kanzure"This capability was believed to be possible, but rare, in fungi."11:04
kanzure"In the new study, based on a genome-wide analysis of three Fusarium species, it was shown experimentally that complete chromosomes were being transferred between different fungal strains, along with the ability to cause infection."11:04

kanzure"The GreenXchange (GX) is a clearinghouse for know-how, patent pledges, and patent licenses related to sustainability. Companies participating in the GX will be able to make both patented and unpatented innovations ("know-how") available for research uses and commercialization on standard and transparent terms and conditions. "15:04
kanzure"The CAMBIA project in Australia pioneered an "open" patent project called BIOS for use on agricultural and biotechnology inventions, IBM dedicated the Non-Assertion Against Open Source Software for open source software, and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development has developed the Eco-Patent Commons."15:05
kanzure"Linux Patent Commons use patent pledges (non-assertions) exclusively, for both commercial and non-commercial uses"15:05
kanzure"By contrast, the Research Non-Assertion Pledge of GX is targeted specifically for non-profit research, while the patent licenses offer a path to commercial applications."15:05
