Control Approaches to Soil Pollution from Heavy Metals

With the continuous development of human society and economy and the continuous progress of industrial technology,more and more pollutants are discharged into the natural environment,and soil environment is also affected at the same time. Among pollutants leading to soil pollution,heavy metals have resulted in most serious soil pollution. Here,many control and restoration approaches to soil pollution from heavy metals are proposed,and characteristics and applicable conditions of various methods are compared,so as to provide theoretical references for the control and restoration of soil pollution from heavy metals in future.

Long noncoding RNA study:Genome-wide approaches

Long noncoding RNAs(lncRNAs)have been confirmed to play a crucial role in various biological processes across several species.Though many efforts have been devoted to the expansion of the lncRNAs landscape,much about lncRNAs is still unknown due to their great complexity.The development of high-throughput technologies and the constantly improved bioinformatic methods have resulted in a rapid expansion of lncRNA research and relevant databases.In this review,we introduced genome-wide research of lncRNAs in three parts:(i)novel lncRNA identification by high-throughput sequencing and computational pipelines;(ii)functional characterization of lncRNAs by expression atlas profiling,genome-scale screening,and the research of cancer-related lncRNAs;(iii)mechanism research by large-scale experimental technologies and computational analysis.Besides,primary experimental methods and bioinformatic pipelines related to these three parts are summarized.This review aimed to provide a comprehensive and systemic overview of lncRNA genome-wide research strategies and indicate a genome-wide lncRNA research system.
