  • Patent number: 12577526
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods for combinatorial assessment of nanoscale droplets, as specifically exemplified by massively parallel assessment of spatially-directed (while agnostic as to precise droplet content) combinations of droplets harboring distinct and independently identifiable microbial types and/or chemical compounds or mixtures. More particularly, the disclosure relates to a platform and methodologies for identifying advantageous (including synergistic, additive, etc.) microbial interactions and/or chemical compound or mixture interactions with microbes in a manner that allows for binary, trinary, etc. combinatorial assessments to be performed across a range of many discrete input types of microbes (e.g., 6-16 or more discrete input microbial types), to an extent capable of approaching comprehensive sampling and measurement of microbial community combinations from a selected panel of microbial inputs, optionally also in the presence of chemical compounds or mixtures (e.

  • Publication number: 20220073987
    Abstract: RNA targeting proteins are utilized to provide a robust massively multiplexed CRISPR-based diagnostic by detection in droplets with attomolar sensitivity. Detection of both DNA and RNA with comparable levels of sensitivity at nanoliter volumes can differentiate targets from non-targets based on single base pair differences, with applications in multiple scenarios in human health including, for example, viral detection, bacterial strain typing, and sensitive genotyping.
