  • Publication number: 20240093212
    Abstract: The present invention provides a bacterial continuous evolution system, an orthogonal error-prone DNA polymerase, and a continuous evolution method. In the present invention, by combining an orthogonal DNA replication system and an orthogonal error-prone DNA polymerase, a continuous evolution method that includes all mutant types, enables long-DNA-fragment mutation, and is good in continuity and simple and convenient to operate is obtained. By inducing the opening and closing of DNA polymerase expression, switching between a linear plasmid error-prone mutation process and a high-fidelity replication process is realized, so as to achieve the efficient and continuous evolution of a target DNA sequence.

  • Publication number: 20240067996
    Abstract: The invention provides a Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain for producing a human milk lipid substitute. By integrating a heterologous lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase into Saccharomyces cerevisiae and knocking out its own natural lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase, the content of palmitic acid (C16:0) at Sn-2 position of triacylglycerol produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae is increased, to synthesize a human milk lipid substitute. On this basis, a metabolic pathway related gene is knocked out, to further increase the content of human milk lipid substitute in the product. In the present invention, a human milk lipid substitute is de novo synthesized by Saccharomyces cerevisiae for the first time, in which the total fatty acid is 15% or more, and the relative content of C16:0 at Sn-2 position reaches about 60%.

  • Publication number: 20230334698
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method for positioning. The method may include obtaining a scout image of a target object and inputting the scout image of the target object into a positioning model. The method may also include determining a positioning frame in the scout image based on an output result of the positioning model. The positioning model may be obtained by training based on training scout images and information of the gold standard positioning frames. Each of the gold standard positioning frames may be in, from, or determined based on one of the training scout images and used for scanning.
