  • Patent number: 10041115
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to 3?-OH unblocked nucleotides and nucleosides labeled and unlabeled with 5-methoxy-substituted nitrobenzyl-based photocleavable terminating groups for use in methods and systems related to DNA and RNA sequencing and analysis. These compounds may be used as reversible terminators as they exhibit fast nucleotide incorporation kinetics, single-base termination, high nucleotide selectivity, and rapid terminating group cleavage that results in a naturally occurring nucleotide.

  • Publication number: 20180137321
    Abstract: The invention provides a method and system for decoding two-dimensional code using weighted average gray-scale algorithm. The method comprises: segmenting a received two-dimensional code image into bit regions each containing one bit data; presetting a shifting threshold, and shifting four original boundary lines of the bit region outwards by a distance of the shifting threshold to obtain four preset boundary lines; calculating an average gray-scale value of the bit region using the weighted average algorithm by taking an overlapping area between pixels inside the four preset boundary lines and the bit region as a weight; binarizing the two-dimensional code image according to the average gray-scale value of the bit region; and decoding the two-dimensional code image. The influence of the pixels which have an overlapping area with the bit region on the average gray-scale value of the bit region is considered, and the decoding accuracy and success rate are high.

  • Publication number: 20170052175
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods of using photocleavable labels for multiplex and serial antigen detection. The methods comprise detecting the presence of photocleavable labels, which are conjugated through functional linkers to antigen-binding complexes, which in turn non-covalently bind to antigens. The presence of a photocleavable label is indicative of the presence of an antigen specifically or selectively bound by an antigen-binding complex. Also provided are apparatuses for using photocleavable labels for multiplex and serial antigen detection.
