Abstract The nematode Ditylenchus destructor comprises multiple haplotypes with distinct host preferences, while the genetic basis remains unclear. We generate three genomes (Haplotypes A, B, and C) using hybrid assembly...

Abstract Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are commonly used as probiotics; however, not all LAB strains have the same beneficial effects. To successfully use LAB as probiotics in canines, LAB species should originate from the ...

Abstract Background Venom cocktails of cone snails are characterized by their dynamic composition and the rapid evolution of toxin-encoding genes due to various selective pressures. The integration of comparative genomic...

Abstract Background Comparative studies of mitochondrial genomes can assist in determining evolutionary and phylogenetic relationships. In the Ceratocystidaceae fungal family, mitochondrial genomes from only two genera a...

Abstract Medicinal leeches are rich in various antithrombotic components, holding significant pharmaceutical value. To investigate the differences in potential antithrombotic capacity among species, this study utilized t...

Abstract Theileriosis, a tick-borne disease caused by apicomplexan parasites of the genus Theileria, poses a major constraint to livestock productivity worldwide. Existing chemotherapeutics are increasingly limited by ho...

With c. 24 700 species (10% of all flowering plants), Asteraceae are one of the largest and most phenotypically diverse angiosperm families, with considerable economic and ecological importance. Asteraceae are distribute...

The root-lesion nematode Pratylenchus vulnus parasitizes a wide range of hosts, including woody perennials such as walnut (Juglans regia) and grapevine (Vitis vinifera), significantly damaging roots and reducing yields. ...

Background Genetic recombination maps provide important frameworks for comparative genomics, identifying gene functions, assembling genome sequences and for breeding. The molecular recombination map currently available ...

Abstract Background Carbapenem-resistant Citrobacter freundii is increasingly reported and recognized as an opportunistic host of mobile carbapenemase-encoding elements in healthcare-associated settings. However, lineage...

ABSTRACT Streptococcus gallolyticus subsp. gallolyticus (SGG) is a bacterial pathogen implicated in bacteremia and endocarditis and is often associated with colon tumors in elderly individuals. The development of colorec...

Craniofacial morphogenesis is a highly coordinated developmental process governed by complex genetic and molecular interactions. Among these, the PAX family of transcription factors plays a pivotal role in the regulation...

The World Health Organization has identified ST23 carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-hvKP) as a critical public health threat. Through China’s national surveillance system (BRICS), we identifi...

Abstract Studying microbial biodiversity offers enormous potential for improving the valorisation of plant biomass, particularly in conversion processes. Microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi, yeasts and algae, play an...

Abstract Objectives Cerastium davuricum Fisch. ex Spreng. is distributed in European Russia to Mongolia and West Himalaya, and leaves are traditionally used for cooking and drying. Unfortunately, there have not been enou...

Abstract Background Comparative genomics and plastome phylogenomics have advanced significantly in recent years, highlighting the diversity, possible admixture, and non-neutral evolution of the predominantly considered n...

Abstract Background Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) represents a group of chronic and relapsing inflammatory disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, primarily encompassing Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis ...

Abstract Background Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a leading cause of heart failure, often resulting in reduced ejection fraction and progressive cardiac dysfunction. Although up to half of idiopathic DCM can be linked ...
