Genome editing using engineered nucleases has rapidly transformed from a niche technology to a mainstream method used in various host cells. Its widespread adoption has been largely developed by the emergence of the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) system, which uses an easily customizable specificity RNA-guided DNA endonuclease, such as Cas9. Recently, CRISPR/Cas9 mediated genome engineering has been widely applied to model organisms, including Bacillus subtilis, enabling facile, rapid high-fidelity modification of endogenous native genes.

Relationship between high lung cancer incidence in Xuanwei residents and environmental pollution has been a hot topic in the field of environmental sciences. Street dusts in Xuanwei power plant area as well as its upwind area (Banqiao town) and downwind area (Laibin town, Tangtang town) were collected. Chemical elements in the street dust samples were investigated using ICP-MS.
