  • Patent number: 10894959
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for the generation of highly accurate nucleic acid libraries encoding for predetermined variants of a nucleic acid sequence. The nucleic acid sequence may encode for all or part of a reference domain of a CAR. The degree of variation may be complete, resulting in a saturated variant library, or less than complete, resulting in a non-saturating library of variants. The variant nucleic acid libraries described herein may be designed for further processing by transcription or translation. The variant nucleic acid libraries described herein may be designed to generate variant RNA, DNA and/or protein populations. Further provided herein are method for identifying variant species with increased or decreased activities, with applications in regulating biological functions and the design of therapeutics for treatment or reduction of a disease, such as cancer.

  • Patent number: 10747999
    Abstract: Disclosed are devices, systems, apparatus, methods, products, and other implementations, including a method to detect pattern characteristics in target specimens that includes acquiring sensor data for the target specimens, dividing the acquired sensor data into a plurality of data segments, and generating, by multiple neural networks that each receives the plurality of data segments, multiple respective output matrices, with each data element of the multiple respective output matrices being representative of a probability that corresponding sensor data of a respective one of the plurality of data segments includes a pattern characteristic in the target specimens. The method further includes determining by another neural network, based on the multiple respective output matrices generated by the multiple neural networks, a presence of the pattern characteristic in the target specimens.
