called electroporation that she and another scientist were
developing for more rapid analysis of Bt genes in plant
cells (AR 4156-4157; AR 6885).
(17) Drs. Adang and Murray performed experiments directed
towards transgenic expression systems based on constructions
of a series of gene deletions of natural Bt genes (e.g.,
electroporation), associated with heli cell extracts,
designed for heat shock promoters and constructs, and used
to test Shaw Kamen sequences, “each of those experiments
were for the purpose of identifying the gene part, region
that needed or would benefit from fixing most . . . . Then
we could go and rebuild the gene upon codon preference and
codon frequency” (AR 0111-0112; AR 6884-6886).
(18) Drs. Adang and Murray “had . . . some experiments on
identifying destabilizing regions that . . . [they] were
following up on up until . . . August, 1988" (AR 0114-0115).
(19) “No,” Dr. Adang did not “believe that identifying the
. . . destabilizing region would be necessary in order for
. . . [the] invention involving increasing the number of
plant-preferred codons in the native Bt gene to work”
(AR 0116, l. 16-21).
(20) Dr. Murray “thought the shorter RNA’s [identified by
Northern blots] might have occurred due to some other
