Lambda KOS, a component of Lexicon's genetic engineering technology portfolio, is designed to streamline and accelerate the drug discovery process through identification of gene function and determination of the roles genes play in various human diseases.
Lexicon can also leverage its Lambda KOS technology to generate a wide variety of vectors for the introduction of gene modifications such as point mutations, humanized alleles, and conditional mutations using the Cre/loxP recombinase system, which Lexicon has licensed from DuPont Pharmaceuticals.
In effect, we can go from library screen to ES cell electroporation in 3-4 weeks, at whatever level of mutation specification is desired."

The worldwide lexicon is an open source project to create a peer to peer dictionary service that is accessible to any Internet device or application via the SOAP interface.
Inspired by distributed computing applications such as SETI@Home, the worldwide lexicon will enlist a large number of Internet users to provide definitions and translations for words and phrases in most human language domains.
While the task of creating such a dictionary is a large one, by embedding this application within popular applications such as instant messaging it will be possible to spread this workload across a large user population.

While poker players are a notoriously singular bunch, with the proliferation of poker tournaments, differing standards of tournament rules and structures and even the scheduling (perhaps, as the casinos themselves can be pretty singular as well), such a worldwide organization can be a tremendous bridge to taking poker more into the worldwide lexicon.
Here again, a worldwide poker organization can be the catalyst to determining what tournaments are worthy of inclusion.

 The Language of an Organic Architecture
To defend and explain whatever I have myself built and written on the subject I here append a nine-word lexicon needed, worldwide, at this moment of our time.
If what I have myself written upon the subject of architecture and any one on the 560 building I have built are studied with this nine-word lexicon in mind, I am sure we will have far less of the confusion and nonsensical criticism upon which inference, imitation, doubt and prejudice have flourished.
Isms, ists and ites defeat the great hope we are still trying to keep alive in our hearts in face of prevalent expedients now sterilizing the work of young American architects and rendering our schools harmful to the great art of architecture although perhaps profitable to science commercialized.
