20140344264 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SEARCHING INFORMATION IN DATABASES - A data processing system for searching information recorded in one or more databases and for generating one or more corresponding search results for presentation via a user interface is beneficially implemented such that the system includes computing hardware which is operable to execute one or more software products recorded on machine-readable data storage media; the system operates in a manner which reduces an overall computational effort at the one or more databases and reduces an amount of data exchange between the one or more databases and the user interface. The system is operable to enable a user to define, via the user interface, one or more categories into which search results are to be sorted after analysis thereof. Moreover, the system is operable to provide on the user interface supplementary information describing in greater detail the search results in response to user-interrogation of the one or more graphical objects. | 11-20-2014 |

20150189792 | Apparatus and Methods for Processing Exfoliated Graphite Materials - Methods and apparatus for processing flexible graphite sheet material involve patterning the material, on at least one major surface, prior to further processing of the material such as densification, lamination, folding or shaping into three-dimensional structures. For densification and lamination, the patterning is selected to facilitate the removal of air from the flexible graphite sheet material during the densification and lamination process. For folding or shaping, the patterning is selected to render the graphite sheet material more flexible. In some embodiments, methods for increasing the through-plane conductivity of flexible graphite sheet material are employed. Integrated heat removal devices include sheets of graphite material that have been selectively patterned in different regions to impart desirable localized properties to the material prior to it being shaped or formed into an integrated heat removal device. Coatings and/or resin impregnation can also be used to impart desirable properties to the material or device. | 07-02-2015 |

20100190841 | GENETIC SUPPRESSION AND REPLACEMENT - The invention relates to gene suppression and replacement. In particular, the invention relates to enhanced expression of suppression agents for suppressing gene expression in a cell and in vivo and replacement nucleic acids that are not inhibited by the suppression agent. Regulatory elements are included in expression vectors to optimize expression of the suppression agent and/or replacement nucleic acid. | 07-29-2010 |

20110229439 | COMPLEMENT PROTEINS - The present invention relates to classical pathway complement proteins and their use in the prognosis and prevention of diseases involving cone photoreceptor degeneration. Specifically, the present invention is directed to the use of one or more classical pathway complement proteins, preferably involved in the recognition phase, in the maintenance of cone photoreceptor cell viability in a degenerating retina. The invention is also directed to a method for determining the susceptibility, risk of development and/or progression of diseases involving cone photoreceptor degeneration in a subject. | 09-22-2011 |
20150099798 | VARIANTS OF YEAST NDI1 GENE, AND USES THEREOF IN THE TREATMENT OF DISEASE ASSOCIATED WITH MITOCHONDRIAL DYSFUNCTION - An isolated nucleic acid sequence encoding the yeast NDI1 protein of SEQ ID NO: 542 or a functional variant thereof is described. The nucleic acid sequence comprises at least 50 codons which are codon optimised compared with the sequence of yeast NDI1 gene of SEQ ID NO: 1. | 04-09-2015 |

20090197336 | SUPPRESSION OF POLYMORPHIC ALLELES - Methods and agents for suppressing expression of a mutant allele of a gene having a polymorphism are provided. The methods of the invention provide suppression effectors such as antisense nucleic acids or ribozymes, that bind to nucleic acid regions having a polymorphism within a gene such that one allele of a gene is exclusively or preferentially suppressed. The method also provides the administration of a replacement nucleic acid, if required. The invention has the advantage that the same suppression strategy, when directed to polymorphisms, could be used to suppress, in principle, many mutations in a polymorphic gene. This is particularly relevant when large numbers of mutations within a single gene cause disease pathology. | 08-06-2009 |
20090233368 | ALLELE SUPPRESSION - A strategy for suppressing expression of one allele of an endogenous gene is provided comprising providing suppression effectors such as antisense nucleic acids able to bind to polymorphisms within or adjacent to a gene such that one allele of a gene is exclusively or preferentially suppressed and if required of a replacement gene can be introduced. | 09-17-2009 |
20110190371 | GENETIC SUPPRESSION AND REPLACEMENT - Methods and agents for suppressing expression of a mutant allele of a gene and providing a replacement nucleic acid are provided. The methods of the invention provide suppression effectors such as, for example, antisense nucleic acids, ribozymes, or RNAi, that bind to the gene or its RNA. The invention further provides for the introduction of a replacement nucleic acid with modified sequences such that the replacement nucleic acid is protected from suppression by the suppression effector. The replacement nucleic acid is modified at degenerate wobble positions in the target region of the suppression effector and thereby is not suppressed by the suppression effector. In addition, by altering wobble positions, the replacement nucleic acid can still encode a wild type gene product. The invention has the advantage that the same suppression strategy could be used to suppress, in principle, many mutations in a gene. Also disclosed is a transgenic mouse that expresses human rhodopsin (modified replacement gene) and a transgenic mouse that expresses a suppression effector targeting rhodopsin. Also disclosed in intraocular administration of siRNA. | 08-04-2011 |
