Further analysis of metagenomic datasets containing GD and GX pangolin CoVs indicates widespread contamination, undermining pangolin host attribution
Adrian Jones, Steven E. Massey, Daoyu Zhang +2
The only animals other than bats reported to have been infected with SARS-CoV-2-related coronaviruses (SARS2r-CoVs) prior to the COVID-19 pandemic are pangolins. In early 2020 mult…
Nipah virus vector sequences in COVID-19 patient samples sequenced by the Wuhan Institute of Virology
Steven C. Quay, Daoyu Zhang, Adrian Jones +1
We report the detection of Nipah virus in an infectious clone format, a BSL4-level pathogen and CDC-designated Bioterrorism Agent, in raw RNA-Seq sequencing reads deposited by the…
Analysis of pangolin metagenomic datasets reveals significant contamination, raising concerns for pangolin CoV host attribution
Adrian Jones, Daoyu Zhang, Yuri Deigin +1
Metagenomic datasets from pangolin tissue specimens have previously yielded SARS-related coronaviruses which show high homology in their receptor binding domain to SARS-CoV-2, sugg…
Unexpected novel Merbecovirus discoveries in agricultural sequencing datasets from Wuhan, China
Daoyu Zhang, Adrian Jones, Yuri Deigin +2
In this study we document the unexpected discovery of multiple coronaviruses and a BSL-3 pathogen in agricultural cotton and rice sequencing datasets. In particular, we have identi…
Challenges in Band Alignment between Semiconducting Materials: A Case of Rutile and Anatase TiO
Daoyu Zhang, Shuai Dong
This topical review focuses on the recently active debate on the band alignment between two polymorphs of TiO, rutile and anatase. A summary is given to the popular methods for…
Photocatalytic Behavior of Fluorinated Rutile TiO(110) Surface: Understanding from the Band Model
Huimin Gao, Daoyu Zhang, Minnan Yang +1
Surface fluorination of TiO (F-TiO) has complicate photocatalytic behavior in degradation of organic compounds. This work attempts to establish an elegant scenario based on…
Translating XPS Measurement Procedure for Band Alignment into Reliable Ab-initio Calculation Method
Daoyu Zhang, Minnan Yang, Huimin Gao +1
Band alignment between solids is a crucial issue in condensed matter physics and electronic devices. Although the XPS method has been used as a routine method for determination of…
Electric-Dipole Effect of Defects on Energy Band Alignment of Rutile and Anatase TiO2
Daoyu Zhang, Minnan Yang, Shuai Dong
Titanium dioxide materials have been studied intensively and extensively due to photocatalytic applications. A long-standing open question is the energy band alignment of rutile an…
Improving photocatalytic activity of TiO through reduction
Daoyu Zhang, Minnan Yang, Shuai Dong
The rutile TiO (110) surface reduced by the bridging oxygen vacancy, bridging hydroxyl group or Ti interstitial atom has been investigated by calculating their electronic struc…
Hydroxylation of Rutile TiO (110) Surface Enhancing Its Reducing Power for Photocatalysis
Daoyu Zhang, Minnan Yang, Shuai Dong
Hydroxylation of the rutile TiO (110) surface has attracted much attention as the excess unpaired electrons introduced by hydroxyls play a critical role in surface chemistry an…
