  • Publication number: 20240327823
    Abstract: Understanding the complex effects of genetic perturbations on cellular state and fitness in human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) has been challenging using traditional pooled screening techniques which typically rely on unidimensional phenotypic readouts. Here, Applicants use barcoded open reading frame (ORF) overexpression libraries with a coupled single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and fitness screening approach, a technique we call SEUSS (ScalablE fUnctional Screening by Sequencing), to establish a comprehensive assaying platform. Using this system, Applicants perturbed hPSCs with a library of developmentally critical transcription factors (TFs), and assayed the impact of TF overexpression on fitness and transcriptomic cell state across multiple media conditions. Applicants further leveraged the versatility of the ORF library approach to systematically assay mutant gene libraries and also whole gene families.

  • Publication number: 20240319000
    Abstract: Techniques are described for determining weight distribution of a vehicle. A method of performing autonomous driving operation includes determining a vehicle weight distribution that values for each axle of the vehicle that describe weight or pressure applied on a respective axle. The values of the vehicle weight distribution are determined by removing at least one value that is outside a range of pre-determined values from a set of sensor values. The method further includes determining a driving-related operation of the vehicle weight distribution. For example, the driving-related operation may include determining a braking amount for each axle and/or determining a maximum steering angle to operate the vehicle. The method further includes controlling one or more subsystems in the vehicle via an instruction related to the driving-related operation. For example, transmitting the instruction to the one or more subsystems causes the vehicle to perform the driving-related operation.
