Technology Transfer And The Genome Project: Problems With Patenting Research Tools, Rebecca S. Eisenberg Mar 1994

Technology Transfer And The Genome Project: Problems With Patenting Research Tools, Rebecca S. Eisenberg

RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)

Professor Eisenberg argues against a system providing for federally-sponsored inventions to be patented if any associated person so desires. She believes that the system does not adequately weigh the possibility that the greatest social return from genome research will require some discoveries to be in the public domain.

Comparative Mapping Of Arabidopsis Thaliana And Brassica Oleracea Chromosomes Reveals Islands Of Conserved Organization, Stanley P. Kowalski, Tien-Hung Lan, Kenneth A. Feldmann, Andrew H. Patterson Jan 1994

Comparative Mapping Of Arabidopsis Thaliana And Brassica Oleracea Chromosomes Reveals Islands Of Conserved Organization, Stanley P. Kowalski, Tien-Hung Lan, Kenneth A. Feldmann, Andrew H. Patterson

Law Faculty Scholarship

The chromosomes of Arabidopsis thaliana and Brassica oleracea have been extensively rearranged since the divergence of these species; however, conserved regions are evident. Eleven regions of conserved organization were detected, ranging from 3.7 to 49.6 cM in A. thaliana, spanning 158.2 cM (24.6%) of the A. thaliana genome, and 245 cM (29.9%) of the B. oleracea genome. At least 17 translocations and 9 inversions distinguish the genomes of A. thaliana and B. oleracea. In one case B. oleracea homoeologs show a common marker order, which is distinguished from the A. thaliana order by a rearrangement, indicating that the lineages of …
