  • Patent number: 11455459
    Abstract: A collaborative authoring application provides an authoring environment in which two or more users can edit a document concurrently. Each user edits a copy of the document, sends updates to a master copy of the document, and receives updates from the master copy of the document. The authoring environment generally inhibits the users from providing conflicting editing instructions to the master copy of the document. For example, each user can generate a content lock about one or more data units within the document. The authoring environment may synchronize content locks automatically and content only at the request of the user.

  • Patent number: 11226475
    Abstract: The disclosure provides for structured illumination microscopy (SIM) imaging systems. In one set of implementations, a SIM imaging system may be implemented as a multi-arm SIM imaging system, whereby each arm of the system includes a light emitter and a beam splitter (e.g., a transmissive diffraction grating) having a specific, fixed orientation with respect to the system's optical axis. In a second set of implementations, a SIM imaging system may be implemented as a multiple beam splitter slide SIM imaging system, where one linear motion stage is mounted with multiple beam splitters having a corresponding, fixed orientation with respect to the system's optical axis. In a third set of implementations, a SIM imaging system may be implemented as a pattern angle spatial selection SIM imaging system, whereby a fixed two-dimensional diffraction grating is used in combination with a spatial filter wheel to project one-dimensional fringe patterns on a sample.

  • Publication number: 20210163930
    Abstract: Methods of changing transcriptional output of chromatin are described. The method includes altering interaction of the chromatin with a chromatin-associated RNA at each of a plurality of different sites of the chromatin. The chromatin-associated RNA at each different site interacts with the chromatin at that site and regulates transcription and/or post-transcriptional modification of a transcript encoded by a transcribed region of the chromatin. Altering the interaction of the chromatin with the chromatin-associated RNA causes a change in level of transcription and/or post-transcriptional modification of a transcript encoded by the transcribed region. Compositions and kits for changing transcriptional output of chromatin are also described.
