Abstract:
Embodiments provided herein relate to methods and compositions for preparing an immobilized library of barcoded DNA fragments of a target nucleic acid, identifying genomic variants, determining the contiguity information, phasing information, and methylation status of the target nucleic acid.
Abstract:
Devices and methods are described for separating components in a sample, for example a protein sample, in a branched channel structure, using flow barriers to separate flows between channels and/or providing an interface with an analysis device such as a mass spectrometer. In one example, a flow barrier is provided between a main (4) and a branch (12) channel to reduce diffusional contamination between the channels and cross talk. In another example, contamination of components entering the analysis device is reduced by switching selected components from a main channel (4) into a branch channel (12) and then through an interface into the analysis device.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to polynucleotides and polypeptides of the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase kinase (PEPc kinase) family, as well as their variants. The invention further relates to the use of the polynucleotides of the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase kinase family for production of transgenic plants.

Abstract:
A system for dispensing fluid in response to a sensed property such as an ambient sound comprises a sensor (2) for detecting one or more properties, a processing stage for determining if the one or more sensed properties is/are within a predetermined range and/or above and/or below a predetermined level and dispenser (6) for dispensing a fluid into an area surrounding the system if the one or more sensed properties is/are determined by the processing stage to be within a predetermined range and/or above and/or below a predetermined level and/or value.
