Line strain representation and shear strain representation of 3D strain states
PLOS ONE, 2021 The strain state in 3D space is usually expressed by the conventional method of combining three linear and shear strains. Due to the obvious differences between the first two strains, it is necessary to uncover their properties when describing deformation, studying yield and failure, and developing test apparatus or equipment.

Allogeneic Transplantation of Testicular Hyperplasia in rag1 Mutant Zebrafish
Bio-Protocol, 2016 Allogeneic organ transplantation is a powerful tool for clinical and basic research studies. However, the graft is often rejected by the host organism. Here, we describe a protocol that uses immunodeficient rag1 mutant zebrafish.

Scalable Microbial Strain Inference in Metagenomic Data Using StrainFacts
Frontiers in Bioinformatics, 2022 While genome databases are nearing a complete catalog of species commonly inhabiting the human gut, their representation of intraspecific diversity is lacking for all but the most abundant and frequently studied taxa.
