Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques to improve the sequencing of polynucleotides by decreasing the likelihood of errors occurring during a sequencing calibration process. In implementations, regions of polynucleotides that are used for the calibration process can be modified to reduce a number of polynucleotides that have a same nucleotide at one or more positions of the calibration regions. In some cases, the calibration regions can be modified by adding a sequence to the polynucleotides that replaces the original calibration regions. Also, the calibration regions can be modified by rearranging the nucleotides at the different positions of the calibration regions. Additionally, the calibration regions can be modified by adding sequences of varying length to the polynucleotides being sequenced to produce polynucleotides having varying length with different calibration regions.

Abstract: A braceable run-flat insert for a vehicle wheel has subelements forming a circular ring. The subelements are connected in an articulated manner or braced by a clamping system. To prevent the ingress of dirt, the cross section of the subelements forms a T shape on the tire side. The crossbar of the T is a running surface for the tire when there is a tire defect. The cross section of the subelements form an approximate T shape on the rim side. Two lateral end points fit on the rim base and rest on the latter in the fitted state. The tire-side T and the rim-side T are connected by a radially running web. The lateral end points of the crossbar of the rim-side T-shaped configuration can be displaced toward one another against a restoring force by an elastic subregion between the two end points of the crossbar.

Abstract: In some embodiments, systems and methods for storing and/or retrieving digital information in a nucleic acid library are provided. In some embodiments, an integrated system comprising a nucleic acid synthesis device, a nucleic acid sequencing device, a computing device, and a nucleic acid library is provided. In some embodiments, a write request that associates a value with a key is received by the system, the system synthesizes nucleic acid molecules associated with the request, and stores the nucleic acid molecules in the nucleic acid library. In some embodiments, a read request for a key is received by the system, and the system sequences nucleic acid molecules from the nucleic acid library that are associated with the key.

Abstract: A detection probe for detecting single base mutations or alterations in a double stranded target nucleic acid molecule is provided. In some aspects, the detection probe may include a double-stranded probe nucleic acid molecule having a first end and a second end; at least one probe initiation toehold at the first end; at least one substance capable of emitting a detectable signal at the second end; and optionally, at least one dissociation toehold at the second end. The detection probe is designed to hybridize with a double stranded target nucleic acid in a reaction which proceeds at approximate thermodynamic equilibrium (?G?0) when no single base mutations or alterations are present in the double stranded target nucleic acid molecule. The probe may be used in detection systems and methods to identifying the presence or absence of one or more single base mutations or alterations in a double-stranded nucleic acid target molecule.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a strand displacement system is provided. Such a system may include a first nucleic acid catalyst molecule; a nucleic acid gate molecule, wherein the first nucleic acid catalyst molecule binds the nucleic acid gate molecule forming a nucleic acid gate-catalyst complex and releases an output molecule; and a nucleic acid sink molecule. The nucleic acid sink molecule sequesters a putative second nucleic acid catalyst, wherein the second nucleic acid catalyst differs from the first nucleic acid catalyst molecule by at least one nucleotide. In some aspects, the first nucleic acid catalyst may include a biomarker of interest or a nucleic acid aptamer which binds an amino acid-based biomarker of interest.
