    Abstract: Provided herein are methods identifying protein-protein interactions in a single cell context. In some cases, the methods may be used to measure the abundance of protein-protein interactions in a single cell context. In some cases, the methods may be used to map relationships (e.g., spatial relationships) between proteins in a single cell context.

    Abstract: Cross-contamination of a test sample used to determine cancer is identified using gene sequencing data. Each test sample includes a number of test sequences that may include a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) that can be indicative of cancer. The test sequences are be filtered to remove or negate at least some of the SNPs from the test sequences. Negating the test sequences allows more test sequences to be simultaneously analyzed to determine cross-contamination. Cross-contamination is determined by modeling the variant allele frequency for the test sequences as a function of minor allele frequency, contamination level, and background noise. In some cases, the variant allele frequency is based on a probability function including the minor allele frequency. Cross-contamination of the test sample is determined if the determined contamination level is above a threshold and statistically significant.

This disclosure provides in vitro selection methods that interrogate 1011 DNA sequences for their ability to be cleaved by active nucleases, e.g., ZFNs and TALENs. The method revealed hundreds of thousands of DNA sequences that can be cleaved in vitro by two ZFNs, CCR5-224 and VF2468, which target the endogenous human CCR5 and VEGF-A genes, respectively. Analysis of the identified sites in cultured human cells revealed CCR5-224-induced mutagenesis at nine off-target loci. This disclosure provides an energy compensation model of ZFN specificity in which excess binding energy contributes to off-target ZFN cleavage. It was also observed that TALENs can achieve cleavage specificity similar to or higher than that observed in ZFNs.

  • Patent number: 11965853
    Abstract: An electrochemical sensor incorporates a ferrocenophane which is a compound with at least one bridging group covalently attached to and connecting the two cyclopentadiene rings associated with the same iron atom.

  • Patent number: 11952622
    Abstract: Methods for analyzing DNA-containing samples are provided. The methods can comprise isolating a single genomic equivalent of DNA from the DNA-containing sample to provide a single isolated DNA molecule. The single isolated DNA molecule can be subjected to amplification conditions in the presence of one or more sets of unique molecularly tagged primers to provide one or more amplicons. Any spurious allelic sequences generated during the amplification process are tagged with an identical molecular tag. The methods can also include a step of determining the sequence of the one or more amplicons, in which the majority sequence for each code is selected as the sequence of the single original encapsulated target. The DNA-containing sample can be a forensic sample (e.g., mixed contributor sample), a fetal genetic screening sample, or a biological cell.

  • Patent number: 11952617
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for quantitative detection of target nucleic acids, such as miRNAs are disclosed. The methods are especially advantageous for single-color multiplex detection of two or more targets simultaneously (e.g., in the same reaction). The methods can involve optional reverse transcription followed by amplification performed with universal primers, fluorophore-labeled detection probes, and quencher oligonucleotides for quenching fluorescence of any detection probe not bound to a target molecule. The methods employ differential stability of detection probe-quencher oligonucleotide complexes, and by extension, differential fluorescence at various temperatures to distinguish between different target molecules.

  • Patent number: 11946925
    Abstract: In a nanopore sensor, a nanopore disposed in a support structure has a nanopore diameter and nanopore resistance, RPore. A fluidic passage, disposed in fluidic connection between a first fluidic reservoir and the nanopore, has a cross-sectional extent, along at least a portion of the fluidic passage length, that is greater than the diameter of the nanopore and that is less than the fluidic passage length. The fluidic passage has a fluidic passage resistance, RFP, of at least about 10% of the nanopore resistance, RPore, and no more than about 10 times the nanopore resistance, RPore. The nanopore is disposed in fluidic connection between the fluidic passage and a second fluidic reservoir. At least one electrical transduction element is disposed at the fluidic passage and electrically connected to produce an indication of electrical potential local to the fluidic passage.
