The immunopathological functions associated with human C1q are still growing in terms of novelty, diversity, and pathologic relevance.It is, therefore, not surprising that C1q is being recognized as an important molecular bridge between innate and adaptive immunity.The secret of this functional diversity, in turn, resides in the elegant but complex
Genome sequencing highlights the dynamic early history of dogs.
To identify genetic changes underlying dog domestication and reconstruct their early evolutionary history, we generated high-quality genome sequences from three gray wolves, one from each of the three putative centers of dog domestication, two basal dog lineages (Basenji and Dingo) and a golden jackal as an outgroup.Analysis of these sequences supp
Drosophila and genome-wide association studies: a review and resource for the functional dissection of human complex traits
Human genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have successfully identified thousands of susceptibility loci for common diseases with complex genetic etiologies.Although the susceptibility variants identified by GWAS usually have only modest effects on individual disease risk, they contribute to a substantial burden of trait variation in the overall

QUANTIFYING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN NATURAL AND SOCIOECONOMIC FACTORS AND WITH FINE PARTICULATE MATTER (PM2.5) POLLUTION BY INTEGRATING REMOTE SENSING AND GEOSPATIAL BIG DATA
PM2.5 pollution is an environmental issue results from various natural and socioeconomic factors, frequently witnessed in the spring and winter across mainland China.However, the dominant influence of natural and socioeconomic factors within a city on PM2.5 is not extensively studied yet.In this study, the Random Forest Regression (RFR) is utilized
