尊敬的生命之美客户、各位员工、所有关心生命之美的朋友们：
作为一家位于武汉、以RNA技术为中心的公司，我们启动了两个项目，帮助我市抗击新冠病毒疫情。为了让中国读者更清楚地看到最新的研究进展，我们正在将最近发表的所有研究文章/信件及相关通信/编辑评论翻译成中文，并将其发布在我们的网站（www.ablife.cc）和官方微信公众号（生命之美ABLife）上。这个项目从2月6日星期四开始正式启动。另一个项目是开发一种更灵敏可靠的方法，用于快速检测新冠病毒RNA。我们正在，也应该尽我们所能地帮助我们的城市恢复正常的步伐。武汉加油！
同时，我们正在努力工作，以保持我们的步伐推进每一个客户的项目。大多数员工在上星期一开始在网上工作。虽然大家一开始不适应，工作效率比较低，但是这周情况有所好转。我需要在此特别提及，我们的实验室工作受到了严重的阻碍。主要原因是：我们实验室的大部分员工都不在武汉；而且由于与流行病有关的限制，他们无法返回实验室。我们期待我们有望在下周成功开发出的高度敏感和可靠的新冠病毒检测方法，将有助于我们快速将实验室员工招回来。现在，国家自然基金申请的提交截止日期已经推迟了，许多其他地方基金的申请截止日期也被推迟了，学生毕业日期可能也是类似的。我们希望我们在恢复工作节奏方面的认真努力，能继续大力支持我们客户的2020年研究步伐。非常感谢您与ABLife在一起，以及您对武汉新冠病毒疫情造成的任何方面延误的高度理解！
祝您和家人拥有一个健康和昌盛的2020年！

Dear all,
As a company located right in Wuhan and being RNA technology-centered, ABLife has initiated two projects to help our city to combat the 2019-nCov epidemic. To make the recent research progress more visible to Chinese readers, we are translating all the recently published research articles/letters and related correspondence/editorial comments into Chinese and posted it for in our website (www.ablife.cc) and official Wechat site (生命之美). This project was officially started from the last Thursday, February 6. Another project is to develop a more sensitive and reliable method for quick detection of 2019-nCov viral RNA. We are doing what we can do and should do to help our city back to normal pace. Keep it up, Wuhan!
Meanwhile, we are working very hard to keep our pace to move forward each of our customer’s project. Most of employee have started to work online in the last Monday. Although it was much less effective in the beginning, we feel that it is getting better this week. I would like to specifically mention that our laboratory work has been severely hindered due to the fact that most of our lab employee were away from Wuhan and they cannot return to the lab due to the epidemic-related restrictions. We anticipate that our success in developing the highly sensitive and reliable 2019-nCov detection method, hopefully in the coming week, will help us to bring back our lab employee very soon. Now the submission deadline for the National Science Foundation grant applications has been postponed, similar are many other official grant applications and probably the graduation dates. We hope that our serious efforts in restoring our working pace can continue the strong support of our customers’ research pace in 2020.
Thanks so much for being with ABLife, and your understanding of any delay due to the 2019-nCov epidemic in Wuhan.
Wish you and your family a healthy and prosperous 2020!
