"Production Bacterial Cells And Use Thereof In Production Methods" in Patent Application Approval Process (USPTO 20240182870).

A patent application has been filed for a method of producing phage particles or phage-derived delivery vehicles. The method involves using genetic modules from one phage to assemble and package another phage, allowing for the production of desired phage particles. This technique could be used to target pathogenic bacteria or bacteria that are difficult to manipulate. The patent application also discusses a method for identifying and characterizing operons in viral genomes, which are groups of genes that are transcribed together and play a role in gene expression regulation. This technology has the potential to enhance our understanding of viral genetics and how viruses infect and replicate within host cells. [Extracted from the article]
