80% identity to an acyltransferase encoded by SEQ ID NO: 90, 89, 92, 93 or 95 and wherein the modified microalgal cell produces an oil with an elevated ratio of saturated-unsaturated-saturated triglycerides over trisaturated triglycerides as compared to a corresponding unmodified cell. Also disclosed are microalgal oils comprising at least 60% stearate-oleate-stearate (SOS) triglycerides, less than 5% trisaturates and wherein the fatty acid profile of the oil comprises at least 50% C18:0. Related methods of producing an oil are also disclosed.

Novel Ketoacyl Acp Synthase Genes And Uses Thereof

US Patent:
20190345463, Nov 14, 2019
Filed:
Apr 18, 2019
Appl. No.:
16/388817
Inventors:
- South San Francisco CA, US
George Rudenko - Mountain View CA, US
Aravind Somanchi - Redwood City CA, US
Jason Casolari - Palo Alto CA, US
Scott Franklin - Woodside CA, US
Aren Ewing - Brisbane CA, US
International Classification:
C12N 9/10
C12P 7/64
C12P 33/00
C12N 15/82
Abstract:
The present invention relates to beta-ketoacyl ACP synthase genes of the KASI/KASIV type and proteins encoded by these genes. The genes can be included in nucleic acid constructs, vectors or host cells. Expression of the gene products can alter the fatty acid profile of host cells. The KAS genes can be combined with a FATA or FATB thioesterase gene to create a cell that produces an increased amount of C8-C16 fatty acids. Suitable host cells include plastidic cells of plants or microalgae. Oleaginous microalga host cells with the new genes are disclosed.
