Q. There’s handwriting on this page above the
signatures. . . . [C]an you tell me whose writing that is?
. . . . .
A. Mine.
Q. Now the last bit of text on this page states, and
I quote, “The Btt sequence was scanned for sequences such
as AATAAA and ATTTA that should be eliminated.” Do you see
that, sir?
A. I do.
Q. Do you recall who did this scanning referred to
here?
A. My recollection, it was myself.
Q. Why was that scanning performed?
A. To identify where in the Btt gene and if the
sequences were located in the Btt gene, where they were
present.
Q. Do you recall whether any ATTTA sequences were
found?
A. Yes, they were.
Q. What did you do after you found them?
A. After - as I went through the process of
redesigning the gene, I eliminated those sequences.
Q. Can you tell me the date on which the entries on
this page were made?
A. Well, the date at the bottom right-hand corner
by myself says 4-22-88. So this would have been written
about that time. Sometimes I didn’t sign the bottom of
the page at the exact date in which I filled it in. So
it would be have been written, perhaps, shortly before
that date when I signed it.
