Development Cooperation Agency (Sida). Bin Liu is employed in a private company (Nei
Mongol BioNew Technology Co.Ltd). However, the company had no any role in funding
any part of the research except paying salary of the author (Bin Liu). The specific
role of the author is articulated in the ‘author contributions’ section.
