Abstract: This disclosure describes a system, method, and non-transitory computer readable media for an ultrasound probe configured to capture ultrasound images of an examination region. The system includes a first set of one or more sensors coupled to the ultrasound probe and configured to estimate a first positional information associated with the ultrasound probe. The system includes a second set of one or more sensors coupled to the ultrasound probe and configured to capture electromagnetic force (EMF) measurements in the examination region to estimate a second positional information associated with the ultrasound probe. The second positional information is used to calibrate the first set of one or more sensors. The system includes a controller configured to use at least one of (i) the first positional information, or (ii) the second positional information to generate a reconstruction of the examination region based on ultrasound images captured by the ultrasound probe.

Abstract: Methods and systems for delivering biological materials such as nucleic acids and/or proteins to the interior of a plant cell are provided. Such methods and systems include those where biological material is non-covalently complexed with a magnetic particle and accelerated multiple times toward a plant cell.

Abstract: Provided herein is a method of delivering a biological material, including a genome-editing agent, to the interior of a plant cell wherein the method includes contacting the plant cell with a complex comprising the biological material and a fluorous agent. Also provided herein are compositions and reagents for practicing the method.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to base-editing systems including a fusion protein including a DNA-binding domain and a cytidine deaminase domain and a non-protein uracil-DNA glycosylase inhibitor, and methods of using the same. The DNA-binding domains of base-editing systems of the present disclosure include domains with a variety of target region possibilities, which increase the number and type of sequences that can be edited. The npUGIs of the base-editing systems of the present disclosure improve UDG inhibition (e.g., UDG inhibition is more complete) and are suitable for use in a wide range of organisms.
