The segmentation of Chinese texts is a key process in Chinese information processing. The difficulties in segmentation are the process of ambiguous character string and unknown Chinese words. In order to obtain the correct result, the first is identification of all possible candidates of Chinese words in a text. In this paper, a data structure Chinese-character-net is put forward, then, based o...

conclusions trim22 gene ring domain -364t/c polymorphism is associated with chronic hbv infection in chinese han population. results 243 (31.76%) of 765 chinese han patients showed genetic variation in the trim22 gene. trim22 snps were mainly in ring area -364t/c site, accounting for 98.35% of the population. there were no significant differences (p > 0.05) in the ring domain -364t/c snp and al...

background: transient gene expression (tge) gained popularity over the last decade as a rapid method for the production of milligram to gram quantities of recombinant proteins for preclinical studies in biophama industry. thereby, the optimization of the tge technique for chinese hamster ovary (cho) as the dominant host for the production of biotherapeutics is of great interest to reach the val...

objective: development of high producing mammalian cell lines is a major bottleneck in manufacturing of recombinant therapeutic proteins. this study examines the effect of using the matrix attachment region from the human interferon beta gene in combination with promoter activation strategy with e1a 13s protein on human tissue plasminogen activator (t-pa) expression in chinese hamster ovary (ch...
