Article Abstract
Here, we report inducible mosaic animal for perturbation (iMAP), a transgenic platform enabling in situ CRISPR targeting of at least 100 genes in parallel throughout the mouse body. iMAP combines Cre-loxP and CRISPR-Cas9 technologies and utilizes a germline-transmitted transgene carrying a large array of individually floxed, tandemly linked gRNA-coding units. Cre-mediated recombination triggers expression of all the gRNAs in the array but only one of them per cell, converting the mice to mosaic organisms suitable for phenotypic characterization and also for high-throughput derivation of conventional single-gene perturbation lines via breeding. Using gRNA representation as a readout, we mapped a miniature Perturb-Atlas cataloging the perturbations of 90 genes across 39 tissues, which yields rich insights into context-dependent gene functions and provides a glimpse of the potential of iMAP in genome decoding.

Optical neural networks (ONNs) have demonstrated unique advantages in overcoming the limitations of traditional electronic computing through their inherent physical properties, including high parallelism, ultra-wide bandwidth, and low power consumption. As a crucial implementation of ONNs, on-chip diffractive optical neural network (DONN) offers an effective solution for achieving highly integrated and energy-efficient machine learning tasks. Notably, wavelength, as a fundamental degree of freedom in optical field manipulation, exhibits multidimensional multiplexing capabilities that can significantly enhance computational parallelism.

Wastewater can serve as both a source of pathogens that pose risks to human health and a valuable resource for tracking and predicting disease prevalence through wastewater-based surveillance (WBS). In WBS for SARS-CoV-2, both nucleocapsid-specific (N1 and N2) and the envelope (E) genes are common targets for primer design, but ambiguity remains regarding differences in results depending on the gene target chosen. This study investigated how and why two SARS-CoV-2 gene targets (N2 and E) varied when analyzed in a multiplex RT-ddPCR assay for a COVID-19 wastewater monitoring study.

Background: Diagnosis of Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and its specific underlying neuropathologies (frontotemporal lobar degeneration; FTLD-Tau and FTLD-TDP) are challenging, and thus, fluid biomarkers are needed to improve diagnostic accuracy.
Methods: We used proximity extension assays to analyze 665 proteins in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from a multicenter cohort, which included patients with FTD ( = 189), Alzheimer’s Disease dementia (AD; = 232), and cognitively unimpaired individuals ( = 196). In a subset, FTLD neuropathology was determined based on phenotype or genotype (FTLD-Tau = 87 and FTLD-TDP = 67).

Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic participatory digital surveillance of symptoms (syndromic surveillance) re-established itself as a worthy addition to the surveillance pyramid, as they are scalable, flexible and function independent from the health care system or health care seeking behaviour. A limitation of syndromic surveillance however is the inability of pathogen identification. We describe our experiences regarding integrating self-swabs with centralized testing into a participatory syndromic surveillance system in the Netherlands (Infectieradar).

Background: Preoperative identification of breast cancer (BC) subtypes is essential for optimizing treatment strategies and improving patient outcomes. This study aimed to identify circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) methylation signatures to differentiate triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) from other BC subtypes (non-TNBC).
Methods: We initially performed a genome-wide analysis to identify differentially methylated CpG sites (DMCs; |Δ| > 0.
