Htp Genomic Engineering Platform For Improving Fungal Strains

View page
US Patent:
20210284993, Sep 16, 2021
Filed:
Mar 19, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/207376
Inventors:
- EMERYVILLE CA, US
Jennifer Fredlund - Emeryville CA, US
Hassan Abdulla - Oakland CA, US
Paolo Boccazzi - Emeryville CA, US
Sean Poust - El Cerrito CA, US
Sara da Luz Areosa Cleto - Emeryville CA, US
Brian Chaikind - Oakland CA, US
Dylan Vaughan - Oakland CA, US
Kenneth S. Bruno - Walnut Creek CA, US
Patrick Westfall - Walnut Creek CA, US
Edyta Szewczyk - Walnut Creek CA, US
International Classification:
C12N 15/10
C12N 1/14
C12N 9/22
C12N 15/11
C12N 15/80
Abstract:
A HTP genomic engineering platform for improving filamentous fungal cells that is computationally driven and integrates molecular biology, automation, and advanced machine learning protocols is provided. This integrative platform utilizes a suite of HTP molecular tool sets to create HTP genetic design libraries, which are derived from, inter alia, scientific insight and iterative pattern recognition. Methods for isolating clonal populations derived from individual fungal spores are also provided.

Programmable Cas9-Recombinase Fusion Proteins And Uses Thereof

View page
US Patent:
20190367891, Dec 5, 2019
Filed:
Aug 9, 2017
Appl. No.:
16/324476
Inventors:
- Cambridge MA, US
Brian Chaikind - Oakland CA, US
Jeffrey L. Bessen - Somerville MA, US
Assignee:
President and Fellows of Harvard College - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
C12N 9/12
C12N 9/22
C12N 15/113
C07K 4/00
Abstract:
Some aspects of this disclosure provide a fusion protein comprising a guide nucleotide sequence-programmable DNA binding protein domain (e.g., a nuclease-inactive variant of Cas9 such as dCas9), an optional linker, and a recombinase catalytic domain (e.g., a tyrosine recombinase catalytic domain or a serine recombinase catalytic domain such as a Gin recombinase catalytic domain). This fusion protein can recombine DNA sites containing a minimal recombinase core site flanked by guide RNA-specified sequences. The instant disclosure represents a step toward programmable, scarless genome editing in unmodified cells that is independent of endogenous cellular machinery or cell state.

Compositions For Targeted Dna Methylation And Their Use

View page
US Patent:
20170058268, Mar 2, 2017
Filed:
Mar 11, 2015
Appl. No.:
15/124917
Inventors:
- Baltimore MD, US
Brian Chaikind - Baltimore MD, US
International Classification:
C12N 9/10
C12N 15/62
C12Q 1/68
C12Q 1/48
Abstract:
The present invention provides an in vitro directed evolution selection system to create modified methyltransferases which improve methyltransferase specificity and use it to optimize and provide fusion proteins comprising a zinc finger methyltransferase derived from M.SssI. The resulting fusion proteins show increased target methylation specificity and greatly decreased non-target methylation compared to wild-type enzyme activity. Methods of use of such fusion proteins in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are also provided.
