Near extinction of the HBV quasispecies driven by the hard selective sweep in chronic hepatitis B by Daiqiang Lu, Andong He, Guichan Liao, Renyu Zhou, Zichun Cheng, Ka Cheuk Yip, Xiufang Wang, Wei Cao, Jiaojiao Peng, Ruiman Li, Jie Peng, Feng Gao

“…The nearly identical viral population suggests that all these viruses are from a single source. Predominant mutations were identified in known T cell epitopes but not in epitopes for neutralizing antibodies, indicating that the hard selective sweep is most likely driven by T cell selection pressure. …”

Identification of swine- specific microbial genetic markers using competitive DNA hybridization by FAN Lihua, MO Hongfei, ZHANG Xiaofeng, SHUAI Jiangbing, CHEN Qing

“…The putative protein transcript of each sequence was analyzed based on the similarity of gene sequences by using BLASTX with the GenBank non-redundant database，and their biochemical functions were therefrom predicted.Sequence analyses of five hundred randomly selected clones from the libraries obtained by three rounds of metagenomic GFE revealed that this subset contained a total of 384 non-redundant sequences and most sequences (87%) ranged from 400 bp to 600 bp in size. …”

Code vulnerability detection method based on graph neural network by Hao CHEN, Ping YI

“…The schemes of using neural networks for vulnerability detection are mostly based on traditional natural language processing ideas, processing the code as array samples and ignoring the structural features in the code, which may omit possible vulnerabilities.A code vulnerability detection method based on graph neural network was proposed, which realized function-level code vulnerability detection through the control flow graph feature of the intermediate language.Firstly, the source code was compiled into an intermediate representation, and then the control flow graph containing structural information was extracted.At the same time, the word vector embedding algorithm was used to initialize the vector of basic block to extract the code semantic information.Then both of above were spliced to generate the graph structure sample data.The multilayer graph neural network model was trained and tested on graph structure data features.The open source vulnerability sample data set was used to generate test data to evaluate the method proposed.The results show that the method effectively improves the vulnerability detection ability.…”
