New in vivo genetic code: resistant to all viruses; novel amino acids Freeing 4 tRNAs, 7 codons: UAG, UUR, AGY, AGR e.g. PEG-pAcPhe-hGH (Ambrx, Schultz) high serum stability 4 1 Isaacs Church Forster Carr Jacobson Jahnz Schultz 3 2
To change the genetic code • Free up 1 or more codons by change 30 to 30,000 codons throughout the genome • Remove the RF or tRNA dedicated to those codon(s) • Add orthogonal tRNA and synthetase protein • Add selectable gene dependent on above

Why low error rates? Goal of genotyping & resequencing Discovery of variants E.g. cancer somatic mutations ~1E-6 (or lab evolved cells) Consensus error rateTotal errors(E.coli)(Human) 1E-4 Bermuda/Hapmap 500 600,000 4E-5 454 @40X 200 240,000 3E-7 Polony-SbL @6X 0 1800 1E-8 Goal for 2006 0 60 Also, effectively reduce (sub)genome target size by enrichment for exons or common SNPs to reduce cost & # false positives.
