  • Patent number: 11972469
    Abstract: A system for categorizing, visualizing, and recommending Cannabis products based on objective data of the chemical composition of products is described. This system allows Cannabis products to be visualized and compared based on their chemical composition, even by laypeople with little or no knowledge of the underlying objective data. A recommendation system is built upon this which can recommend products for consumption, including a user interface for receiving user input, which includes at least one of demographic data, desired level of psychoactivity, or prior experience with the product, a merchant interface for receiving merchant input, including at least one of general data descriptive of the regulated product, lab data descriptive of the regulated products chemical composition, and user data descriptive of subjective effects of the regulated product on a user; and a decision engine making a recommendation of product according to correlation of the lab data with the user data.

  • Patent number: 10877036
    Abstract: Resonance energy transfer (RET)- or protein-fragment complement assay (PCA)-based biosensors useful for assessing the activity of G-proteins are described. These biosensors are based on the competition between the G? subunit and a G?? interacting protein (?? IP) for the binding to the G?? dimer. These biosensors comprises (1) a ?? IP and (2) a G? or G? protein; a GPCR; or a plasma membrane targeting domain, fused to suitable RET or PCA tags. Methods using such biosensors for different applications, including the identification of agents that modulates G-protein activity or for the characterization of GPCR signaling/regulation, such as G-protein preferences and activation profiles of GPCRs, are also described.

  • Publication number: 20200256869
    Abstract: Systems and methods for the monitoring of G protein activation at various cell compartments, such as the plasma membrane and the endosomes, and in a G? protein subunit family-selective manner are described. These systems and methods also allows the monitoring of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR)-mediated as well as non-receptor guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF)-mediated G protein activation, and are based on the use of the G protein-binding domains of specific effectors of G proteins and cellular compartment markers, tagged with suitable energy (BRET) donors and acceptors.

  • Publication number: 20200157184
    Abstract: Bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) biosensors for assessing the intracellular localization, internalization and trafficking into cellular compartments of proteins such as receptors, and other biomolecules such as second messengers, are disclosed. These biosensors, which are dependent on the concentration/density of the BRET donor and acceptor in cellular compartments rather that specific protein-protein interactions, use a Renilla GFP/Luc BRET pair, which allows the robust and reproducible monitoring of protein trafficking/localization, with a sensitivity compatible with high-throughput screening (HTS). The use of these biosensors for various applications, including assessing/monitoring protein endocytosis, recycling and intracellular trafficking, receptor maturation/rescue by pharmacological chaperones, various endocytosis/exocytosis processes, activation/inhibition, as well as biomolecule concentration/density in different cellular compartments, is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20200105371
    Abstract: Provided herein is a method for identifying a sequence variant in an enriched sample. In certain embodiments, this method may comprise: (a) obtaining: (i) a plurality of sequence reads from a sample that has been enriched for a genomic region and (ii) a reference sequence for the genomic region; (b) assembling the sequence reads to obtain a plurality of discrete sequence assemblies that correspond to potential variants; (c) determining which of the potential variants are true and which are artifacts by examining the sequence reads that make up each of the discrete sequence assemblies; (d) optionally determining whether each of the true potential variants contains a mutation that is known to be associated with the reference sequence; and (e) outputting a report indicating whether the sample comprises a sequence variant.
