HOUSTON -- Baylor College of Medicine acquired a non- exclusive license to IP Genesis, Inc.'s Comparative Sequence Assembly (CSA(TM)) technology. CSA technology helps decipher the function of the human genome by determining sequences that are conserved across species and thus stand out in the midst of the vast majority of highly variable "junk" DNA. US Patent 6,001,562 covers the core CSA technology, including the fragment assembly of one nucleic acid by using sequence of a second, already assembled DNA sequence to guide the comparative assembly process. The Patent covers both the standard dideoxy method used in shotgun sequencing as well as hybridization-based methods ...
