(a)
(i) 南北朝
https://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-cn/南北朝北
(420—589; "南朝（420—589）包含宋、齐、梁、陈等四朝l 北朝（439—581）包含北魏、东魏、西魏、北齐和北周等五朝")
• in 420 AD, "刘宋代 [东] 晋"
• in 439, "北魏灭北凉统一华北"
• in 581, "580年北周宣帝 [武帝長子; reign 578-579 (died of illness)] 去世后，权臣杨坚 [a Han Chinese, who was father-in-law of 宣帝] 于隔年废北周静帝 [宣帝長子 AND 杨坚's grandson] 自立，建国隋朝，即隋文帝"  zh.wikipedia.org for "隋灭陈之战."

(b) Shaoqing Wen 文少卿, 复旦大学 进化生物学研究中心 and 科技考古研究院 副教授
(c) "we have successfully generated a 0.343×-coverage genome of Wudi with 1,011,419 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on the 1240k panel."
(i) "0.343×-coverage genome of Wudi"
(A) A genome is the total, complete of an individual (such as human, animal, plant: a term usually reserved for higher organism, not bacteria or virus)
(B) The "0.343×" means a third of his genome, where the "x" means "time" (as in three twice, times).
(ii) SNP means a single-nucleotide difference between individuals. Most of the time, the difference made no difference, but once in a blue moon, a SNP (or, a difference in a single nucleotide may determine eye color, skin color, etc).
(iii) The "1240k" means 1,240,000 (more than a million) SNP that could be different among different persons. That is, among potential 1,249,000 potential differences, this tram obtained 1,011,419, or about a five sixths of SNPs.

(d) CNN mentions "Jeong Hoongwon, an associate professor at Seoul National University’s School of Biological Sciences."
