Major capsid protein (MCP) can be used as a subunit vaccine against largemouth bass virus (LMBV). However, subunit vaccines usually have low immunogenicity. Here, to identify the major immunogenicity determinant region of the MCP gene, we truncated the MCP of the LMBV gene into four parts ( MCP ‐ 1, MCP ‐ 2, MCP ‐ 3 and MCP ‐ 4 ). Enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to identify the antigenicity of these four tru...

Dimethyl sulfide (DMS) is one of the most important volatile biogenic sulfur compounds and plays a significant role in global climate change. Studying the seasonal variations and the environmental factors that affect the concentration of DMS would aid in understanding the biogeochemical cycle of sulfur compounds. Using benzene-assisted photoionization positive ion mobility spectrometry (BAPI-PIMS), the seasonal distribution an...

Mounting observational records demonstrate human‐caused faunal decline in recent decades, while accumulating archaeological evidence suggests an early biodiversity impact of human activities during the Holocene. A fundamental question arises concerning whether modern wildlife population declines began during early human disturbance. Here, we performed a population genomic analysis of six common forest birds in East Asia to add...

Highly efficient gene knockout (KO) editing of CRISPR–Cas9 has been achieved in iPSCs, whereas homology-directed repair (HDR)-mediated precise gene knock-in (KI) and high-level expression are still bottlenecks for the clinical applications of iPSCs. Here, we developed a novel editing strategy that targets introns. By targeting the intron before the stop codon, this approach tolerates reading frameshift mutations caused by nonh...
