Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of spatially barcoding a given location on a substrate, and further to spatially barcoding detection probes present in a sample such as a biological tissue specimen for the purposes of analysing molecular features present in the tissue. Such analysis may include: i) the spatial expression of one or more biological molecules, specifically; ii) the spatial analysis of the transcriptome and/or iii) the spatial analysis of the proteome, including post-translational protein modifications. The invention further relates to various component products for performing such methods that include reagents kits, instrumentation and software.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for targeted cell retrieval, comprising: providing a population of barcoded cells, said population comprising a plurality of different barcodes, each of the plurality of different barcodes being uniquely targetable with a target-specific CRISPR RNA; introducing a CRISPR-Cas system, or one or more vectors encoding the components of the CRISPR-Cas system, into the population of barcoded cells said CRISPR-Cas system having a target-specific CRISPR RNA that targets a first barcode of said plurality of different barcodes, thereby causing a CRISPR-Cas system-mediated change at a target site leading to a change in one or more detectable properties of at least one cell carrying said first barcode; and retrieving said at least one cell carrying said first barcode based on the change in said one or more detectable properties. Also provided are products and kits for use in the method of the invention.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for attenuating gene expression in a cell using gene-targeted double stranded RNA (dsRNA). The dsRNA contains a nucleotide sequence that hybridizes under physiologic conditions of the cell to the nucleotide sequence of at least a portion of the gene to be inhibited (the “target” gene).

Abstract: This invention provides barcoded shRNA libraries and methods of using same.

Abstract: The application relates to methods and compositions for the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of tumors and cancers in mammals, for example, humans, utilizing the mir17-92 cluster. The application further relates to screening methods to identify compounds and reagents useful in cancer diagnosis, prevention, and therapy.

Abstract: The invention relates to recombinant vectors for inducible and/or tissue specific expression of double-stranded RNA molecules that interfere with the expression of a target gene. In certain embodiments, the invention relates to the use of Tet (tetracycline)-responsive RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) promoters (e.g., TetON or TetOFF) to direct inducible knockdown in certain cells of an integrated or an endogenous gene, such as p53. The invention also relates to a method for producing transgenic animals (e.g., mice) expressing inducible (such as tetracycline-regulated), reversible, and/or tissue-specific double-stranded RNA molecules that interfere with the expression of a target gene.

Abstract: Liquidproof seams are formed between laminates, most preferably those having a complex textile structure on the sealing side of the laminate, where at least a portion of the complex textile in the sealing region is removed, such as by skiving, to reduce the thickness in the seam, or sealing region, prior to the creation of a durably sealed liquidproof seam.

Abstract: This invention provides methods and compositions related to Argonaute proteins and, in certain embodiments, the applications of these methods and compositions to treatment and therapeutics based on RNAi.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for attenuating gene expression in a cell, especially in a mammalian cell, using gene-targeted double stranded RNA (dsRNA), such as a hairpin RNA. The dsRNA contains a nucleotide sequence that hybridizes under physiologic conditions of the cell to the nucleotide sequence of at least a portion of the gene to be inhibited (the “target” gene).

Abstract: The invention provides, among other things, regulated polymerase III expression systems and related compositions. The invention provides, in part, expression systems in which the expression is inducible, and systems which express inhibitory RNA molecules, such as hairpin RNA molecules. The invention also provides related methods, such as methods of inhibiting expression of a gene.

Abstract: A three dimensional porous elastomeric polymeric material is described that has a morphology primarily of polymeric fibers fused randomly along portions of their length, with a cross-section of a network of irregular polymeric areas that are interconnected to define interconnected voids; where the bulk density of the material is at least 0.35 grams/cc. The material is useful in garment and other protective covering applications where it can be adhered to various substrates to provide improved abrasion resistance. Composites of the material are described also.
