IP Genesis receives two new patents and successfully completes the Genboree Early Access Program

THE WOODLANDS, TX (October 14th, 2010)

US Patent 7,809,509, owned by IP Genesis, issued on October 5th, 2010. The patent describes a method for assembling DNA sequences using information about their relative position inferred by comparison against a known sequence of a related nucleic acid.

The patent is a new addition to the IPG’s flagship CSA technology portfolio. CSA technology assembles read fragments from a DNA sequencing project using related genomic sequences to guide the assembly process. CSA includes comparative genome assembly and templated assembly. CSA enables faster, more economical and accurate assemblies of genomes using next-generation sequencing technologies. The CSA technology is also covered by the earlier US Patent 6,001,562 .

US patent 7,809,510 , also issued on October 5th 2010 and owned by IP Genesis, describes positional hashing, a method for detecting similarities between nucleic acid sequences that is uniquely suited for accurate and fast high-volume comparison of sequences generated by massively parallel sequencing technologies.

In related news, IP Genesis has successfully completed its Genboree Early Access Program. Due in part to the program, the fiscal year 2009 was the first profitable year for the company on revenue including Genboree services and CSA technology licensing.

IP Genesis enables new discovery pathways in biomedical research, with a focus on in- and out- licensing, development, integration, dissemination, and deployment of cutting-edge software and technologies that employ genomic information to accelerate biomedical discovery.

Genboree Hosting Program

Genboree Hosting Program aims to provide Genboree Hosting services to a small number of early clients who already generate high volumes of genomic data such as:

  • Genome variation at the basepair level;
  • Structural genome variation;
  • Epigenomic data;
  • Heterogeneous genomic information generated by multiple genomic technologies.
