Revisiting the Pig IGHC Gene Locus in Different Breeds Uncovers Nine Distinct IGHG Genes.

IgG subclass diversification is common in placental mammals. It has been well documented in humans and mice that different IgG subclasses, with diversified functions, synergistically regulate humoral immunity. However, our knowledge on the genomic and functional diversification of IgG subclasses in the pig, a mammalian species with high agricultural and biomedical importance, is incomplete.

A high-throughput screen for genes essential for PRRSV infection using a piggyBac-based system.

In this study, using a dual-functional, piggyBac transposon-based system, we developed a method to systematically decipher the host genes that may be associated with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) infection. A Marc145 cell library, which was randomly mutated by transfecting piggyBac plasmids, was challenged with PRRSV. The surviving cell clones were subjected to inverse PCR and high-throughput sequencing to map the integration sites of the transposon.

Model parameters of molecular evolution explain genomic correlations.

One long-standing research focus in evolutionary genomics is trying to resolve how biological variables (expression, essentiality, protein-protein interaction, structural stability, etc.) determine the rate of protein evolution. While these studies have considerably deepened our understanding of molecular evolution, many issues remain unsolved.

Use of NTRIP for optimizing the decoding algorithm for real-time data streams.

As a network transmission protocol, Networked Transport of RTCM via Internet Protocol (NTRIP) is widely used in GPS and Global Orbiting Navigational Satellite System (GLONASS) Augmentation systems, such as Continuous Operational Reference System (CORS), Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) and Satellite Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS). With the deployment of BeiDou Navigation Satellite system(BDS) to serve the Asia-Pacific region, there are increasing needs for ground monitoring of the BeiDou Navigation Satellite system and the development of the high-precision real-time BeiDou products. This paper aims to optimize the decoding algorithm of NTRIP Client data streams and the user authentication strategies of the NTRIP Caster based on NTRIP.
