Diagnostic Potential

The human body is made up of hundreds, perhaps thousands of cell types and states, most of which are currently inaccessible genetically. Genetic accessibility carries significant diagnostic and therapeutic potential by allowing the selective delivery of genetic messages or cures to cells. Research in model organisms has shown that single regulatory element (RE) activities are seldom cell type specific, limiting their usage in genetic systems designed to restrict gene expression posteriorly to their delivery to cells. Intersectional genetic approaches can increase the number of genetically accessible cells. A typical intersectional method acts like an AND logic gate by converting the input of two or more active REs into a single synthetic output, which becomes unique for that cell. Here, we systematically assessed the intersectional genetics landscape of human using a curated subset of cells from a large RE usage atlas obtained by Cap Analysis of Gene Expression Sequencing (CAGE-Seq) of thousands of primary and cancer cells (the FANTOM5 consortium atlas). We developed the heuristics and algorithms to retrieve and quality rank AND gate intersections intra- and inter-individually. We find that >90% of the 154 primary cell types surveyed can be distinguished from each other with as little as 3 to 4 active REs, with quantifiable safety and robustness. We call these minimal intersections of active REs with cell-type diagnostic potential “Versatile Entry Codes” (VEnCodes). We show that VEnCodes could be found for 100% of the 158 cancer cell types surveyed, and that most of these are highly robust to intra- and interindividual variation. Our tools for generating and quality-ranking VEnCodes can be adapted to other RE usage databases and to other intersectional methods using alternative Boolean logic operations. Our work demonstrate the potential of intersectional approaches for future gene delivery technologies in human.

Prime Concern

Power dissipation has been the prime concern for CMOS circuits. Approximate computing is a potential solution for addressing this concern as it reduces power consumption resulting in improved performance in terms of power–delay product (PDP). Decrease of power consumption in approximate computing is achieved by approximating the demand of accuracy as per the error tolerance of the system. This paper presents a new approach for designing approximate adder by introducing inexactness in the existing logic gate(s). Approximated logic gates provide flexibility in designing low power error-resilient systems depending on the error tolerance of the applications such as image processing and data mining. The proposed approximate adder (PAA) has higher accuracy than existing approximate adders with normalized mean error distance of 0.123 and 0.1256 for 16-bit and 32-bit adder, respectively, and lower PDP of 1.924E[Formula: see text]18[Formula: see text]J for 16-bit adder and 5.808E[Formula: see text]18[Formula: see text]J for 32-bit adder. The PAA also performs better than some of the recent approximate adders reported in literature in terms of layout area and delay. Performance of PAA has also been evaluated with an image processing application.

We propose a scheme to realize all-optical logic operation in quantum-dot semiconductor optical amplifier (QD-SOA) based Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) considering the effects of two-photon absorption (TPA). During propagation of sub-picosecond pulses in QD-SOA, TPA leads to an additional change in carrier recovery dynamics in quantum-dots. We utilize a rate equation model to take into account carrier refill through TPA and nonlinear dynamics including carrier heating and spectral hole burning in the QD-SOA. The simulation results show the TPA induced pumping in the QD-SOA can reduce the pattern effect and increase the output quality of the all-optical logic operation. With TPA, this scheme is suitable for high speed Boolean logic operation at 320 Gb/s.
