Bioinformatics. Except as otherwise set forth in the Transition Plan, CRISPR will be responsible for maintaining [***] and will provide Vertex access as reasonably needed with respect to the Shared Products, including access to validation data and reports. CRISPR will consult with Vertex if any material changes or updates are to be made to [***] and take reasonable steps to provide such changes or updates to Vertex. Additionally, CRISPR will provide reasonable support to Vertex if [***].
Bioinformatics. Bioinformatics is a rapidly growing field, one of whose objectives is to model the natural world. Recent developments suggest a convergence of nanotechnology with the cognitive sciences. This convergence is based on material unity at the nanoscale and the ability to manage information on biological systems at various scales from DNA to society through bioinformatics. Insights from our project relating to the ability to manage information in a large society of artificial systems could contribute to advances in bioinformatics. • Pro-active threshold cryptography. The idea of threshold cryptography is to protect sensitive information by distributing it among a cluster of cooperating computers in a fault-tolerant manner. This information can only be retrieved when a certain threshold is reached by a cluster of machines. The main goals are: improve the security and/or efficiency of cryptographic applications, design new secure cryptographic primitives, formalise and rigorously analyse common cryptographic practices, protect against key exposure, and make distributed/multiparty computations secure. Our dynamic methods of distributing information on a cluster of machines, and our insights into knowledge shared between and amongst agents could contribute to these goals. • Automatic ontology mapping. The vast collections of databases around the globe often have different ways of storing ontologies containing similar data. Communication between these databases is desirable for many reasons and in many places. Our project can provide the insight for developing intermediate languages to communicate between the ontologies of these databases. Companies working in these areas will be targeted for invitation to the project exploitation workshop, and for possible individual technology transfer activities. Further areas for potential exploitation are expected to arise as the project progresses and matures, and as the surrounding state-of-the-art changes. Our exploitation plans will be continuously updated to account for this. On the long term one of the main promises of this project is the ability to tackle problem solving in and generate knowledge about complex environments in a new way. An important category of applications is formed by resource seeking and utilisation, i.e., detecting and collecting some targeted resources, and possibly even processing (manufacturing) them in a prescribed way. Imagine a complex virtual or real environment, such as the Internet or Mars. A...
Bioinformatics. (a) During the Extended License Term, DiaDexus shall promptly and fully disclose to Incyte and SB any DiaDexus IP which is Bioinformatics and subject to the provisions of Paragraph 5.6.3 which is reasonably available and transferable, and shall specify any prior Third Party obligations with respect to DiaDexus IP.
Bioinformatics. As part of The Joint Venture's research and development efforts under the Research Program, The Joint Venture shall develop, acquire and/or integrate the bioinformatics technologies as necessary for the analysis, interpretation and use of the gene expression information generated by The Joint Venture in practicing the MPSS method as permitted hereunder.
Bioinformatics. The GeneSniffer script will continue to be used to rank functional and druggable positional candidate genes. Further development for the script includes: • Inclusion of rank parameter based on proximity to peak of linkage signal • Development of a statistical assessment of the significance of the genes total “hit score” by evaluating scores obtained under the null hypothesis.
