Abstract: Methods and systems for identifying and/or treating urinary disorders are provided. The methods and systems generally operate by obtaining a urine sample from a subject, identifying (such as by using nucleic acid sequencing) an abundance of a first set of one or more microbes (such as one or more bacteria or viruses) in the urine sample, and determining whether the subject suffers from a urinary disorder based on the abundance of the first set of one or more microbes. In some cases, the methods and systems further operate by identifying a second set of microbes to supplement a microbiome in the urinary tract of the subject. In some instances, the methods and systems further operate by treating the urinary disorder using the second set of microbes. In some instances a preservation solution is utilized.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods of determining a location of a target analyte in a non-permeabilized biological sample and methods of reducing background binding of an analyte on an array.

Abstract: Disclosed herein, inter alia, are silicon containing detectable compounds and methods of use thereof. In an aspect is provided a monovalent nucleotide or monovalent nucleoside covalently bound to a monovalent form of a compound described herein (e.g., wherein the R13 moiety of a compound described herein has reacted with a bioconjugate reactive group to form a bioconjugate linker thereby covalently bonding the monovalent compound to the monovalent nucleotide or monovalent nucleoside).

Abstract: Disclosed herein, inter alia, are compositions and methods of use thereof for interrogating a sample comprising a cell.

Abstract: The invention provides systems and methods for determining patterns of modification to a genome of a subject by representing the genome using a graph, such as a directed acyclic graph (DAG) with divergent paths for regions that are potentially subject to modification, profiling segments of the genome for evidence of epigenetic modification, and aligning the profiled segments to the DAG to determine locations and patterns of the epigenetic modification within the genome.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods for capturing an analyte from a first region of interest of a biological sample on a substrate, where the biological sample comprises the first region of interest and a second region, and where the method includes contacting the second region with a sealant in order to create a hydrophobic seal thereby preventing an interaction between an analyte from the second region with a capture domain of a capture probe.

Abstract: The present disclosure in some aspects relates to methods and compositions for accurately detecting and quantifying multiple analytes present in a biological sample. In some aspects, the methods and compositions provided herein address issues associated with the heterogeneity of analyte abundance (e.g., gene expression levels) and variations among reactions at different locations of a sample (e.g., amplification reaction starting earlier at one location than another location). In some aspects, a method disclosed herein provides a tighter distribution of signal spot size and intensity in a sample, as compared to methods that result in a wide and heterogeneous size and intensity distribution of signal spots.

Abstract: Disclosed herein, inter alia, are fluorescent compounds and methods of making and using thereof.

Abstract: Contemplated systems and methods employ chimeric reference sequences that include a plurality of viral genome sequences to identify/quantify integration and co-amplification events. Most typically, the viral genome sequences are organized in the chimeric reference sequences as single chromosomes and the chimeric reference sequences are in BAM format.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to compositions and methods for three-dimensional spatial profiling of analytes in a biological sample.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to materials and methods for spatially analyzing nucleic acids that have been fragmented with a transposase enzyme, alone or in combination with other types of analytes.

Abstract: The technology relates in part to methods and compositions for detecting oncogenic structural variants.

Abstract: The present invention provides MMLV reverse transcriptase enzymes with increased thermal stability as compared with wild type MMLV and AMV reverse transcriptases. The improved thermal stability allows for reverse transcription of RNA to cDNA at temperatures above 37° C., thereby reducing error rates introduced during cDNA synthesis. As a result, the reverse transcriptases of the invention allow for increased accuracy in the determination of transcriptomes of living organisms.

Abstract: The technology relates in part to methods of selecting for and/or treating subjects having cancer, where the subjects are identified as having at least one genetic structural variant that renders them suitable candidates for a treatment method that includes the administration of at least one inhibitor of a PD-1 pathway and/or an inhibitor of the interaction of the PD-1 receptor with PD-L1 and/or PD-L2.

Abstract: Random arrays of single molecules are provided for carrying out large scale analyzes, particularly of biomolecules, such as genomic DNA, cDNAs, proteins, and the like. In one aspect, arrays of the invention comprise concatemers of DNA fragments that are randomly disposed on a regular array of discrete spaced apart regions, such that substantially all such regions contain no more than a single concatemer. Preferably, such regions have areas substantially less than 1 ?m2 and have nearest neighbor distances that permit optical resolution of on the order of 109 single molecules per cm2. Many analytical chemistries can be applied to random arrays of the invention, including sequencing by hybridization chemistries, sequencing by synthesis chemistries, SNP detection chemistries, and the like, to greatly expand the scale and potential applications of such techniques.

Abstract: Cancer immunology provides promising new avenues for cancer treatment but validation of potential neoantigens to target is costly and expensive. Analysis of MHC binding affinity, antigen processing, similarity to known antigens, predicted expression levels (as mRNA or proteins), self-similarity, and mutant allele frequency, provides screening method to identify and prioritize candidate neoantigens using sequencing data. Methods of the invention thereby save time and money by identifying the priority candidate neoantigens for further experimental validation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a combination therapy of an inhibitor of the Bel-2 family of proteins selected from navitoclax, venetoclax, A-1331852, AZD5991, or A-1155463, together with an aurora kinase inhibitor for use in a method of treatment of a cancer selected from breast, ovarian, pancreatic, or prostate cancer in a patient.

Abstract: The invention provides methods for identifying rare variants near a structural variation in a genetic sequence, for example, in a nucleic acid sample taken from a subject. The invention additionally includes methods for aligning reads (e.g., nucleic acid reads) to a reference sequence construct accounting for the structural variation, methods for building a reference sequence construct accounting for the structural variation or the structural variation and the rare variant, and systems that use the alignment methods to identify rare variants. The method is scalable, and can be used to align millions of reads to a construct thousands of bases long, or longer.
