THE WITNESS: I recall it was myself.
Q. What did you do?
A. I recall compiling tables, where I analyzed
sequences of Bt genes for patterns of codon usage.
Q. This was in 1985?
A. Yes.
When questioned whether he had seen any documents relating to the
work he did in 1985 compiling tables to analyze sequences for Bt
genes for patterns of codon usage prior to his deposition, Dr.
Adang answered (AR 0121, l. 2-21):
A. Well, I recall that they were documents,
printouts from computer programs that were run to
analyze codon usage.
When asked if he had actually developed “a codon usage table
for native Bt gene in November of 1985" and used it (AR 0123,
l. 10-11), Dr. Adang testified as follows (AR 0123, l. 12, to
AR 0125, l. 5):
A. As I recall, yes.
Q. Did you make any effort to compare that codon
usage table for the native Bt gene with the information
available to you regarding codon usage in plants?
. . . . .
A. I looked at codon usage tables that were published
for several plant genes . . . .
