    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods, kits, and compositions for improving the efficiency of homologous recombination. In particular, the disclosure relates to methods for introducing a nucleic acid cutting entity for DNA editing into cells that are difficult to transfect. Generally, the nucleic acid cutting entity is introduced into the cell without the use of viral vectors. The disclosure also relates to cloning DNA molecules directly into a genome with the combined use of promoter trapping and short homology arms, nuclear localization signal, and/or binding one or more DNA binding agents (TAL effector domain or truncated guide RNA bound by Cas9) to specific sites thereby displacing or restructuring chromatin at the target locus, and/or it increasing the accessibility of the target locus to further enzymatic modifications. The methods and compositions provided herein are, inter alia, useful for genome editing and enhancing enzymatic processes involved therein.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods, compositions, kits, and systems useful in the determination and evaluation of the immune repertoire. In one aspect, target-specific primer panels provide for the effective amplification of sequences of T cell receptor and or B cell receptor chains with improved sequencing accuracy and resolution over the repertoire. Variable regions associated with the immune cell receptor are resolved to effectively portray clonal diversity of a biological sample and or differences associated with the immune cell repertoire of a biological sample.

    Abstract: In one exemplary embodiment, a method computer-implemented method of generating an outlier wheel data visualization for a graphical user interface, GUI, is provided. The method includes receiving emission data from a plurality of amplification reactions. The method further includes generating an outlier wheel data visualization using the emission data including a plurality of lines, where each line included in the outlier wheel data visualization represents emission data from an amplification reaction of the plurality of amplification reactions, and each line having a length and a visual indicator. The length of each line represents growth of intensity of fluorescence of the emission data and the visual indicator indicates the associated cycle number of the emission data. Further, each line is associated with an angular position so that the plurality of lines is configured in a circular shape. The method includes displaying the outlier wheel data visualization on a GUI.

    Abstract: Sample purification systems include a particle extraction assembly having a mixing compartment and a settling compartment. A biological sample is mixed with two liquid phases formulated to effectuate transfer of a biological molecule into a first phase and particulate contaminants into a second phase. The first phase includes a solubilizing salt, the second phase includes an organic molecule, and the mixture can have little or no monoatomic salt or dextran. The molecule-containing first phase can be optionally concentrated without also concentrating the particulate contaminants and introduced into a multi-stage liquid-liquid extractor, by which the biological molecule or molecular contaminants are extracted from the first phase into a third phase, thereby purifying the molecule away from contaminants. The extracted sample can be further purified through a series of processing steps. The system can be run in continuously mode to maintain sterility of the sample.
