ZHOU Yongjin and colleagues developed novel genetic tools for precise genome editing in Pichia pastoris by enhancing homologous recombination (HR) rates and engineering the multiple intrusion-induced rearrangement (MIR) processes. The key gene RAD52, which played crucial role in HR repair in Pichia pastoris, was overexpressed for improving the efficiency of single gene editing to 90%. […]
According to the “2020 National Renewable Energy Power Development Monitoring Evaluation Report” released by the National Energy Bureau (Energy Bureau), the actual consumption of renewable energy power nationwide in 2020 was 2,161.3 billion kWh. The share of electricity consumption in society as a whole increased by 1.3 points from the previous year to 28.8%. The […]
The workshop organised by MOST and JST and attended by 30 scientists in Qingdao, Shandong Province, and over 10000 participants online, included a keynote report and a roundtable forum on themes such as marine environment and climate change, marine fishery biological resource conservation, and marine microplastics. Scientists in the field of marine environment actively exchanged […]
According to the Rural Hydropower Bureau of the Ministry of Water Resources, the area of water-saving irrigation in China as of the end of 2020 was 37.8 million ha. Of these, high-efficiency water-saving irrigation areas such as sprinkler irrigation, drip irrigation, and pipeline irrigation were 23.3 million ha. The irrigated areas occupy about 50% of […]
The group of WANG Junfeng and colleagues have used a special mobile phase to pre-treat micron-sized borate bioglass by a melting method in vitro. They obtained nano-scale (~50nm) borate bioglass (Nano-HCA@BG), which was covered with an amorphous hydroxyapatite (HCA) layer. During the processing, the ions (PO43- and CO32-) in the mobile phase were deposited on […]
