Patent Landscape Report: Marine Genetic Resources Patent Landscape Report: Marine Genetic Resources The WIPO patent landscape report project is based on the Development Agenda project DA_19_30_31_01 “Developing Tools for Access to Patent Information” described in document CDIP/4/6, adopted by the Committee on Development and Intellectual Property (CDIP) at its fourth session held from November 16 to November 20, 2009. The purpose of each report is three fold : • It attempts to research and describe the patterns of patenting and innovation activity related to specific technologies in various domains such as health, food and agriculture, climate change related technologies, and others. • WIPO attempts to collaborate for each report with institutional partners (IGOs, NGOs, public institutions of Member States) working in the respec- tive field and having an interest in a specific topic. The collaborative work in the planning and evaluation phases may also serve as a vehicle for these institutions to familiarize themselves with the utilization and exploitation of patent information and related issues of patent protection. WIPO welcomes proposals for collaboration. • Each report also serves as an illustrative example for retrieving patent in- formation in the respective field and how search strategies may be tailored accordingly. It therefore includes detailed explanations of the particular search methodology, the databases used and well documented search queries that should ideally enable the reader to conduct a similar search. Each report of this project is contracted out to an external firm selected in a tendering procedure. The tender is open to a limited number of bidders that were pre-selected based on their submission of an Expression of Interest (EOI). WIPO invites the submission of further EOIs by qualified providers. More Information on the project, the ongoing work, and a compilation of reports published also by other institutions is available at : www.wipo.int/patentscope/ en/programs/patent_landscapes/pl_about.html For specific information, requests or proposals, please contact us at : patent.

  • Cone Snail Case
    Cone Snail case Cone snail molecular phylogeny Cone snail video Snail Venom Yields Potent Painkiller, But Delivering The Drug Is Tricky Updated August 4, 201510:52 AM ETPublished August 3, 20153:30 PM ET http://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2015/08/03/428990755/snail-venom- yields-potent-painkiller-but-delivering-the-drug-is-tricky Magician’s cone (Conus magus) The magician’s cone, Conus magus, is a fish-hunting, or piscivorous cone snail found in the Western Pacific. It is so common in some of small Pacific islands, especially in the Philippines, that it is routinely sold in the market as food. The magician’s cone attacks its fish prey by sticking out its light yellowish proboscis, from which venom is pushed through a harpoon-like tooth. It hunts by the hook-and-line method and so will engulf its prey after it has been paralyzed. To learn more about hook-and-line hunters, click here. Scientists have analyzed the venom of the magician’s cone and one of its venom components was discovered to have a unique pharmacological activity by blocking a specific calcium channel (N-type). After this venom component was isolated and characterized in a laboratory, researchers realized that it had potential medical application. By blocking N-type calcium channels, the venom blocks channels that when open convey pain from nerve cells. If this is blocked, the brain cannot perceive these pain signals. It was developed as a pain management drug, and is now chemically synthesized and sold under the trade name Prialt. This drug is given to patients who have very severe pain that is not alliviated by morphine.

  • First Report of Neopolystoma Price, 1939 (Monogenea: Polystomatidae) with the Description of Three New Species Louis H
    Du Preez et al. Parasites & Vectors (2017) 10:53 DOI 10.1186/s13071-017-1986-y RESEARCH Open Access Tracking platyhelminth parasite diversity from freshwater turtles in French Guiana: First report of Neopolystoma Price, 1939 (Monogenea: Polystomatidae) with the description of three new species Louis H. Du Preez1,2*, Mathieu Badets1, Laurent Héritier1,3,4 and Olivier Verneau1,3,4 Abstract Background: Polystomatid flatworms in chelonians are divided into three genera, i.e. Polystomoides Ward, 1917, Polystomoidella Price, 1939 and Neopolystoma Price, 1939, according to the number of haptoral hooks. Among the about 55 polystome species that are known to date from the 327 modern living chelonians, only four species of Polystomoides are currently recognised within the 45 South American freshwater turtles. Methods: During 2012, several sites in the vicinity of the cities Cayenne and Kaw in French Guiana were investigated for freshwater turtles. Turtles were collected at six sites and the presence of polystomatid flatworms was assessed from the presence of polystome eggs released by infected specimens. Results: Among the three turtle species that were collected, no polystomes were found in the gibba turtle Mesoclemmys gibba (Schweigger, 1812). The spot-legged turtle Rhinoclemmys punctularia (Daudin, 1801) was infected with two species of Neopolystoma Price, 1939, one in the conjunctival sacs and the other in the urinary bladder, while the scorpion mud turtle Kinosternon scorpioides (Linnaeus, 1766) was found to be infected with a single Neopolystoma species in the conjunctival sacs. These parasites could be distinguished from known species of Neopolystoma by a combination of morphological characteristics including body size, number and length of genital spines, shape and size of the testis.

  • Navigating the R Package Universe by Julia Silge, John C
    CONTRIBUTED RESEARCH ARTICLES 558 Navigating the R Package Universe by Julia Silge, John C. Nash, and Spencer Graves Abstract Today, the enormous number of contributed packages available to R users outstrips any given user’s ability to understand how these packages work, their relative merits, or how they are related to each other. We organized a plenary session at useR!2017 in Brussels for the R community to think through these issues and ways forward. This session considered three key points of discussion. Users can navigate the universe of R packages with (1) capabilities for directly searching for R packages, (2) guidance for which packages to use, e.g., from CRAN Task Views and other sources, and (3) access to common interfaces for alternative approaches to essentially the same problem. Introduction As of our writing, there are over 13,000 packages on CRAN. R users must approach this abundance of packages with effective strategies to find what they need and choose which packages to invest time in learning how to use. At useR!2017 in Brussels, we organized a plenary session on this issue, with three themes: search, guidance, and unification. Here, we summarize these important themes, the discussion in our community both at useR!2017 and in the intervening months, and where we can go from here. Users need options to search R packages, perhaps the content of DESCRIPTION files, documenta- tion files, or other components of R packages. One author (SG) has worked on the issue of searching for R functions from within R itself in the sos package (Graves et al., 2017).

Coomans R.G. Moolenbeek& E. Wils Institute of Taxonomic Zoology (Zoological Museum) University of Amsterdam INTRODUCTION In this ninth part of the revision all names of recent Conus taxa beginning with the letter e are discussed. Amongst these are several nominal species of tent-cones with a C.of close-set lines, the shell a darker pattern consisting very giving appearance (e.g. C. C. The elisae, euetrios, eumitus). phenomenon was also mentioned for C. castaneo- fasciatus, C. cholmondeleyi and C. dactylosus in former issues. This occurs in populations where with normal also that consider them specimens a tent-pattern are found, so we as colour formae. The effect is known shells in which of white opposite too, areas are present, leaving 'islands' with the tent-pattern (e.g. C. bitleri, C. castrensis, C. concatenatus and C. episco- These colour formae. patus). are also art. Because of a change in the rules of the ICZN (3rd edition, 1985: 73-74), there has risen a disagreement about the concept of the "type series". In cases where a museum type-lot consists of more than one specimen, although the original author(s) did not indicate that more than one shell was used for the description, we will designate the single originally mentioned and/or figured specimen as the "lectotype". Never- theless a number of taxonomists will consider that "lectotype" as the holotype, and disregard the remaining shells in the lot as type material.

Received: 31 May 2017; Accepted: 13 July 2017; Published: 18 July 2017 Abstract: Conotoxins in the venom of cone snails (Conus spp.) are a mixture of active peptides that work as blockers, agonists, antagonists, or inactivators of various ion channels. Recently we reported a high-throughput method to identify 215 conotoxin transcripts from the Chinese tubular cone snail, C. betulinus. Here, based on the previous datasets of four transcriptomes from three venom ducts and one venom bulb, we explored ion channel-based conotoxins and predicted their related ion channel receptors. Homologous analysis was also performed for the most abundant ion channel protein, voltage-gated potassium (Kv; with Kv1.1 as the representative), and the most studied ion channel receptor, nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR; with α2-nAChR as the representative), in different animals.

  • 22 April 2013 the Note from CONE the Editor COLLECTOR Dear Friends
    THE CONE COLLECTOR #22 April 2013 THE Note from CONE the Editor COLLECTOR Dear friends, Editor The project “The Cone Collector” is still under seven years old António Monteiro and yet when I look at all we have achieved so far I cannot help thinking that we have probably exceeded expectations. Layout André Poremski We started modestly – as becomes any serious project – back in Contributors October 2006, with our newsletter aimed at all those who are Carlos Afonso interested in studying or collecting Cones, from professional Jim Cootes biologists to amateur collectors. Today we can proudly display Remy Devorsine a total of twenty-four numbers of TCC, two hugely successful Sébastien Dutertre international meetings and a website that brings together an Günther Herndl unparalleled wealth of information on Cones. Joaquin M. Inchaustegui Bruce Livett As a matter of fact, after the uploading in our website (at www. Philippe Quiquandon Christopher Roux theconecollector.com ) of the important and vastly updated Manuel Jiménez Tenorio and augmented work by Mike Filmer’s involving taxonomy and Will van Damme nomenclature, we now have at the same address Paul Kersten’s Alessandro Zanzi extremely useful and well-known Checklist, enriched with new images and much more detailed information than before. This is the work of a team – the names of Manuel Jimenez Tenorio, Bill Fenzan, John Tucker, Gavin Malcolm, Mike Filmer, Paul Kersten and André Poremski readily come to my mind as front row collaborators of TCC, but all others who have contributed with articles, photos, opinions, suggestions and unfailing support deserve equal credit! The project belongs to all and can only survive with the continued support of all.

  • First Record and Conservation Value of Periophthalmus Malaccensis Eggert from Borneo, with Ecological Notes on Other Mudskippers (Teleostei: Gobiidae) in Brunei
    Biology Scientia Bruneiana Special Issue 2016 First record and conservation value of Periophthalmus malaccensis Eggert from Borneo, with ecological notes on other mudskippers (Teleostei: Gobiidae) in Brunei Gianluca Polgar* Environmental and Life Sciences Programme, Faculty of Science, Universiti Brunei Darussalam, Jalan Tungku Link, Gadong, BE 1410, Brunei Darussalam *corresponding author email: [email protected] Abstract The mudskipper Periophthalmus malaccensis is first reported from two mangrove areas of Brunei Darussalam, on the island of Borneo. This species has a relatively restricted geographic distribution and have been reported from Singapore, Philippines, Maluku Islands, western New Guinea, and northern Sulawesi. In Brunei, this species occurs at low population density in high intertidal habitats, which are highly impacted by anthropogenic destruction and fragmentation. For these reasons, the conservation status of this species should be evaluated. The distribution and habitat types of species belonging to Periophthalmus and Periophthalmodon in Brunei are also described. Index Terms: mudskippers, Brunei Bay, mangrove destruction, extinction risk 1. Introduction vulgaris Eggert (clade F in Polgar et al.6) and P.
