  • Publication number: 20250123842
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for a multi-layer cache to prevent user experience interrupts during feature flag management. A service provider may provide applications to computing devices of users including mobile applications. Use and availability of features in an application may be configured using feature flags, however, change of these feature flags may initiate an application refresh that affects user experiences with the application. To prevent interruptions, a multi-layer data cache may be used where feature flag data for the feature flags may initially be loaded, after a time period, to a first layer cache that is not used to update the application. When conditions exist for updating the application without affecting the user experience, such as if the user is no longer using a workflow, the feature flag data may be loaded to a second layer cache. The second layer cache may then be used for updating.

    Abstract: In one aspect, the invention provides universal multi-color mapping strategy in nanochannels combining conventional sequence-motif labeling system with Cas9 mediated target-specific labeling of any 20-base sequences (20mers) to create custom labels and detect new features. The sequence-motifs are labeled with green fluorophores and the 20mers are labeled with red fluorophores. Using this strategy, it is not only possible to detect the (structural variants) SVs but it is also possible to utilize custom labels to interrogate the features not accessible to motif-labeling, locate breakpoints and precisely estimate copy numbers of genomic repeats. In another aspect, the invention provides CRISPR-Cas9 enabled whole-genome sequencing.
