Abstract: Dysbiosis has been linked to diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease and obesity. Multi-omics studies have uncovered significant associations between microbiota genes and diseases. Many of these genes are exclusively expressed in non-model microbes such as Firmicutes/Clostridia. A pipeline for building microbial genetic manipulation systems would be a first step to manipulating these genes in vivo and causally connecting them with host diseases. The present technology relates generally to compositions and the methods of preparations thereof for genetically engineering gut-microbiota in vitro. The present technology further relates to uses of compositions in vivo.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes obtaining, by each secure multi-party computation (MPC) computation party of n secure MPC computation parties, a first data component sent by a data provider, obtained after the data provider splits to-be-processed data into n data components, and n is an integer not less than 3. M secure MPC computation parties are selected to respectively perform a shuffling operation on respectively held first data components, to obtain a second data component, so as to perform an MPC operation, wherein 1<m<n, and wherein m is a positive integer. Selecting m secure MPC computation parties is cyclically performed to perform a shuffling operation on first data components, until each secure MPC computation party is not selected for at least one time to perform the shuffling operation, where m secure MPC computation parties selected each time are not completely identical.

Abstract: In an example data processing method, a data processing task is received, which includes a to-be-processed non-polynomial function and to-be-processed data corresponding to an independent variable of the non-polynomial function. A first linear transformation is performed on the to-be-processed data, so that an independent variable value corresponding to data obtained after the first linear transformation falls within a fitting domain of definition. The fitting domain of definition is an interval selected from a domain of definition of the independent variable of the non-polynomial function. A fitting polynomial function value is obtained based on the data obtained after the first linear transformation. The fitting polynomial is obtained by performing Chebyshev series fitting on the non-polynomial function in the fitting domain of definition.
