Abstract
In 2011 the 5-steps rule [1] was proposed. Ever since then, it has been stimulating the development in many areas of molecular biology (see e.g, [1-46]), indicating the “5-steps rule” is extremely important. It can be schematically expressed in Figure 1.
Introduction
In 2011 the 5-steps rule [1] was proposed. Ever since then, it has been stimulating the development in many areas of molecular bi- ology (see e.g, [1-46]), indicating the “5-steps rule” is extremely important. It can be schematically expressed in Figure 1.
