Oct. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Lexicon Genetics Incorporated (Nasdaq: LEXG - news) announced today that it has been issued U.S. Patent No. 6,136,566 (the ``'566 patent'') entitled ``Indexed Library of Cells Containing Genomic Modifications and Methods of Making and Utilizing the Same.'' The '566 patent broadly covers commercial-scale collections of mutated ES cell clones such as those present in Lexicon's OmniBank library of over 90,000 mutated ES cell clones. The OmniBank library presently represents the world's most expansive genomics resource for using mammalian biology to determine the functional significance of the sequence data resulting from the Human Genome Project and other sequencing efforts. In addition, the '566 patent extends broad intellectual property protection for Lexicon's core technologies for determining the function of thousands of specific genes and applies to all of Lexicon's current gene trapping vectors and related methods.
``The '566 patent further confirms Lexicon's leadership position in technologies for discovering mammalian gene function for genome-wide pharmaceutical discovery,'' said Brian P. Zambrowicz, Ph.D., Lexicon's Senior Vice President of Genomics. ``Lexicon's proprietary genome-wide and gene-specific technologies will accelerate gene function discoveries for new therapeutic products.''
