Abstract: The present invention relates to innovative means of generating sequence-linked DNA fragments and subsequent uses of such linked DNA fragments for de novo haplotype-resolved whole genome mapping and massively parallel sequencing. In various embodiments described herein, the methods of the invention relate to methods of generating paired-end nucleic acid fragment sharing common linker nucleic acid sequences using a nicking endonuclease, a T7 endonuclease, a restriction enzyme, or a transposase, methods of analyzing the nucleotides sequences from the linked-paired-end sequenced fragments, and methods of de novo whole genome mapping. Thus, the methods of this invention allow establishing sequence contiguity across the whole genome, and achieving high-quality, low-cost de novo assembly of complex genomes.

Abstract: Various embodiments include a conversation engine for facilitating a conversation between member accounts (e.g., personal accounts) and social network entities (e.g., corporate accounts) in a social networking system. The conversation engine can enable interactions between a member account and a social network entity via a messaging application when an end-user device associated with the member account is in proximity to a physical establishment associated with the social network entity. The end-user device can scan for available access points and determine its location based on the wireless source identifier(s) of the available access points. The end-user device and/or the social networking system can compare the wireless source identifier(s) to a set of known wireless source identifiers to determine the end-user device's location. Messages can be generated by the conversation engine that include content that is generated based at least in part on the location of the end-user device.
