Abstract:
The present disclosure provides methods for detecting and identifying plant events that contain precision targeted genomic loci, and plants and plant cells comprising such targeted genomic loci. The method can be deployed as a high throughput process utilized for screening the intactness or disruption of a targeted genomic loci and optionally for detecting a donor DNA polynucleotide insertion at the targeted genomic loci. The methods are readily applicable for the identification of plant events produced via a targeting method which results from the use of a site specific nuclease.
Abstract:
As disclosed herein, optimal native genomic loci of soybean plants have been identified that represent best sites for targeted insertion of exogenous sequences.
Abstract:
This invention is related to systems and methods for nucleic acid/protein extraction/isolation from biological samples. In particular, automated barrier-based systems for samples from plant tissues/cells are disclosed. The automated systems and methods disclosed provide reliability and high throughput specifically suitable for nucleic acid/protein extraction/isolation from plant tissues/cells. In some embodiments, the automated systems disclosed can further enhance high throughput capacity for nucleic acid/protein extraction/isolation directly from plant tissue samples.

Abstract:
A method of analyzing, in chromosomal DNA having a transgene incorporated therein, a DNA flanking region derived from the chromosome which is adjacent to the transgene. Wherein, the DNA flanking region is characterized by isolation and digestion of genomic DNA with a restriction enzyme, ligation of a double stranded adapter to the isolated and digested genomic DNA, a primer extension reaction of the adapter ligated genomic DNA, and the isolation of the primer extension reaction product via a streptavidin-biotin interaction. The DNA flanking region is further characterized via subsequent PCR amplification reactions and DNA sequencing.
Abstract:
As disclosed herein, optimal native genomic loci have been identified in monocot plants, such as maize plants, that represent best sites for targeted insertion of exogenous sequences.
Abstract:
The present invention is based on the use of the H3K9me2 methylation levels in plant genomes to predict transgene silencing, transgene stability, and/or transgene expression level. Provided are methods and/or systems for generating whole-genome H3K9me2 maps and its use with an assigned threshold value for predicting gene silencing. The methods and/or systems provided herein can be used in high-throughput setting for screening large number of transformed event in a relatively short period of time as compared to existing technologies.
