The identification and detection of microalgae are essential for the development and utilization of microalgae resources. Traditional methods for microalgae identification and detection have many limitations. Herein, a Feature-Enhanced YOLOv7 (FE-YOLO) model for microalgae cell identification and detection is proposed.

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is one of the most common post-transcriptional RNA modifications, which plays a critical role in various bioprocesses such as immunological processes, stress response, cell self-renewal, and proliferation. The abnormal expression of m6A-related proteins may occur in the central nervous system, affecting neurogenesis, synapse formation, brain development, learning and memory, etc. Accumulating evidence is emerging that dysregulation of m6A contributes to the initiation and progression of psychiatric disorders including depression.

The FeNiCrAlCoCuTi alloy system has great advantages in mechanical properties such as high hardness and toughness. It has high performance potential and research value and the key in research is designing alloy compositions with target properties. The traditional method, experimental analysis, is highly inefficient to properly exploit the intrinsic relationship between material characteristics and properties for multi-component alloys, especially in investigating the whole composition space.

The specific recognition and binding of promoter and RNA polymerase is the first step of transcription initiation in bacteria and largely determines transcription activity. Therefore, direct analysis of the interaction between promoter and RNA polymerase may be a new strategy for promoter characterization, to avoid interference due to the cell's biophysical condition and other regulatory elements. In the present study, the specific interaction between T7 promoter and T7 RNA polymerase was studied as a model system using force spectroscopy based on atomic force microscope (AFM).
