Objective: To develop an oligonucleotide microarray for fast detection of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
Methods: With complete genome sequence of HIV-1 subtype B (U26942) as the target sequence and bioinformatics software such as DNAClub, Oligo6.0, BLAST, Alignment, oligonucleotide probes of high specificity with identical length and similar melting temperature (T(m)) were designed and synthesized. Oligonucleotide microarray was prepared using Cartesian Microarrayer. Using the plasmids of HIV-1 subtype B(U26942), C(U46016), F(AF075703), G(AF061640) and restriction display technique, Cy3-labeled HIV DNA fragments were amplified and the hybridization results were scanned and analyzed with Array-Pro.
Results And Conclusion: Twenty-two optimized oligonucleotide microarray probes were obtained and used to prepare the oligonucleotide microarray for further screening studies. The microarray prepared significantly enhanced the sensitivity, reliability and speed of DNA assay, and possesses the potential for application in clinical setting.

Background: Frailty is a complex clinical state that is associated with poorer health outcomes and increased dementia risk in older adults. It is routinely measured using the Frailty Index, which is a proportional score based on the number of 'deficits' that an individual has. Whilst such measures are useful for risk assessment, the aggregation of highly heterogeneous deficit profiles in genetic studies may obscure important insights into the underlying biology of frailty.

Background: The 2017 Lancet Commission on Dementia Prevention, Intervention and Care included air pollution in the list of potential risk factors for dementia. Air pollution has been associated with an increased risk of dementia in observational studies, but the causal relationship remains unclear. In this study, we used a two-sample Mendelian randomisation (MR) analysis to assess the causal relationship between PM, PM, NO and NO exposure and the occurrence of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, and frontotemporal dementia.

Background: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a common form of dementia among the elderly with a large percentage of estimated heritability. Conventional polygenic risk analysis only accounts for the linearly combined genomic effects of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). On the other hand, a deep-learning-based approach is able to uncover nonlinearly associated effects from data with high-dimensional features such as genomics.

Background: Age and genetic predisposition are well-known, non-modifiable risk factors for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Epidemiological studies have linked several modifiable risk factors to AD, but less is known about their influence on the age-at-onset (AAO) of AD. With an increase of genome-wide association studies (GWASs) and advanced genetic analysis developed, we sought to identify modifiable risk factors for AAO of AD and evaluate their causal effects.
