维生素
https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%BB%B4%E7%94%9F%E7%B4%A0
维生素(英语:Vitamin)是一系列有机化合物的统称。它们是生物体所需要的微量营养成分,而一般又无法由生物体自己生产,需要通过饮食等手段获得。维生素不能像糖类、蛋白质及脂肪那样可以产生能量,组成细胞,但是它们对生物体的新陈代谢起调节作用。缺乏维生素会导致严重的健康问题;适量摄取维生素可以保持身体强壮健康;过量摄取维生素却会导致中毒。
维生素分为两种,水溶性维生素和脂溶性维生素。“水溶性维生素”易溶于水而不易溶于非极性有机溶剂,吸收后体内贮存很少,过量的多从尿中排出,且容易在烹调中遇热破坏;“脂溶性维生素”易溶于非极性有机溶剂,而不易溶于水,可随脂肪为人体吸收并在体内储积,排泄率不高。每一种维生素通常会产生多种反应,因此大多数维生素都有多种功能[4]。
人体一共需要13种维生素,其中包括4种脂溶性维生素(维生素A,D,E,K)和9种水溶性维生素(8种维生素B,维生素C)。
通常从食物中正常摄取维生素不会存在过量的问题,但是食用过多维生素药品就有可能发生危险。

genome wide crisp screen in human pancreatic tumor cell line
* Nature medicine, 2017. genome wide SCRIPS screens reveal a Wnt-FZD5 signaling circuit as a druggable vulnerability of RNF43 mutant pancreativ tumaors

From
the paper, Bayes Factor BF is the confidence of a gene caucses a decrease in
fitness. So, high BF indicates decrease in fitness (essential genes), and low
BF indicate proliferation.
FZD5 genes shows highest BF factor in 3 pancreatic cancer cell lines, but not in other cells lines. Hence, its essentiality is "context sensitive".

NIH proposal FAQs
page limits
https://grants.nih.gov/grants/how-to-apply-application-guide/format-and-write/page-limits.htm
Font (size, color, type density) and Line Spacing
Adherence to font size, type density, line spacing and text color requirements is necessary to ensure readability and fairness. Although font requirements apply to all attachments, they are most important and most heavily scrutinized in attachments with page limits.
Text in your attachments must follow these minimum requirements:
- Font size: Must be 11 points or larger. Smaller text in figures, graphs, diagrams and charts is acceptable, as long as it is legible when the page is viewed at 100%.
- Some PDF conversion software reduces font size. It is important to confirm that the final PDF document complies with the font requirements.
- Type density: Must be no more than 15 characters per linear inch (including characters and spaces).
- Line spacing: Must be no more than six lines per vertical inch.
- Text color: No restriction. Though not required, black or other high-contrast text colors are recommended since they print well and are legible to the largest audience.
We recommended the following fonts, although other fonts (both serif and non-serif) are acceptable if they meet the above requirements.
- Arial
- Georgia
- Helvetica
- Palatino Linotype
Legibility is of paramount importance. Applications that include PDF attachments that do not conform to the minimum requirements listed above may be withdrawn from consideration.
paper and margin
https://grants.nih.gov/grants/how-to-apply-application-guide/format-and-write/format-attachments.htm#papersizeandmargins
- Use paper size no larger than standard letter paper size (8 ½" x 11”).
- Provide at least one-half inch margins (½" ) - top, bottom, left, and right - for all pages. No applicant-supplied information can appear in the margins.
