  • Publication number: 20250016113
    Abstract: A server computer system, comprises a processor; a communications module coupled to the processor; and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions that, when executed, configure the processor to obtain resource availability data for resources maintained by a resource provider; receive, via the communications module and from a third party server computer system, session data that includes a request to perform an operation; determine, based on the session data, that the resources are transferable to perform the operation; and responsive to determining that the resources are transferable to perform the operation, update a graphical user interface displayed on a client device to indicate that the resources are transferable to perform the operation.

  • Publication number: 20230167426
    Abstract: The present invention is related to the field of CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing platforms. In particular, the present invention has identified Type II-C Cas9 anti-CRISPR (Acr) inhibitors that control Cas9 gene editing activity. Co-administration of such Acr inhibitors may provide an advantageous adjunct in permitting safe and practical biological therapeutics through spatial or temporal control of Cas9 activity; controlling Cas9-based gene drives in wild populations to reduce the ecological consequences of such forced inheritance schemes; and contributing to general research into various biotechnological, agricultural, and medical applications of gene editing technologies.
