Pathogenic bio-aerosols are a threat to public health today, and thus quick detection and identification is of paramount importance. In this study, Raman spectroscopy was used to test 14 types of pollens, one type of fungus and two types of bacteria ...
The CRISPR-Cas are adaptive bacterial and archaeal immunity systems that have been harnessed for the development of powerful genome editing and engineering tools. In the incessant host-parasite arms race, viruses evolved multiple anti-defense mechani...

Bacterial foraging optimization (BFO) algorithm is a novel swarm intelligence optimization algorithm that has been adopted in a wide range of applications. However, at present, the classical BFO algorithm still has two major drawbacks: one is the fix...
The rise in metagenomics has led to an exponential growth in virus discovery. However, the majority of these new virus sequences have no assigned host. Current machine learning approaches to predicting virus host interactions have a tendency to focus...
Identification of novel photosynthetic proteins is important for understanding and improving photosynthetic efficiency. Synergistically, genome neighborhood can provide additional useful information to identify photosynthetic proteins. We, therefore,...
Raman spectroscopy is a nondestructive, label-free, highly specific approach that provides the chemical information on materials. Thus, it is suitable to be used as an effective analytical tool to characterize biological samples. Here we introduce a ...
Microbes play an essential role in the decomposition process but were poorly understood in their succession and behaviour. Previous researches have shown that microbes show predictable behaviour that starts at death and changes during the decompositi...
