Abstract:
The invention provides methods and compositions for inhibiting proliferation of a modified host cell outside of a designated process condition. Compositions and methods for providing a host cell having reduced viability when exposed to natural conditions external to a controlled environment are disclosed.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods for sequencing a polynucleotide immobilized on an array having a plurality of specific regions each having a defined diameter size, including synthesizing a concatemer of a polynucleotide by rolling circle amplification, wherein the concatemer has a cross-sectional diameter greater than the diameter of a specific region, immobilizing the concatemer to the specific region to make an immobilized concatemer, and sequencing the immobilized concatemer.
Abstract:
The invention provides methods and compositions relating to cells having altered functions, and the nucleic acids that impart those functions. Altered cellular function arises from in vivo directed recombination of genetic elements to yield a recombined nucleic acid. These methods and compositions may utilize altered host cells having altered recombination enzyme profiles and/or altered recombination sites. The invention involves in some aspects methods for assembling nucleic acid molecules, such as genomic DNA. Aspects of the invention also provide kits, compositions, devices, and systems for generating novel recombined nucleic acids and cells having altered cell function.
Abstract:
