Appeal No. 2006-0227 Page 2
Application No. 10/121,264
The claims subject to each rejection stand or fall together, because Appellants
have not argued them separately. See 37 CFR § 41.37(c)(1)(vii). Claims 23, 24, and
40 are representative and read as follows:
23. A device comprising
a) a substrate comprising
1) a matrix;
2) one or more separate transfer agent spaces; and
3) one or more transfer agent layers contained in one or more of
the separate transfer agent spaces; and
b) genetic material deposited on or in one or more of the transfer agent
layers, wherein the genetic material on each of a majority of the transfer agent
layers comprises purified genomic DNA comprising more than one chromosome
of the genomic DNA from at least one cell of an individual within a defined
population.
24. The substrate of claim 23, wherein at least one of the transfer agent layers
comprises a saccharide selected from at least one of sucrose and
glucose.
40. A device comprising:
a) a substrate;
b) a transfer agent layer; and
c) a first genetic material position and a second genetic material position
on or in the transfer agent layer that each comprise genetic material,
wherein the genetic material of the first genetic material position
comprises purified genomic DNA comprising more than one
chromosome of the genomic DNA from at least one cell of an individual
within a defined population and the genetic material of the second
genetic material position comprises purified genomic DNA comprising
more than one chromosome of the genomic DNA from at least one cell
of an individual within a defined population, and wherein the genetic
material of the first genetic material position is separate from the
genetic material of the second genetic material position.
