  • Selective oxidation of 5-methylcytosine by TET-family proteins
    Patent number: 12018320
    Abstract: The present invention provides for novel methods for regulating and detecting the cytosine methylation status of DNA. The invention is based upon identification of a novel and surprising catalytic activity for the family of TET proteins, namely TET1, TET2, TET3, and CXXC4. The novel activity is related to the enzymes being capable of converting the cytosine nucleotide 5-methylcytosine into 5-hydroxymethylcytosine by hydroxylation.

  • System and method for serving multiple customers by a live agent
    Patent number: 12022026
    Abstract: A system and method for allowing a single live customer service agent to simultaneously serve multiple customers. According to various embodiments, a virtual agent operates at the front end to receive and attempt to handle customer issues. The virtual agent employs speech recognition and intent mapping in order to generate a proposed response that attempts to identify and resolve customer issues. In some scenarios, the proposed response includes both a response message and a response action to be taken. A chat history and the proposed response is then provided to the live agent. The live agent reviews the information provided, and determines whether the proposed response is appropriate. The live agent then approves the response or revises or replaces the response. The final response is sent back to the virtual agent for processing and providing to the customer.
