  • Patent number: 11942220
    Abstract: A method of processing a series of images of an embryo to determine estimated timings of developmental events for the embryo, wherein the method comprises: determining feature information for each image, the feature information for each image representing the content of the image; establishing machine learned classifiers for associating each image with a respective likelihood of the image being associated with one or more developmental events based on the feature information for the image; applying the machine learned classifiers to the feature information for each image to determine a respective likelihood of the image being associated with one or more developmental events, and determining estimated timings for the plurality of developmental events for the embryo from the respective likelihoods of the respective images being associated with respective ones of the plurality of developmental events. The method may further comprise determining an indication of a confidence estimate for the timings.

  • Publication number: 20210032670
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a lysate used for cell-fee protein biosynthesis, comprising the following steps: a) a genomic sequence in an organism, which codes for an essential translation product that reduces the yield of cell-fee protein biosynthesis, is replaced by the foreign DNA located under a suitable regulatory element, said foreign DNA coding for the essential translation product that additionally contains a marker sequence; b) the organism cloned according to step a) is cultivated; c) the organisms from the culture obtained in step b) are lysed; and d) the essential translation product is eliminated by means of a separation process that is selective for the marker sequence. Also discussed are said lysate and the use thereof.

  • Patent number: 8828670
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing monomeric or dimeric proteins or peptides containing internal or external disulfide bonds, comprising the following steps: a) a cell-free lysate, obtainable from eukaryotic cells, is provided, which contains functional microsomal vesicles, b) a nucleic acid coding the protein or peptide and additionally containing a signal sequence is added to the lysate, c) the lysate with the nucleic acid is held for a given time at a temperature in the range from 20 to 35° C., proteins or peptides formed with the nucleic acid being translocated into the microsomal vesicles, d) the microsomal vesicles are then dissolved, and the proteins or peptides obtained thereby are optionally separated from the lysate.
