Efficacy of tyrosine kinase inhibitors examined by a combination of Raman micro-spectroscopy and a deep wavelet scattering-based multivariate analysis framework.

HER2 is a crucial therapeutic target in breast cancer, and the survival rate of breast cancer patients has increased because of this receptor's inhibition. However, tumors have shown resistance to this therapeutic strategy due to oncogenic mutations that decrease the binding of several HER2-targeted drugs, including lapatinib, and confer resistance to this drug. Neratinib can overcome this drug resistance and effectively inhibit HER2 signaling and tumor growth.

BLR: a flexible pipeline for haplotype analysis of multiple linked-read technologies.

Linked-read sequencing promises a one-method approach for genome-wide insights including single nucleotide variants (SNVs), structural variants, and haplotyping. We introduce Barcode Linked Reads (BLR), an open-source haplotyping pipeline capable of handling millions of barcodes and data from multiple linked-read technologies including DBS, 10× Genomics, TELL-seq and stLFR. Running BLR on DBS linked-reads yielded megabase-scale phasing with low (<0.

Education Systems and Technology in 1990, 2020, and Beyond.

In I incorporated systems thinking to identify seven types of relationships in educational systems: teacher-student, student-content, student-context, teacher-content, teacher-context, content-context, and education system-environment relationships (Frick 1991). I now revisit these education system relations and discuss potential futures of education. The World Wide Web did not exist when I wrote the original treatise, nor did wireless smartphones and tablets, Google's search engine, YouTube, Facebook, or Wikipedia.

High throughput barcoding method for genome-scale phasing.

The future of human genomics is one that seeks to resolve the entirety of genetic variation through sequencing. The prospect of utilizing genomics for medical purposes require cost-efficient and accurate base calling, long-range haplotyping capability, and reliable calling of structural variants. Short-read sequencing has lead the development towards such a future but has struggled to meet the latter two of these needs.

Fast and Efficient Fc-Specific Photoaffinity Labeling To Produce Antibody-DNA Conjugates.

Antibody-DNA conjugates are powerful tools for DNA-assisted protein analysis. Growing usage of these methods demands efficient production of high-quality conjugates. We developed an easy and fast synthesis route yielding covalent antibody-DNA conjugates with a defined conjugation site and low batch-to-batch variability.
