  • Publication number: 20240263227
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods to barcode nucleic acid for detection and sequencing. It applies a barcode template in a compartment with various targets, including nucleic acid fragments, nuclei and/or cells. After clonal amplification within the compartment, barcode sequence will integrate into its targets before the compartment is broken so that it will effectively barcode nucleic acid fragments originated from a nucleic acid fragment, a nucleus or a cell clonally. The barcode information can be used for tracking the origin of the fragment, nucleus or cell and be used for haplotype phasing and a variety of single cell-based applications including whole genome sequencing, targeted sequencing, RNA sequencing and immune repertoire sequencing.

  • Patent number: 11679804
    Abstract: A limiting system for constraining a commanded steering angle for a vehicle including an electric power steering (EPS) system includes a controller in electronic communication with at least one other system of the vehicle. The controller executes instructions to receive a plurality of trajectory planning inputs that are each expressed as an array including a plurality of values, where the plurality of trajectory planning inputs includes a trajectory velocity array, a trajectory acceleration array, and a trajectory curvature array. The controller also executes instructions to determine a maximum rate of steering angle change based on the corresponding ideal rate of change of the commanded steering angle and the maximum rate change allowed by the EPS system.

  • Publication number: 20230151355
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods for high throughput barcoding nucleic acids and/or protein inside the cells. The in-cell single cell capture method uses an individual cell itself as a compartment and delivers a plurality of unique identifiers, e.g. barcodes into the cell and captures the nucleic acid and/or protein targets within the cell directly. It significantly simplifies single cell analysis experimental setup and eliminates the need of external compartment generation. It provides a high throughput single cell expression profiling and cellular protein quantitation method. Targeted sequencing with in-cell capture will be able to significantly increase sensitivity and specificity for low frequent mutation detection, such as, somatic mutation in very early stage of cancer and truly enables early cancer detection.

A spatial expression and/or variation detection method for a tissue sample is developed with the combination of the in-cell barcoding method and positional barcode on a planar array.
