  • Publication number: 20220205983
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to imaging cells, for example, to determine phenotypes and/or genotypes in populations of cells, e.g., to build genotype-phenotype corresponse for high-throughput screening. In some cases, the cells may be manipulated, e.g., using CRISPR or other techniques. In certain embodiments, nucleic acids may be introduced to the cell, e.g., using a lentivirus. The nucleic acids may contain a guide portion comprising a DNA or RNA recognition sequence, a reporter portion, and an identification portion comprising one or more read sequences. The guide portion may be used to alter the phenotype of the cells, e.g., using a sequence, e.g., an sgRNA sequence, that can be targeted using CRISPR or other techniques, and in some cases, the phenotype of the cells may be determined using various imaging approaches. The identification portion may be determined using MERFISH or other suitable techniques.

  • Publication number: 20210383218
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for determining a control policy for an agent interacting with an environment. One of the methods includes updating the control policy using policy-consistent backups using Q learning. To determine a policy-consistent backup, the system determining a policy-consistent backup for the control policy at the current observation—current action pair, comprising: for each of a plurality of actions in a set of possible actions that can be performed by the agent, identifying Q values assigned by the control policy to next observation—action pairs by the control policy and justified by at least one of the information sets; pruning, from the identified Q values, any Q values that are justified only by information sets that are not policy-class consistent; and determining, from the reward and only the identified Q values that were not pruned, the policy-consistent backup.
