We describe a method for retrieving sequences with one or two point mutations of a given target sequence, which are present in a DNA population at a frequency of 1 in 466 x 10(3) and 1 in 28 x 10(3) molecules, respectively. By stringent hybridization to a stable, chemically immobilized probe, a large excess of unrelated fragments is removed, and the bound sequences are dissociated and amplified. By repeating the hybridization-amplification cycles twice, we achieved an estimated enrichment of 404,000-fold and 1612-fold, respectively, which was confirmed by cloning the resultant products and sequencing 35 clones. This procedure can be applied to retrieve mutated sequences that exist at an extremely low frequency in a DNA population.

Forests play a vital role in environmental balance, supporting biodiversity and contributing to atmospheric purification. However, forest fires threaten this balance, making the identification of forest fire probability (FFP) areas crucial for effective mitigation. This study assesses forest fire trends and susceptibility in the Similipal Biosphere Reserve (SBR) from 2012 to 2023 using four machine learning models-extreme gradient boosting tree (XGBTree), AdaBag, random forest (RF), and gradient boosting machine (GBM).

In order to overcome harsh working environments and meet eco-friendly demands, the development of environmentally tolerant and recyclable hydrogels is necessary. Herein, multifunctional conductive hydrogel was successfully constructed by introducing starch into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/glycerin (Gly)/lithium chloride (LiCl) hydrogel. Starch is rich in active sites (-OH groups) that provide a variety of physical interactions for the construction of polymer hydrogels.

Background: Cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) reflects the ability of cerebral blood vessels to adjust their diameter in response to vasoactive stimuli, which is crucial for maintaining brain health. Traditional CVR assessments commonly use a two-point measurement, assuming a linear relationship between cerebral blood flow (CBF) and arterial CO. However, this approach fails to capture non-linear characteristics, particularly the plateaus at extreme CO levels.
