Combinatorial Transcription Control

技术应用

The potential of programming genetic responses “at will” using this approach offers a multitude of applications in bioengineering, biomedicine, molecular agriculture, and other fields that benefit from manipulation of gene expression. For instance, it can be designed to detect specific gene expression patterns associated with hazardous, defective, degenerative, enhancing, or regenerative factors in organisms ranging from bacteria to humans, and thereby allowing the targeted expression of genes for reporting or therapeutic purposes.

详细技术说明

UC San Diego inventors have developed strategies and methods for exertion of combinatorial control on gene expression by integrating multiple transcription signals directly in the regulatory region without the need for additional genes and their expressions.

US Class: 702019 | 4350061 | 702020 | 702022
Assignee Applicant: The Regents of the University of California
Title: Combinatorial transcription control for programmed genetic response
Usefulness: Combinatorial transcription control for programmed genetic response
Summary: The method is used for controlling the transcription of target genes and for genetic computing using combinatorial transcription for controlling gene expression (claimed).
Novelty: Encoding controlled functions in regulatory DNA sequences to exert combinatorial transcription control, involves selecting strength of binding sites of transcription factors and their positioning to implement several different logic functions
