The Sc2.0 project is building a eukaryotic synthetic genome from scratch. A major milestone has been achieved with all individual chromosomes assembled. Here, we describe the consolidation of multiple using advanced endoreduplication intercrossing tRNA expression cassettes to generate strain 6.5 chromosomes. 3D chromosome organization and transcript isoform profiles were evaluated Hi-C long-read direct RNA sequencing. We developed CRISPR Directed Biallelic URA3-assisted Genome Scan, or...
Recently, the use of smartphones to deliver health-related content has experienced rapid growth, with more than 165,000 mobile health (mHealth) apps currently available in digital marketplace. With 3 out 4 Canadians owning a smartphone, mHealth offer opportunities accessible knowledge and support. Many individuals experience pain after surgery, which can negatively impact their quality life, including sleep, emotional, social functioning. Smartphone that provide remote real-time monitoring...
Growing research has been conducted into the deployment and evaluation of mobile technology interventions for weight management in adolescents. However, no work yet toward development these technologies adolescents with complex health needs receiving specialized tertiary-level care.The aim this study was to conduct a user-centered assessment interested requiring care services, their parents, providers (HCPs) inform design app management.A qualitative employed.

Abstract The Sc2.0 project is building a eukaryotic synthetic genome from scratch, incorporating thousands of designer features. A major milestone has been achieved with the assembly all individual chromosomes. Here, we describe consolidation multiple chromosomes using endoreduplication intercross to generate strain 6.5 Genome-wide chromosome conformation capture and long-read direct RNA sequencing were performed on this evaluate effects modifications, such as loxPsym site insertion, tRNA...
Development of Alzheimer's Dementia & other related dementias (ADRD) is characterized by decline in executive functioning (EF), and onset risk ADRD increased stress. Previous work has shown that spending time nature or virtual reality can improve EF stress recovery younger adults. Yet, little examined whether these benefits extend to older We examine how either an equivalently designed natural environment affect adults compared a lab control condition.
Greater executive functioning (EF) protects against cognitive decline and activities that increase heart rate variability (HRV) can improve inhibitory control. Therefore, EF HRV play a key role in healthy aging. Attention Restoration Theory Stress Recovery posit nature exposure HRV, but older adults are underrepresented this work. This study addressed gap by examining how contact with real-world (RWN) virtual reality (VRN) affected younger adults' EF, perceived stress, affect. Participants (...
