COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR PREPARING NUCLEIC ACID NANOSTRUCTURES USING COMPACTION OLIGONUCLEOTIDES
Publication number: 20240084380Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions and related methods, e.g., for preparing immobilized nucleic acid nanostructures using compaction oligonucleotides. In some embodiments, rolling circle amplification reaction can be conducted with compaction oligonucleotides on-support or in-solution to generate concatemer molecules having multiple copies of a polynucleotide unit arranged in tandem. Each polynucleotide unit comprises a sequence-of-interest and at least one universal adaptor sequence that binds one end of a compaction oligonucleotide. The 5? and 3? regions of the compaction oligonucleotide can hybridize to the concatemer to pull together distal portions of the concatemer causing compaction of the concatemer to form a nanostructure. Nanostructures having tighter size and shape compared to concatemers generated in the absence of the compaction oligonucleotides.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 15, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Sinan ARSLAN, Michael KIM, Ramreddy TIPANNA, Chunhong ZHOU, William LIGHT, Hua YU, Junhua ZHAO, Tsung-Li LIU -
Patent number: 11923074Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for identifying those entities within a network that have the most influence on other entities within the network. A multi-relational network comprising links among a plurality of physicians is generated based on peer network data, wherein each link indicates a first physician that influences a second physician, and a weight of the influence. A decision by a treating physician of the plurality of physicians is decomposed, using a deep learning engine, into a magnitude of peer influence and a magnitude of control factor influence based on the multi-relational network and a plurality of control factors respectively. The magnitude of peer influence among one or more physicians in the multi-relational network is distributed among physicians in the multi-relational network based on the links each physician maintains with other physicians.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: IQVIA Inc.Inventors: Ruoxin Li, Yong Cai, John H. Eichert, Jr., Emily Zhao, Yilian Yuan, Yanping Liu, Steve Eichert, D. Bruce West, William McClellan

Patent number: 11734648Abstract: A system and method are presented relating to emotion-based action recommendations. The present invention may include a recommender engine that analyzes several pieces of information and using artificial intelligence derived models, provides a course of action for a contact center agent and the probability and estimations behind the recommendation as a justification. System inputs include cost of the item or service being troubleshooted, estimated costs for different resolutions, cost of each escalation level of the interaction, history of previous interactions, agent costs, history of the current interaction, acoustic events and sentiment or primary detected emotions of the customer's transcript. The recommended course of action, rationale, and authorization can be provided as output. The system may record whether the agent followed the recommendation to improve further recommendations.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2020Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Inventors: Jessica Li, Leor Grebler, Ankit Pat, William Zhao
