Microsoft has developed an intelligent mosquito trap that can effectively prevent the spread of more than 80 diseases such as Zika, dengue fever and malaria, and is regarded as the biggest innovation in this field for decades. The mosquito trap is part of Microsoft's "Project Premonition" project, which uses the mosquito trap method developed by Microsoft. Specifically, the mosquito trap is in the form of a can, with a tripod, and 64 "chambers" that trap mosquitoes, which attract mosquitoes by emitting carbon dioxide. When a mosquito enters a jar, it is exposed to infrared light and then determines the type of mosquito based on the difference in light reflection. If a certain type of mosquito flies into the can, the spring-loaded door will automatically close. Next, the computer in the mosquito trap will continue to analyze the mosquito and analyze the data back to the laboratory. If the infrared light is not sure if the mosquito is of the type to be captured, the door will be opened to allow the mosquito to fly out. This mosquito trap is extremely stable, can withstand wind and rain, and is not affected by other extreme weather. It can catch mosquitoes 24 hours a day. The mosquito trap has two microprocessors built in, and it has Microsoft machine learning capability. It can automatically record the temperature, wind and humidity when capturing mosquitoes, and transmit the data to the cloud via Bluetooth for researchers to analyze. Microsoft said that the original intention of developing such a mosquito trap was not to eliminate mosquitoes, but to control various diseases transmitted through mosquitoes, such as Zika, dengue fever and malaria. In addition, Microsoft does not currently sell this mosquito trap as a commodity, but only for scientific research and public health.
The RNA purification kit is used to purify and recover RNA molecules transcribed in vitro and total RNA extracted from various materials, which can effectively remove contaminating impurities in RNA samples. The recovery rate of this product can reach 80%, and the OD260/OD280 ratio of the obtained RNA is generally about 2.0, which can be directly used in subsequent sensitive experiments (such as microarray analysis, fluorescence RT-PCR, etc.). With the deepening of transcriptomics, the complexity of RNA types, expression regulation and functions is far beyond our imagination.

Removing ribosomal RNAs that account for more than 80% helps to focus sequencing on less abundant but informative RNAs. At present, the removal of rRNA is mainly through the combined use of probe and RNase H. The processed RNA will be mixed with many digestion products, enzymes and ions, which is not conducive to the subsequent construction of RNA library. Take the Columnar RNA Purification Kit as an example. Trizol is a ready-to-use reagent that can be used to purify total RNA from tissues and cells. This is a single-phase solution of phenol and guanidine isothiocyanate that facilitates lysis of tissues and cells, inhibiting RNases to maintain RNA integrity.
