Abstract In this article, we study stochastic homogenization of non-homogeneous Gaussian free fields $$\Xi ^{g,\textbf{a}} $$ Ξ g , a and bi-Laplacian ^{b,\textbf{a}}$$ b . They can be characteriz...

The CRISPR/Cas9 system is widely used for genome editing in livestock production, although off-target effects can occur. It the main method to produce genome-edited goats by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated primary goat fetal fibroblast cells (GFFs). Improving double-strand break (DSB) efficiency Cas9 would improve homologous repair (HR) efficiency. low HR remains a ...

Higher-order interactions are important for protein folding and assembly. We introduce the concept of interhelical three-body interactions as derived from Delaunay triangulation and alpha shapes of protein structures. In addition to glycophorin A, where triplets are strongly correlated with protein stability, we found that tight interhelical triplet interactions exist extensively in other membr...

Abstract Recently, a very deep convolutional neural network (CNN) has achieved impressive results in image super-resolution (SR). In particular, residual learning techniques are widely used. However, the previously proposed block can only extract one single-level semantic feature maps of single receptive field. Therefore, it is necessary to stack blocks higher-level maps, which will significant...

The CGView Server generates graphical maps of circular genomes that show sequence features, base composition plots, analysis results and sequence similarity plots. Sequences can be supplied in raw, FASTA, GenBank or EMBL format. Additional feature or analysis information can be submitted in the form of GFF (General Feature Format) files. The server uses BLAST to compare the primary sequence to ...

UNLABELLED Genetic control of root development in rice is complex and the underlying mechanisms (constitutive and adaptive) are poorly understood. Lowland and upland varieties of indica and japonica rice with contrasting root development characteristics have been crossed, mapping populations developed and a number of QTLs in different chromosomes were identified. As these studies have used diff...

Optical communication systems, operating in C-band, are reaching their theoretically achievable capacity limits. An attractive and economically viable solution to satisfy the future data rate demands is employ transmission across full low-loss spectrum encompassing O, E, S, C L band of single mode fibers (SMF). Utilizing all five bands offers a bandwidth up $\sim$53.5THz (365nm) with loss below...
