Artificial cell-cell communication in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae using signaling elements from Arabidopsis thaliana.
Ming Tang Chen,Ron Weiss +1 more
TL;DR: Two artificial cell-cell communication systems in yeast were developed and analyzed and integrated Arabidopsis thaliana signal synthesis and receptor components with yeast endogenous protein phosphorylation elements and new response promoters resulted in population density–dependent gene expression and quorum sensing.

Highly-efficient Cas9-mediated transcriptional programming
Alejandro Chavez,Jonathan Scheiman,Suhani Vora,Benjamin W. Pruitt,Marcelle Tuttle,Eswar Prasad Ramachandran Iyer,Samira Kiani,Christopher D. Guzman,Daniel J. Wiegand,Dmitry Ter-Ovanesyan,Jonathan L. Braff,Noah Davidsohn,Ron Weiss,John Aach,James J. Collins,George M. Church +15 more
TL;DR: The development of an improved transcriptional regulator through the rational design of a tripartite activator, VP64-p65-Rta (VPR), fused to Cas9 is described and its utility in activating expression of endogenous coding and non-coding genes, targeting several genes simultaneously and stimulating neuronal differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).

VoiceFilter: Targeted Voice Separation by Speaker-Conditioned Spectrogram Masking.
Quan Wang,Hannah Muckenhirn,Kevin W. Wilson,Prashant Sridhar,Zelin Wu,John R. Hershey,Rif A. Saurous,Ron Weiss,Ye Jia,Ignacio Lopez Moreno +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a speaker recognition network that produces speaker-discriminative embeddings and a spectrogram masking network that takes both noisy spectrogram and speaker embedding as input, and produces a mask.
Journal ArticleDOI
CRISPR transcriptional repression devices and layered circuits in mammalian cells
Samira Kiani,Jacob Beal,Mohammad R. Ebrahimkhani,Jin Huh,Richard N. Hall,Zhen Xie,Yinqing Li,Ron Weiss +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a modular transcriptional repression architecture based on clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats (CRISPR) system was presented for regulated expression of guide RNAs in human cells.

Tacotron: A Fully End-to-End Text-To-Speech Synthesis Model.
Yuxuan Wang,RJ Skerry-Ryan,Daisy Stanton,Yonghui Wu,Ron Weiss,Navdeep Jaitly,Zongheng Yang,Ying Xiao,Zhifeng Chen,Samy Bengio,Quoc V. Le,Yannis Agiomyrgiannakis,Robert A. J. Clark,Rif A. Saurous +13 more
TL;DR: This paper presents Tacotron, an end- to-end generative text-to-speech model that synthesizes speech directly from characters, and presents several key techniques to make the sequence-tosequence framework perform well for this challenging task.
