    Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic emphasizes the significance of studying coronaviruses (CoVs). This study investigates the evolutionary patterns of 350 CoVs using four structural proteins (S, E, M, and N) and introduces a consensus methodology to construct a comprehensive phylogenomic network. Our clustering of CoVs into 4 genera is consistent with the current CoV classification. Additionally, we calculate network centrality measures to identify CoV strains with significant average weighted degree and betweenness centrality values, with a specific focus on RaTG13 in the beta genus and NGA/A116E7/2006 in the gamma genus. We compare the phylogenetics of CoVs using our distance-based approach and the character-based model with IQ-TREE. Both methods yield largely consistent outcomes, indicating the reliability of our consensus approach. However, it is worth mentioning that our consensus method achieves an approximate 5000-fold increase in speed compared to IQ-TREE when analyzing the data set of 350 CoVs. This improved efficiency enhances the feasibility of conducting large-scale phylogenomic studies on CoVs.

    Abstract CRISPR-Cas systems revolutionized the genome engineering field but need to induce double-strand breaks (DSBs) and may be difficult to deliver due to their large protein size. Tn7-like transposons such as CRISPR-associated transposons (CASTs) can be repurposed for RNA-guided DSB-free integration, and obligate mobile element guided activity (OMEGA) proteins of the IS200/IS605 transposon family have been developed as hypercompact RNA-guided genome editing tools. CASTs and OMEGA are exciting, innovative genome engineering tools that can improve the precision and efficiency of editing. This review explores the recent developments and uses of CASTs and OMEGA in genome editing across prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The pros and cons of these transposon-based systems are deliberated in comparison to other CRISPR systems.

    Abstract Basically, it is hard for endeavors to recognize plant leaf images by a layman due to the varieties in some plant leaves and the extensive information collected for investigation. It is hard to build an automated recognition framework that can handle massive data and give an intermediate analysis. Image examination and order and pattern recognition are some issues that are effectively connected to the existing methods. This paper focuses on designing an automated plant recognition system based on the best recognition algorithm and the Google platform to locate all plant locations on a map. A case study of India, which has huge biodiversity, is illustrated. The proposed system can show the detailed location of that particular species, where they can be found, and the shortest distance from the current location.

    Abstract Background: Lung cancer patients with post-chemotherapy may have disconnected or weakened function connections within brain networks.
    Objective: This study aimed to explore the abnormality of brain functional networks in lung cancer patients with post-chemotherapy by modular edge analysis.
    Methods: Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) scans were performed on 40 patients after chemotherapy, 40 patients before chemotherapy and 40 normal controls. Patients in all three groups were age and sex well-matched. Then, modular edge analysis was applied to assess brain functional network alterations.
    Results: Post-chemotherapy patients had the worst MoCA scores among the three groups (p < 0.001). In intra-modular connections, compared with normal controls, the patients after chemotherapy had decreased connection strengths in the occipital lobe module (p < 0.05). Compared with the nonchemotherapy group, the patients after chemotherapy had decreased connection strengths in the subcortical module (p < 0.05). In inter-modular connections, compared with normal controls, the patients after chemotherapy had decreased connection strength in the frontal-temporal lobe modules (p < 0.05). Compared with the non-chemotherapy group, the patients after chemotherapy had decreased connection strength in the subcortical-temporal lobe modules (p < 0.05).
    Conclusion: The results reveal that chemotherapy can disrupt connections in brain functional networks. As far as we know, the use of modular edge analysis to report changes in brain functional brain networks associated with chemotherapy was rarely reported. Modular edge analysis may play a crucial part in predicting the clinical outcome for the patients after chemotherapy.

    Abstract Peanut is an important food that can cause food allergies, often leading to moderate and severe allergic symptoms such as skin rashes, asthma, and even anaphylactic shock.Research indicates that Ara h 3 is one of the major peanut allergen. In order to establish a simple analytical method for detecting Ara h 3, we developed a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with antibodies that were induced from purified Ara h 3. The experimental results showed that the purified Ara h 3 had good purity, and we successfully prepared capture and detection antibodies. The method established in this study exhibited high specificity and did not cross-react with soybeans, cashew nuts, and sesame. For validation, including precision, recovery and sensitivity were in good condition. We also detected the Ara h 3 in peanut related foods. Overall, the ELISA developed in this study is a reliable method for Ara h 3 detection.

    Abstract The advent of simultaneous wireless information and power (SWIPT) has been regarded as a promising technique to provide power supplies for an energy sustainable Internet of Things (IoT), which is of paramount importance due to the proliferation of high data communication demands of low-power network devices. In such networks, a multi-antenna base station (BS) in each cell can be utilized to concurrently transmit messages and energies to its intended IoT user equipment (IoT-UE) with a single antenna under a common broadcast frequency band, resulting in a multi-cell multi-input single-output (MISO) interference channel (IC). In this work, we aim to find the trade-off between the spectrum efficiency (SE) and energy harvesting (EH) in SWIPT-enabled networks with MISO ICs. For this, we derive a multi-objective optimization (MOO) formulation to obtain the optimal beamforming pattern (BP) and power splitting ratio (PR), and we propose a fractional programming (FP) model to find the solution. To tackle the nonconvexity of FP, an evolutionary algorithm (EA)-aided quadratic transform technique is proposed, which recasts the nonconvex problem as a sequence of convex problems to be solved iteratively. To further reduce the communication overhead and computational complexity, a distributed multi-agent learning-based approach is proposed that requires only partial observations of the channel state information (CSI). In this approach, each BS is equipped with a double deep Q network (DDQN) to determine the BP and PR for its UE with lower computational complexity based on the observations through a limited information exchange process. Finally, with the simulation experiments, we verify the trade-off between SE and EH, and we demonstrate that, apart from the FP algorithm introduced to provide superior solutions, the proposed DDQN algorithm also shows its performance gain in terms of utility to be up to 1.23-, 1.87-, and 3.45-times larger than the Advantage Actor Critic (A2C), greedy, and random algorithms, respectively, in comparison in the simulated environment.
