          segment (~1200 bp),                                                         
                    (ii) a 5'-3' PGBSS coding region including a major                
          fraction of the 1000-2000 bp segment, the entire 2000-3000 bp               
          segment, the entire 3000-4000 bp segment, and a minor fraction of           
          the 4000-4964 bp segment (~3000 bp); and                                    
                    (iii) a terminator region including a major fraction of           
          the 4000-4964 bp segment (~750 bp).                                         
               V.   Leij (VDX 3) describes the “complete genomic nucleotide           
          sequence” of the PGBSS gene, excluding the putative promoter                
          sequences and polyadenylation signals (VDX 3, Fig. 1, p. 243), as           
          having 2961 bp (~3000 bp)(VDX 3, Fig. 1, p. 243).  Leij’s 2961 bp           
          5'-3' genomic DNA sequence is the 5'-3' gDNA sequence indicated             
          by the bold arrow above the 0-4964 bp PCT SEQ ID No. 5 in                   
          VDX 15/HDX 8.                                                               
               VI.  The 5'-3' genomic DNA sequence depicted by the                    
          antisense arrow at the top of Kuipers’ Fig. 1A (VDX 4, p. 748/              
          HR 339) is defined as follows (VDX 4, p. 748, Fig. 1A,B/HR 339,             
          Fig. 1A,B; emphasis added):                                                 
               The arrow on top indicates the gene including the                      
               promoter region (5' dashed line) and the terminator                    
               region (3' dashed line).                                               


          We find that the arrow on top of Kuipers’ Fig. 1A, including the            
          dashed line promoter and dashed line terminator regions,                    
          corresponds to, or at least approximates, Hofvander’s 4964 bp               
                                        -69-
