  • Publication number: 20240124867
    Abstract: The disclosure provides methods and related kits, reagents, and systems for selectively deaminating unmethylated cytosine residues in nucleic acid molecules. In some embodiments, the methods and related kits, reagents, and systems are applied for methods of detecting and/or mapping methylated cytosine residues in nucleic acids. The nucleic can be RNA or DNA. Some embodiments include contacting the polynucleic acid with a bacterial cytosine deaminase, for example DddA or SsdA, or functional fragments or derivatives thereof. Representative DddA and SsdA have sequences set forth in SEQ ID NOS:1 and 2, respectively. The bacterial cytosine deaminases of the disclosure are sensitive to methylation and, thus, deaminate only unmethylated cytosines to provide a cytosine to uracil conversion. The conversion can be detected as a C•G-to-T•A transitions in subsequent sequencing analysis.

  • Publication number: 20240031332
    Abstract: Techniques for packet classification for network routing are disclosed. In some embodiments, packet classification for network routing includes receiving packets associated with a new flow at a security controller from a network device, in which the network device performs packet forwarding; classifying the flow; and determining an action for the flow based on a policy (e.g., a security policy). In some embodiments, the network device is a Software Defined Network (SDN) network device (e.g., a packet forwarding device that supports the OpenFlow protocol or another protocol).

  • Patent number: 7634732
    Abstract: Methods and systems provide for aggregating person-centric data from one or more data sources and for providing the aggregated data to a user via a computer-displayed user interface that is keyed on or otherwise associated with an identified name in electronically presented text or data. A name in the text or data of an electronic document is identified and is associated with a unique identification, such as an electronic mail address. The unique identification is used by a persona menu application to obtain person-centric data from a variety of data sources. Example data sources include electronic mail contact files, electronic mail and calendaring system free/busy status files, directories of person-centric data related to persons associated with a distributed computing network, and instant messaging files. A data structure is populated with the returned data.

  • Patent number: 5368111
    Abstract: A directional drilling apparatus includes a two part tubular body including an upper section and a lower section adapted to rotate with respect to one another, the upper section including threads for attaching the apparatus to a drill string, the upper section including at its lower end portion a slot including a straight portion which is generally aligned with the axis of the upper section and an offset portion which is spaced laterally from an spaced radially from the vertical section, connecting teeth for forming a connection which rigidly affixes each of the upper and lower section with respect to each other so that they are prevented from rotating with respect to one another, and a sleeve carried by the lower section and slidably movable with respect to the upper section, the sleeve including a locking pin which extends into the slot, the pin being adapted to move longitudinally and laterally within at least a portion of the slot and into either the vertical or laterally offset a section thereof.
