definiens: means molecular profiling applications . This may include products or processes used to analyze, detect, identify, quantify, sequence, or o therwise characterize biological materials, includi ng but not limited to RNA ( including micro - RNA, sRNAs, long no n - coding RNA ( lncRNA ), siRNA, and non - canonical RNA base modifications thereof ), DNA ( including epi genetic modifications such as acetylation, methylat ion, and deamination, and single nucleotide variants, insert ion - deletions, structural rearrangements of all cla sses ), and proteins ( including post - translational modification s such as phosphorylation, acylation, alkylation, g lycosylation, ubiquitylation, amidation, and sulfylation ) . For cl arity, the Field shall include the research, develo pment, manufacture and commercialization of molecular prof iling products and services, including diagnostic i nstruments and assays, for research, clinical, and diagnostic applications but if a product or process has applic ation outside of molecular profiling, such application(s ) is not wit hin the Field
