- The instrumentation in Hall A at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility was designed to study electro-and photo-induced reactions at very high luminosity and good momentum and angular resolution for at least one of the reaction products. The central components of Hall A are two identical high resolution spectrometers, which allow the vertical drift chambers in the focal plane to provide a momentum resolution of better than 2 x 10(-4). A variety of Cherenkov counters, scintillators and lead-glass calorimeters provide excellent particle identification. The facility has been operated successfully at a luminosity well in excess of 10(38) CM-2 s(-1). The research program is aimed at a variety of subjects, including nucleon structure functions, nucleon form factors and properties of the nuclear medium. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

- For targeted eradication of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) to reduce gastric cancer burden, a convenient approach is definitely needed. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the LAMP assay for H. pylori detection using samples collected by noninvasive and self-sampling methods. The available LAMP assay for H. pylori detection was appraised and verified using reference and clinically isolated H. pylori strains. In addition, a clinical study was conducted to assess the LAMP assay on 51 patients, from whom saliva, oral brushing samples, feces, corpus, and antrum specimens were available. Clarithromycin resistance was also analysed through detection of A2143G mutation using the LAMP-RFLP method. The validation and verification analysis demonstrated that the LAMP assay had an acceptable result in terms of specificity, sensitivity, reproducibility, and accuracy for clinical settings. The LAMP assay showed a detection limit for H. pylori down to 0.25 fg/µL of genomic DNA. An acceptable consensus was observed using saliva samples (sensitivity 58.1%, specificity 84.2%, PPV 85.7%, NPV 55.2%, accuracy 68%) in comparison to biopsy sampling as the gold standard. The performance testing of different combinations of noninvasive sampling methods demonstrated that a combination of saliva and oral brushing could achieve a sensitivity of 74.2% and a specificity of 57.9%. A2143G mutation detection by LAMP-RFLP showed perfect consensus with Sanger sequencing results. It appears that the LAMP assay in combination with noninvasive and self-sampling as a point-of-care testing (POCT) approach has potential usefulness to detect H. pylori infection in clinic settings and screening programs.

Machine learning-coupled combinatorial mutagenesis enables resource-efficient engineering of CRISPR-Cas9 genome editor activities
- 2022

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The genome-editing Cas9 protein uses multiple amino-acid residues to bind the target DNA. Considering only the residues in proximity to the target DNA as potential sites to optimise Cas9’s activity, the number of combinatorial variants to screen through is too massive for a wet-lab experiment. Here we generate and cross-validate ten in silico and experimental datasets of multi-domain combinatorial mutagenesis libraries for Cas9 engineering, and demonstrate that a machine learning-coupled engineering approach reduces the experimental screening burden by as high as 95% while enriching top-performing variants by ∼7.5-fold in comparison to the null model. Using this approach and followed by structure-guided engineering, we identify the N888R/A889Q variant conferring increased editing activity on the protospacer adjacent motif-relaxed KKH variant of Cas9 nuclease from Staphylococcus aureus (KKH-SaCas9) and its derived base editor in human cells. Our work validates a readily applicable workflow to enable resource-efficient high-throughput engineering of genome editor’s activity.

Family-based association study of the MCF2L2 gene and polycystic ovary syndrome
- 2009
-

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- <i>Objective:</i> The aim of the study was to determine the association between three single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) variants (rs35368790, rs35069869 and rs684846) of the MCF2 cell line-derived transforming sequence-like 2 <i>(MCF2L2)</i> gene and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in PCOS family trios. <i>Methods:</i> Genotyping was done by TaqMan assay that incorporates minor groove-binding probe technology for allelic discrimination. One hundred and fifty-two unrelated PCOS probands and their biological parents were recruited. All subjects were of Han Chinese origin and from Shandong Province. <i>Results:</i> The transmission disequilibrium test (TDT) for allelic association demonstrated that a weak association was detected in SNP rs35368790 with p = 0.008. However, we found no significant transmission distortion of the other two SNPs (rs35069869, χ<sup>2</sup> = 3.645, p = 0.056; rs684846, χ<sup>2</sup> = 1.429, p = 0.232, respectively). <i>Conclusions:</i> These results suggest that the genetic polymorphisms within <i>MCF2L2</i> are likely to confer an increased susceptibility to PCOS in the Chinese population. Our present data may provide a basis for further studies of the role of the <i>MCF2L2</i> gene in the etiology of PCOS.
