  • Patent number: 12093980
    Abstract: Techniques for context sensitive overlays, comprising a social networking application. The social networking application may include, among other components, a social networking overlay management component to receive a request from a mobile device to determine a list of aggregate overlay information and user context information, and providing the list of aggregate overlay information and user context information to the mobile device, a context determination component to determine the user context information representative of at least one user context based at least partially on user profile information, location information, calendar event information, and/or external event information, and an overlay selection component to generate the list of aggregate overlay information based at least partially on the user profile information, overlay promotion information, and user context information.

  • Publication number: 20240175056
    Abstract: Genomic insertions, duplications, and insertion/deletion (indels) account for ˜14% of human pathogenic mutations. Current gene editing methods cannot accurately or efficiently correct these abnormal genomic rearrangements, especially larger alterations (>100 bp). The presently disclosed compositions and methods accurately delete insertions/duplications and repair the deletion junction to improve the scope of gene therapies. For example, a Cas9 prime editor (PECas9) is combined with two prime editing guide RNAs (pegRNAs) targeting complementary DNA strands. PECas9 can replace an ˜1-kb genomic fragment with a desired sequence at the target site without requiring an exogenous DNA template.

  • Patent number: 11399002
    Abstract: Techniques are described that enable a user to create a collection of content posts on a social networking system. In some cases, a social networking system receives multiple content posts to be shared, and shares the multiple content posts with a first group of user accounts. The social networking system receives a request to create a collection of one or more content posts of the multiple content posts, where the request includes a descriptor associated with the collection. The social networking system generates the collection of the one or more content posts including the descriptor, and provides the collection to a second group of user accounts.

  • Publication number: 20220207036
    Abstract: A data operation method includes: parsing, in response to receiving a data read request, the data read request to obtain a query condition; querying data satisfying the query condition in a not only structured query language (NoSQL) database (DB) when the query condition satisfies a preset high-frequency access condition; querying data satisfying the query condition in a relational DB when the query condition satisfies a preset complex access condition, data stored in the NoSQL DB and the relational DB being consistent; responding to the data read request based on the queried data.

  • Patent number: 11048381
    Abstract: When a user sees a content item presented by a social networking system, the user may select an option to save the content item. The saved content item may be reinserted in a newsfeed presented to the user, integrated into collections, archived, used for notifications to the user, or otherwise subsequently presented to the user. A plug-in may be used to save content items accessed through websites external to the social networking system. As privacy settings associated with a saved content item are modified, the modified privacy settings are applied to the saved content item, which may prevent the user saving the content item from subsequently viewing the saved content item.
