  • Publication number: 20240148185
    Abstract: An outdoor equipment cover is configured to be utilized with outdoor equipment having a metallic component, the outdoor equipment cover includes a cover body, a magnetic fastener, and a secondary fastener. The cover body presents an outer edge disposed along a bottom side and a cover void therein configured to receive the outdoor equipment therein. The magnetic fastener and the secondary fastener are each secured to the cover body. The magnetic fastener is configured to provide a magnetic force to keep the magnetic fastener selectively secured to the metallic component of the outdoor equipment so as to keep the cover body in place around the outdoor equipment therein. The secondary fastener is configured to reduce a cross-sectional area of the cover void so as to prevent the outdoor equipment cover from being removed from the outdoor equipment while the secondary fastener is emplaced.

  • Publication number: 20230253070
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and compositions useful for determining cellular pathway disruption comprising the use of RNA expression level information. This determined level of disruption can assist in the identification of genetic variants that alter pathway activity, to correlate these variants with disease state and disease progression, and to identify those therapeutics most likely to be effective and which should be avoided.

  • Publication number: 20230196339
    Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating virtual space instance access. Exemplary implementations may: obtain, in an ongoing manner, state space information defining a present state of a virtual space instance; facilitate presentation of a view of the virtual space instance to users through graphical user interfaces; obtain one or more consideration provision channels associated with one or more of the users; monitor the state space information for circumstances in the virtual space instance that satisfy circumstantial triggers of consideration stream trigger definitions associated with the objects; responsive to detection of circumstances in the virtual space instance that satisfy the circumstantial triggers, automatically initiate one or more streams of consideration amounts from one or more consideration provision channels to one or more consideration reception channels.

  • Publication number: 20230144221
    Abstract: The disclosure provides methods and systems for detecting alternative splicing variants in a patient sample. The methods involve comparison of splice junction data from RNA sequencing with principal splicing isoforms and identifying those sequences, identifying those sequences that do not match the principal splicing isoform. These sequences are categorized into alternative splicing events and documented. Optionally, previously identified target sequences can be utilized in the comparison where the method seeks sequences which do match. Other methods and systems of the present disclosure include those for building a splice profile of alternative splicing variants for a patient sample and those for developing a companion diagnostic test for a treatment method of a disease based on the presence or absence of alternative splicing variants in a patient sample.

  • Publication number: 20210272649
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for performing quality control analysis. The method obtains, in electronic form, a batch dataset comprising, for each respective sample in a batch of samples, a corresponding plurality of sequence reads derived from the respective sample by targeted or whole transcriptome RNA sequencing and corresponding metadata for the respective sample. The method determines for the batch dataset a cohort-matched reference batch, where the cohort-matched reference batch is balanced for tissue site, tumor purity, cancer type, sequencer identity, or date sequenced. The method performs one or more global batch quality control tests on the batch dataset using at least the cohort-matched reference batch. The method removes respective samples from the batch dataset that fail any one of the one or more global batch quality control tests or flagging for manual inspection respective samples that fail any one of the one or more global batch quality control tests.
