Abstract: Described herein are compositions and methods for identifying, selecting, or culturing cells comprising a subject nucleic acid sequence of interest. Generally, a nucleic acid comprising a subject nucleic acid and a sequence encoding an enzyme molecule involved in biosynthesis of an amino acid is introduced into a cell. The cell is then grown on media lacking the amino acid, such that cells comprising the introduced nucleic acid are capable of growth. In some instances, the cell further comprises an inhibitor of the enzyme molecule to increase the stringency of the selection.

Abstract: A computer implemented method includes generating a first cryptographic hash based on at least one setting associated with an operating system at a first time, storing the first cryptographic hash as a first bit string, generating a second cryptographic hash as a second bit string, wherein the second cryptographic hash is based on the at least one setting associated with the operating system at a second time, determining that a setting associated with the operating system has changed and that the setting change was made outside of the operating system based on a comparison of the first and second bit strings, and if the setting change was made outside of the operating system, setting the setting to a default value.
