              Application No. 10/060,974                                                                                 

                                                       Summary                                                           
                     The specification does not disclose a specific and substantial utility for the                      
              claimed nucleic acids, as required by 35 U.S.C. § 101.  We therefore affirm the                            
              examiner’s rejection of claims 1, 2, and 4-6.                                                              
                     No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this appeal                      
              may be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a).
