Abstract

The present disclosure describes methods of polyimide synthesis and polyimides made therefore. The method includes placing a tetracarboxylic compound and a solvent in a reaction vessel and adding a first amount of a diamine. The first amount of the diamine is not more than 99.5 mol % of the tetracarboxylic compound inside the reaction vessel. The method can include agitating the mixture and determining a viscosity of the mixture. The method can further include adding a second amount of the diamine. The last steps can be repeated until the viscosity increases to a target value. The target viscosity can be correlated to a peak weight-averaged molecular weight of the polyimide.

Abstract

The present disclosure provides methods for producing gene-edited cells free of gene-editing system molecules through the manipulation of prototrophy. Exemplary system molecules include those required for CRISPR editing techniques, such as plasmids and genes encoding Cas nucleases. The methods may employ constructs that temporarily disrupt prototrophy, the removal of which restores prototrophy. Also disclosed are gene-edited cells and populations of gene-edited cells comprising these constructs. The present methods and compositions may be used to achieve desired gene editing of a host cell in the absence of extraneous genetic material remaining from the genetic engineering technique itself.

Abstract

A microorganism engineering project employs a vector representation of a biological network. The vector representation allows researchers to input elements known to have a direct impact on a goal of the project (e.g., an element in the metabolic pathway for generating a compound of interest). Within the vector representation, other biological elements are positioned with respect to an input element based on biological relatedness. In this manner, based on positions within the vector representation, candidate elements may be identified for editing. For example, if the elements are associated with a gene, the gene sequence may be knocked out and/or a different promoter may be used for regulating the gene.

Abstract

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media are described for identifying candidate biological sequences for screening to determine whether the candidate biological sequences enable a biological function. Identification may be based upon (a) degrees of similarity between test sequences and reference sequences that are known to enable the function, and (b) comparisons of regions in the test sequences to reference regions that are known to bind to a molecule. Identification may also be based upon determining sequence similarities between reference sequences, grouping the reference sequences into clusters that each correspond to a molecule that is indicated as capable of being bound by a reference sequence in the cluster, and identifying matching test sequences based upon a comparison of the test sequences with reference sequences in the clusters.

Abstract

Provided herein are novel non-naturally occuring bacteria that exhibit enhanced nitrogen fixation activity. Such non-naturally occuring bacteria are useful in providing plants (e.g., food crops) with useable nitrogen nutrients and, therefore, enhancing plant growth and development. In some embodiments, the non-naturally occuring bacterium provided herein exhibits: 1) increased nifA expression; 2) decreased nifL expression; 3) increased rpoN expression; and 4) expression of a variant GlnD that has decreased uridylyl-removing activity.

Abstract

The generation of a factory order includes receiving an expression indicating an operation on a first sequence operand and a second sequence operand. The first sequence operand represents multiple biological sequence parts, and the second sequence operand represents at least one biological sequence part. The expression is evaluated to a sequence specification, which represents modifications to at least one biological sequence, and comprises a data structure representing (a) the first and second sequence operands, (b) one or more first-level operations to be performed on one or more first-level sequence operands, and (c) one or more second-level operations, the execution of at least one of which resolves values of at least one of the first-level sequence operands. A factory order is generated based upon execution of at least one first-level operation and at least one second-level operation.

Abstract

The present disclosure describes methods of polyimide synthesis and polyimides made therefore. The method includes placing a tetracarboxylic compound and a solvent in a reaction vessel and adding a first amount of a diamine. The first amount of the diamine is not more than 99.5 mol% of the tetracarboxylic compound inside the reaction vessel. The method can include agitating the mixture and determining a viscosity of the mixture. The method can further include adding a second amount of the diamine. The last steps can be repeated until the viscosity increases to a target value. The target viscosity can be correlated to a peak weight-averaged molecular weight of the polyimide.

Abstract

The present invention pertains to a method for manufacturing an optical film, the method comprising: step (I) for dissolving a polyimide-based resin in a solvent to prepare a varnish; step (II) for applying the varnish onto a substrate to form a coating film; and step (III) for drying the coating film to form a film, wherein the polyimide-based resin contains a structural unit derived from an aliphatic diamine, the solvent in step (I) has a moisture absorption rate per unit area of at least 25 mass%/h·m2 as measured by the Karl Fischer method, and time T from the completion of the formation of the coating film in step (II) to the start of drying of the coating film in step (III) satisfies equation (A) [in equation (A), Vs represents the moisture absorption rate per minute (mass%/min) of the solvent as determined by the Karl Fischer method].
