DNA FOR HUMAN REGULATORY SUBUNITS (RI ALPHA AND RII BETA) OF CAMP-DEPENDENT PROTEIN KINASES
DNA PROBES FOR FINGERPINT ANALYSIS WITHOUT TANDEM REPEATS Marion E Hodes, Franklin H Norris, Marquis Hodes DNA probes for DNA fingerprint analysis. The DNA probes are 15 nucleotide sequences wherein 8 nucleotides of each sequence are G, 3 are T, I is C, I is A and 2 are A, C, G or T (N), except that the nucleotide sequence is not the M 13 consensus sequence GAGGGTGGNGGNTCT. In particular, the 15-nucleotide sequence GGTGGNGATGGCTNG or as randomized variant of this sequence which is not the M 13 consensus sequence, may be used as probes to detect hypervariable regions in genomic DNA, Methods for the preparation of such probes and for the detection of restriction length fragment polymorphisms using such probes are disclosed. The DNA probes are useful in genetic origin determination of human, animal or plant DNAcontaining samples.

Tor Jahnsen, Ski, Norway Complementary DNA (cDNA) probes or fragments derived from these for human regulatory subunits of cAMP-dependent protein kinases. Human cDNA's for regulatory subunits (RI alpha and RII beta) of cAMP-dependent protein kinases have been identified and cloned.
5097092 INBRED CORN LINE PHR62 Loren J Hoffbeck assigned to Pioneer Hi-Bred International Inc According to the invention, there is provided an inbred corn line, designated PHR62. This invention thus relates to the plants and seeds of inbred corn line PHR62 and to methods for producing a corn plant produced by crossing the inbred line PHR62 with itself or with another corn plant. This invention further relates to hybrid corn seeds and plants produced by crossing the inbred line PHR62 with another corn line or plant and to crosses with related species.
PLANT PROMOTERS Philip Benfey, Nam-Ha Chua assigned to The Rockefeller University Five subdomains of the CaMV35S promoter are provided that cause tissue specific and/or developmentally regulated expression of chimeric genes in plants. These subdomains act as promoters for use in transformed plant cells, seeds and transgenic plants. Some of the subdomains require fusion to domain A for expression. Subdomains B2, B3, B4, and B5 exhibit expression when fused to the minimal promoter sequence in mature plants whereas only B2 and B3 confer expression in seeds and only B2, B3 and B4 confer expression at the seedling stage of development. The combination of subdomains B4 and B5 confers expression at all stages of development as does the B I + T G A C G motif combination when each combination is fused with the minimal promoter sequence. The nucleotide sequence and DNA molecule that function as the enhancers are provided.
5098536 METHOD OF IMPROVING SIGNAL-TO-NOISE IN ELECTROPHEROGRAM Philip D Anderson assigned to Beckman Instruments ]nc A method and apparatus for improving signal to noise in an electropherogram acquired by electrophoresis. The migration time is remapped by binning the data with respect to migration time to improve signal to noise and peak resolution. The data points of the electropherogram are pooled into variable size bins, each corresponding to a number of time intervals. The sizes of the bins increase with migration time. To further improve signal to noise and peak resolution, the binned data is filtered by Fourier transformation. The present invention allows for accurate determinatiion of DNA sequences.
