Assistant professor SU Xiaoquan and WANG Xuetao, from Bioinformatics Group of Single Cell Center, at Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), have proposed highly efficient algorithm name GPU-Meta-Storms to evaluate the similarities among microbial communities based on General-Purpose computing on Graphics Processing Units (GPGPU).
IVPP researchers reported some new material of the Eocene ischyromyids from the Huheboerhe area in the Erlian Basin, Nei Mongol, China. These include Asiomys dawsoni from the basal strata of the Irdin Manha Formation and Ischyromyidae gen. et sp. indet. from the basal strata of the Arshanto Formation. The new materials include fragmentary mandibles and numerous cheek teeth, which provide new evidence for mammal’s dispersal between Asia and North America during the Middle Eocene.
Recent experiments performed on the EAST superconducting tokamak in the Institute of Plasma Physics in Hefei, China have demonstrated the sustainment of high temperature plasmas in the so-called H-mode confinement regime over a record timescale of more than 30 seconds, as reported in the journal Nature Physics.
Under the guidance of Dr. SONG Baoliang, PhD student LI Peishan identified an endocytic signal in the cytoplasmic C-terminal tail of NPC1L1. Cholesterol binding on the N-terminal domain of NPC1L1 released the endocytic motif from association with plasma membrane and enabled Numb binding. Numb, a clathrin adaptor, specifically recognized this motif and recruited clathrin for internalization.
Dr. YOU Hailu and his collaborators described a new dinosaur, Taohelong jinchengensis gen. et sp. nov., based on material from the Lower Cretaceous Hekou Group in Lanzhou-Minhe Basin, north-central China. Taohelong represents the first occurrence of polacanthine in Asia, and provides new data for studying the evolution and biogeography of polacanthine.
