BiOS Licensed Patents Inventory
The technology covered by these patent documents is available for non-exclusive use by any entity that agrees to and conforms to the terms of a BiOS License.
A BiOS license allows both research and commercial use, and potential sharing of improvements among all licensees.
The BiOS license further allows licensees to use improvements and requires non-assertion of intellectual property covering improvements used by other licensees. Use of associated materials and knowhow is made available under an associated BiOS Technology Support Agreement, which sets voluntary contribution fees for users.
- Biological Gene Transfer System for Eukaryotic Cells (TransBacter™) This invention relates generally to technologies for the transfer of nucleic acids molecules to eukaryotic cells. In particular non-pathogenic species of bacteria that interact with plant cells are used to transfer nucleic acid sequences. The bacteria for transforming plants usually contain binary vectors, such as a plasmid with a vir region of a Ti plasmid and a plasmid with a T region containing a DNA sequence of interest. Published in the United States as US 2005/0289672 and US 2005/0289667, and as PCT Publication WO 2006/004914, and as European Patent Application EP 1781082 and as application number 200580029146.8 in China.

Microbial genes for secreted β-glucuronidases, gene products and
uses thereof (GUSPlus™)
- Modified glucuronidase genes from
- and glucuronidase genes from other microbes which encode forms of
β-glucuronidase with different properties,
- secreted forms, are provided. These genes and the proteins they encode may
be used as effectors in transformation of plant cells, and for other uses in
plant biotechnology. Animal and health applications may also be made available.
