The invention relates to a tool for collecting a sample of animal tissue, for interacting with collection means including at least one cutting element capable of cutting out said sample and a pushing element movable with respect to said cutting element and capable of pushing said sample into post-cutting storage means. According to the invention, such a tool includes: a means for driving said cutting element (21), a means for driving said pushing element (23), and a means for reversibly coupling said drive means of the cutting element with said drive means of the pushing element.

Tool for collecting a sample of animal tissue

The present invention relates to multispecific, especially bispecific antibodies comprising full length antibodies and single chain Fab fragments, methods for their production, pharmaceutical compositions containing the antibodies, and uses thereof.

Multispecific antibodies comprising full length antibodies and single chain fab fragments

The present invention provides compositions of matter, kits and methods for their use in the treatment of cancer. In particular, the invention provides compositions and methods for treating cancer in a subject by inhibiting a poly-ADP-ribose polymerase, as well as providing formulations and modes of administering such compositions.

Treatment of Cancer

Certain embodiments provide a method for capturing a genomic fragment. The method may comprise: obtaining a substrate comprising a first population of surface-bound oligonucleotides and a second population of surface-bound oligonucleotides; hybridizing a first member of the first population of surface-bound oligonucleotides to a selection oligonucleotide comprising a region that hybridizes with the first member and a region that contains a genomic sequence; extending the first member of the first population of surface-bound oligonucleotides to produce a support-bound selection primer that comprises a sequence that is complementary to the genomic sequence; hybridizing the support-bound selection primer to a nucleic acid fragment comprising the genomic sequence; extending the support-bound selection primer to produce an extension product that contains a sequence that flanks the genomic sequence, e.g., in a genome; and amplifying the extension product on the substrate.

Devices and method for tracking animals. More particularly, embodiments of the present invention provide a method of tracking an animal that includes assigning an animal identification (110) to a first animal, collecting a biological sample from the first animal and associating the first animal with each premises at which the first animal is located. The invention further provides an identification device (100) that includes a tag portion (102) and a sample portion (104). The tag portion can be configured to be attached to animal in any method known in the art. The sample portion can be detachably coupled to the tag portion and can include a biological collector (208) that can collect a biological sample from the animal.

Methods and systems are provided for managing non-beef livestock subjects in order to maximize their individual potential performance and the value of a product from the non-beef livestock subjects, and to maximize profits obtained in marketing the non-beef livestock subjects. The methods and systems draw an inference of a trait of a non-beef livestock subject by determining the nucleotide occurrence of at least one non-beef livestock SNP that is determined to be associated with the trait. The inference is used in methods of the present invention to establish the economic value of a non-beef livestock subject, to improve profits related to selling beef from a non-beef livestock subject; to manage non-beef livestock subjects, to sort non-beef livestock subjects; to improve the genetics of a non-beef livestock population by selecting and breeding of non-beef livestock subjects, to clone a non-beef livestock subject with a specific trait, to track meat or another commercial product of a non-beef livestock subject; and to diagnose a health condition of a non-beef livestock subject. Certain embodiments of the present invention provide methods, systems, and kits are directed to inferences of a trait related to milk or a dairy product in a livestock subject.

Methods and Systems for Inferring Traits to Breed and Manage Non-Beef Livestock

Provided herein are methods to discover and use single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) for identifying breed, or line and breed, or line composition of a bovine subject. The present invention further provides specific nucleic acid sequences, SNPs, and SNP patterns that can be used for identifying breed or breed combinations for Angus, Holstein, Limousin, Brahman, Hereford, Simmental, Gelbvieh, Charolais and Beefmaster breeds. These patterns can be utilized to manage animals in a feedlot to obtain optimum performance based on known characteristics of specific breeds and identify animals for breeding in selection programs. In another aspect, these patterns can be used to ensure labeling on breed specific branded products.

Compositions, methods and systems for inferring bovine breed

Methods, compositions, and systems are provided for managing bovine subjects in order to maximize their individual potential performance and edible meat value, and to maximize profits obtained in marketing the bovine subjects. The methods and systems draw an inference of a trait of a bovine subject by determining the nucleotide occurrence of at least one bovine SNP that is identified herein as being associated with the trait. The inference is used in methods of the present invention to establish the economic value of a bovine subject, to improve profits related to selling beef from a bovine subject; to manage bovine subjects, to sort bovine subjects; to improve the genetics of a bovine population by selecting and breeding of bovine subjects, to clone a bovine subject with a specific trait, to track meat or another commercial product of a bovine subject; and to diagnose a health condition of a bovine subject. Methods are also disclosed for identifying additional SNPs associated with a trait, by using the associated SNPs identified herein.
