  • Publication number: 20240086386
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides more efficient techniques for removing a host from a multi-host database system. An instruction to remove a host system may be received. In response, a determination of whether the first host system does or does not store any source tables is made based on a host-type identifier for the host system. This determination may not require obtaining landscape information for each of the hosts in the database system. If the host system stores replica tables and does not store source tables, those replica tables may be dropped based on the determination that the first host system does not store any source tables. As such, in cases where table redistribution is not needed the landscape information is not obtained, thereby making the host removal process more efficient.

  • Publication number: 20230287419
    Abstract: A duchenne muscular dystrophy-related exonic splicing enhancer, sgRNA and gene editing tool can be applied in the preparation of drugs for treating duchenne muscular dystrophy. The gene editing tool designed on the basis of cytosine deaminase AID mutants and Cas9 mutants can perform site-specific modification on a mammalian genome by using an adeno-associated virus (AAV) as a vector. By optimizing an encoding nucleic acid sequence and an element composition structure of the editing tool, site-specific targeted modification of mammalian genetic material DNA can be efficiently achieved; and by performing targeted genetic manipulation on the nucleic acid sequence carrying disease mutations, a pathogenic mutation cannot be retained in a mature protein amino acid sequence or the pathogenic mutation cannot perform its function, so that the purpose of treating various gene mutation type genetic rare diseases is achieved, and the advantages of high efficiency, safety and stability are achieved.
