Abstract: Systems and methods for aggregating data. The system is configured to receive metadata from an interactive graphical user interface (GUI) of a user device, aggregate field values from the data stored on one or more databases based on the received metadata and generate filter instructions based on the received metadata. The system is further configured to transmit the aggregated field values and the filter instructions to the user device, receive a user-customized filter set and subscription request for a synthetic symbol associated with the user-customized filter set from the user device, and create the synthetic symbol responsive to the subscription request. Moreover, the system aggregates one or more data values from the data stored on the databases associated with the created synthetic symbol and generates instructions to display the data values on the interactive GUI in accordance with the user-customized filter set associated with the created synthetic symbol.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a data aggregator interactive graphical user interface. An interactive graphical user interface (GUI) includes a selectable symbol region, a query region and a data results region. The selectable symbol region displays predefined symbols. The query region displays user input fields for generating queries. The system receives user input associated with the user input fields of the query region to form a filter set. The data results region is automatically updated responsive to the user input, to display one or more data values from among one or more databases associated with the filter set. The system receives a subscription request to save the filter set as a user-customized query. A custom symbol is created responsive to the subscription request that is associated with the filter set. The the selectable symbol region is updated to display the custom symbol together with the predefined symbols.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides tobacco Nic1b locus and associated genes (e.g., a group of ERF genes). Also provided are tobacco plants with altered total alkaloid and nicotine levels and commercially acceptable leaf grade, their development via breeding or transgenic approaches, and production of tobacco products from these tobacco plants. Further provided are compositions and methods for producing tobacco plants having novel mutations or alleles to reduce nicotine levels. Further provided are sequence polymorphisms and molecular markers for breeding tobacco with reduced nicotine or alkaloids while maintaining tobacco leaf grade and tobacco product quality.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for serial flow emulsion processes. Systems and methods as described herein result in reduced cross-contamination.

Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for genome modification of a target sequence in the genome of a plant or plant cell, without incorporating a selectable transgene marker. The methods and compositions employ a guide polynucleotide/Cas endonuclease system to provide an effective system for modifying or altering target sites within the genome of a plant, plant cell or seed, without incorporating a selectable transgene marker. Once a genomic target site is identified, a variety of methods can be employed to further modify the target sites such that they contain a variety of polynucleotides of interest. Breeding methods and methods for selecting plants utilizing a guide polynucleotide/Cas endonuclease system are also disclosed. Compositions and methods are also provided for editing a nucleotide sequence in the genome of a cell, without incorporating a selectable transgene marker.

Abstract: Techniques are described for controlling a sensing state of a device. In an example, a controller of the device receives, at a first time, first input data indicating a first request to disable a sensor of the device. The controller causes the sensor to be disabled and stores first data indicating that the sensor is disabled. The device can also include a processor. The controller sends, to the processor, first output data that causes the processor to read the first data from the controller. At a second time, the controller receives second input data indicating a second request for an operation of the device. The controller stores second data associated with the second request and sends, to the processor, second output data that causes the processor to read the second data from the controller.
