Did You Know...
...that when IBM conducted a market study of Chester Carlson's invention in 1959, the company concluded that it would take only 5000 units of his new product to saturate the market? IBM therefore declined to be part of the new product introduction. Too bad for IBM. Carlson's invention was the xerography process, and his new product was the beginning of the Xerox Corporation. It is estimated that every day, worldwide, 3,000,000,000 copies are made!!

| 7820153 | Semiochemical cis-Jasmone has been discovered to be useful as a semiochemical that changes the behavior of insects and/or the physiology of plants. It has direct signalling roles with plant-feeding aphids, in attraction of aphid predators and parasitoids, and may act as an airbor... | 10/26/2010 |
| 7704688 | Methods of detecting silencing mammalian cells Methods are disclosed for screening of the occurrence of gene silencing (e.g. post transcriptional gene silencing) in an organism. Also provided are methods for isolating silencing agents so identified. ... | 04/27/2010 |
| 7166468 | Production of the lantibiotic cinnamycin with genes isolated from A 17 kb nucleic acid fragment, which confers production of the lantibiotic cinnamycin on non-producer Streptomycete strains, has been isolated from Streptomyces cinnamoneus cinnamoneus DSM 40005 and characterized. Also provided are variants of the 17 kb fragm... | 01/23/2007 |
| 7091397 | Nucleic acid molecules encoding polypeptides having the enzymatic activity of an RNA-directed RNA polymerase (RdRP) Described are nucleic acid molecules encoding polypeptides having the enzymatic activity of an RNA-directed RNA polymerase (RdRP). Vectors comprising said nucleic acid molecules, wherein the nucleic acid molecules are operatively linked to regulatory elements allowi... | 08/15/2006 |
| 6890525 | Semiochemical cis-Jasmone has been discovered to be useful as a semiochemical that changes the behaviour of insects and/or the physiology of plants.
