  • Publication number: 20240132882
    Abstract: Programmable guide RNAs (gRNAs) play a central role in the CRISPR revolution sweeping biology and medicine by directing the function of a Cas protein effector to a target gene of choice. To achieve programmable control over regulatory scope, the activity of a conditional guide RNA (cgRNA) depends on the presence or absence of an RNA trigger, allowing for cell-selective regulation of CRISPR/Cas function. Unlike a standard gRNA, a cgRNA is programmable at multiple levels, with the target-binding sequence controlling the target of Cas activity (edit, silence, induce, or bind a gene of choice) and the triggerbinding sequence controlling the scope of Cas activity. cgRNA mechanisms that are allosteric allow for independent design of the target and trigger sequences, providing the flexibility to select the regulatory target and scope independently.

  • Patent number: 10657152
    Abstract: Methods and systems for generating a diagram from structured data and synchronizing modifications between the diagram and the structured data. One system includes at least one processor configured to receive a plurality of transformation settings for the structured data and generate and store a plurality of first expressions and a plurality of second expressions based on the structured data and the plurality of transformation settings. The processor is further configured to generate and organize a plurality of visual structures based on the plurality of first expressions and the plurality of second expressions and generate and output a diagram for display through a user interface including the plurality of visual structures. In addition, the processor is configured to receive a modification to the diagram through the user interface, and modify the structured data based on the modification, the plurality of first expressions, and the plurality of second expressions.
