  • 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: 20240096491
    Abstract: A computer readable storage medium is provided. When contents of the computer readable storage medium are executed by a processor, multi-photon imaging may be performed on a histopathological section containing tumor environment information, and pathological partitioning of a tumor microenvironment may be further performed through image processing. A value of each collagen feature parameters, such as a morphological feature parameter, an energy feature parameter and a texture feature parameter, may be extracted from a tumor tissue region, an invasive margin (IM) region and a normal tissue (N) region. An inter-region difference and a variation may be calculated according to feature parameters of regions. A collagen feature scoring model may be established. A collagen feature score may be calculated with the collagen feature parameters input to the model.
