In collaborative effort, teams were asked assemble simulated Illumina HiSeq data set an unknown, diploid A total 41 assemblies from 17 different groups received. Novel haplotype aware...
The emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) mechanisms in bacterial pathogens, coupled with the dwindling number effective antibiotics, has created a global health crisis. Being able to identify genetic AMR predict phenotypes pathogens prior culturing could inform clinical decision-making improve reaction time. At PATRIC ( http://patricbrc.org/ ), we have been collecting genomes metadata for several years. In order advance phenotype prediction identification genomic regions...
Antimicrobial resistant infections are a serious public health threat worldwide. Whole genome sequencing approaches to rapidly identify pathogens and predict antibiotic resistance phenotypes becoming more feasible may offer way reduce clinical test turnaround times compared conventional culture-based methods, in turn, improve patient outcomes. In this study, we use whole sequence data from 1668 isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae develop XGBoost-based machine learning model that accurately...
The low efficiency of photodynamic therapy (PDT) is caused by tumor hypoxia and the adaptive immune resistance/evasion cells, while currently emerging checkpoint restores intrinsic capacities but can't directly attack cells. Methods: Herein we report an integrated nanoplatform that combines PDT with immunotherapy to enhance therapeutic effects simultaneously inhibit cells resistance/evasion. To achieve this, fabricated Mn@CaCO3/ICG nanoparticles loaded them PD-L1-targeting siRNA. Results:...
Abstract Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been successfully used in many applications where important information about data is embedded the order of features, such as speech and imaging. However, most tabular do not assume a spatial relationship between thus are unsuitable for modeling using CNNs. To meet this challenge, we develop novel algorithm, image generator (IGTD), to transform into images by assigning features pixel positions so that similar close each other image. The...
Abstract Second harmonic generation (SHG) as an essential nonlinear optical effect, has gradually shifted its research trend toward the integration and miniaturization of photonic optoelectronic on‐chip devices in recent years. 2D layered materials (2DLMs) open up a new paradigm optics due to their large second‐order susceptibility, atomically thin structure, perfect phase‐matching. However, 2DLMs are facing bottleneck weak SHG conversion efficiency limit caused by short light–matter...
