A. Yes.
Q. What kind of work did you do?
A. I would scan the sequence, looking for
polyadenylation regions. And as we would read the
literature, we’d look for new sequences like that.
I did analyses of the Bt coding sequence to get these
shorter pieces of DNA so I could do my mapping experiments.
And we would just look at the sequences and compare
them with other sequences that were being described in the
literature.
In 1985 new genes were being sequenced and this was a
great time for new material being available. And we would
read the literature and look at the Bt gene and see if there
was anything interesting to compare it with, with what was
reported in the literature.
When asked if she spent time preparing codon usage tables
while at Agrigenetics, Dr. Murray testified (AR 4158, p. 470,
l. 11, p. 471, l. 22)(emphasis added):
A. I started working on codon usage tables that I
would generate myself. I started learning how to use the
software in late spring and early summer of 1987. And I
needed to know how to use two pieces of software. I needed
to use a software to generate the codon usage tables and
then I needed to get the sequences of the genes to enter
into the codon analysis software.
So I started collecting the sequences of the genes to
put into the codon analysis software throughout the summer
of 1987, kind of intermittently. And then, in August 1987,
I did codon analysis with the sequences that I had
collected.
And that’s in my notebook on August 27th, 1987.
