Re: [DIYbio] Re: The ODIN Needs Your Help - T4 DNA Ligase Testing - Free Ligase

I'm not an expert on reading patents, but it looks like the patent covers the method of the cloning procedure, not the production of SLiCE extract, nor the composition matter of SLiCE extract. Selling the SLiCE mix might not actually violate the patent (that'd be up to the user to do or not do). It also looks like the the patent only covers assembly of fragments that have "20 bp to 52 bp that are homologous". So using 19bp or 53bp homologous regions might be a way around the patent. Maybe a bit less efficient, but it looks like that would still work.

Yea, my apologies for the non-controlled experiment, I didn't set it up to be very controlled because I didn't think I'd get that good of efficiency. I will be running a few more in the next few weeks so I will post the results. 

Unfortunately enough, it appears that SLiCE is patented ( http://www.google.com/patents/US20130045508 ), and the company that owns the patent charges an arm and a leg ( http://slicecloning.com/SLiCE.html , more than HiFi mix per reaction). I guess the ODIN can't sell the mix, but possibly sell a kit to make it yourself.

This is pretty cool. If people try and repeat these experiments can they post detailed details(heh) of what they did so others can follow suite.

Also, it doesn't seem anyone is running the control of everything but the SLiCE mixture. If you are running an experiment can you do that and let us know how that goes?

Thanks,

I tried out my homemade SLiCE mix. I put 100ng of both insert and vector in for a 2 piece assembly, for 30 minutes. I compared it to some homemade Gibson mix.

On my plates, I got 13 colonies on the SLiCE plate and 42 colonies on the Gibson. I am extremely impressed with 1/3 considering just the simple strain and simple lysis procedure.

[DIYbio] Fwd: US Biotech Regulations -- your support is still needed!

Subject: US Biotech Regulations -- your support is still needed!

View this email in your browser

Dear Allies of Science,
 
Today, federal agencies in the United States will hear public comments regarding the review of the Coordinated Framework for the Regulation of Biotechnology. 

We need your input, comments and case studies as OSTP reviews the existing U.S. Coordinated Framework for the Regulation of BiotechnologyThe call for comments will end on November 13, so we still have a chance to ensure that scientists both working in the public sector and for small businesses have greater access to innovate using the tools of biotechnology.  

We plan to submit all of the comments that we receive as one package in order to amplify the support for public sector science. 

If you haven't done so already make your case study known using our petition:
http://cas.nonprofitsoapbox.com/usbiotechregulations
 
Now is the time for scientists to speak up and share their accounts of how the playing field could be leveled so that public sector scientists can innovate using all the tools available to deploy solutions much-needed in agricultural solutions. 
 
Make your voice heard to OSTP!
 
Yours,
Sarah Evanega and the Alliance for Science Team
