                 Appeal No. 1998-2648                                                                                     
                 Application No. 08/473,888                                                                               

                                                           Summary                                                        
                         The instant claims are definite and adequately described by the                                  
                 specification, and the evidence of record does not support the examiner’s                                
                 position that the prior art oligonucleotides inherently possess all of the properties                    
                 recited in the instant claims.  We therefore reverse all of the rejections on appeal.
