Abstract: Methods and systems for searching genomes for potential CRISPR off-target sites are provided. In preferred embodiments, the methods include identifying possible on- and off-target cleavage sites and/or ranking the potential off-target sites based on the number and location of mismatches, insertions, and/or deletions in the gRNA guide sequence relative to the genomic DNA sequence at a putative target site in the genome. These methods allow for the selection of better target sites and/or experimental confirmation of off-target sites and are an improvement over partial search mechanisms that fail to locate every possible target site.

In order to achieve an objection of enhancement of a touch signal for recognition and getting rid of noise impact simultaneously, the present invention discloses a touch recognition method that actually includes two different measurement cycles to acquire two different sample voltage values. Consequently, noise impact can be removed by calculation of a sample voltage value difference between two different sample voltage values, at the same time, and the sample voltage value difference can provide a double magnitude as disclosed in the prior art to enhance accuracy for recognizing a user touch input while preventing from influence of noise.

Prior to pulverizing, the charcoal is reduced to a normal pressure by a decompression feeding system of charcoal, pulverized into powders, and transported to a supercharging feeding system of charcoal powder by normal pressure transport gas. The pressurized charcoal powder is transported to gasifier. The high-temperature charcoal at an outlet of carbonization furnace is cooled to 60-200° C. by a cooler, and transported into the decompression feeding system to be depressurized. The charcoal powder with pressurized is ejected to gasifier by an ejector, pyrolysis gas produced from carbonization furnace is used as carrier gas, and the ratio of solid to gas in the transportation pipe for charcoal powder is controlled at between 0.03 and 0.
