  • Publication number: 20230340588
    Abstract: Methods and compositions for making DNA libraries for massive parallel next generation sequencing (NGS), comprises two parts. These methods may be referred to as Triseq sequencing. The first part includes ligating a UMI adapter, amplifying the DNA fragments in the presence of dUTP, enriching the target molecules through primer extension by using a panel of both forward and reverse primers, and removing the dU-containing template DNA. The DNA molecules are organized to primary clones and subclones, labeled by the UMI on 5? and 3? end of the DNA fragments, respectively. The second part includes sequencing the DNA library by NGS, deducing consensus sequence from each subclone, and from within each primary clone, and between the consensus sequences obtained from both forward and reverse primers.

  • Patent number: 11683187
    Abstract: In embodiments, an authentication server interfaces between a user device with a self-signed certificate and a verifying computer that accepts a user name and password. The user device generates a self-signed certificate signed by a private key on the user device. The self-signed certificate is transmitted to a verifying party computer over a network. The verifying party stores the self-signed certificate with user identification data. The user migrates trust to another device by providing the root certificate and intermediate certificate as a certificate chain to a second device, which then adds a new intermediate certificate to create a longer certificate chain with the same root certificate. In subsequent communications, the verifying party receives a certificate chain including the self-signed certificate from the second user device, and matches that with the user identification data stored in a database.

  • Publication number: 20230115039
    Abstract: The disclosure provides methods for predicting surface-presenting peptides using binding and surface-presentation characteristics. The method can include accessing a trained machine-learning model that is configured to generate an output that indicates an extent to which the one or more expression levels and the one or more peptide-presentation metrics are related in accordance with a population-level relationship between expression and presentation. For each peptide of the set of peptides for a tissue sample, a score can be determined using the machine-learning model and genomic and transcriptomic data corresponding to the peptide. The score is predictive of whether a corresponding peptide is a surface-presenting peptide that binds to an MHC molecule and is presented on a cell surface.
