Abstract Digitalis purpurea (foxglove) is a widely distributed ornamental plant. Here, we present a long read sequencing-based genome sequence of a magenta flowering D. purpurea plant and a corresponding prediction of ge...

Abstract Background Usually Multiple Amino acids Move In and Out Transporters (UMAMITs), belonging to the MtN21/EamA-like/UMAMIT superfamily, play vital roles in amino acid transport, nodule formation, and nitrogen fixat...

IntroductionAlthough immune responses to Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) vaccination and susceptibility to mycobacterial infection vary across individuals, the underlying cellular mechanisms regulating this heterogenei...

Abstract Background Laccases (LACs) are multicopper oxidases that play vital roles in lignin polymerization, cell wall formation, and various stress responses in plants. Despite their importance, genome-wide investigatio...

Stellaria Radix, known as Yinchaihu (YCH) in traditional Chinese medicine, is derived from the dried roots of Stellaria dichotoma L. var. lanceolata Bge. Despite its clinical importance in treating pediatric febrile cond...

Abstract Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are important nutrients that play critical roles in sea urchin reproduction and early development. Strongylocentrotus intermedius, the only commercially cultured sea urchin sp...

Abstract In the current study, the probiotic potential of approximately 250 strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from piglet fecal samples were investigated; among them Lactobacillus plantarum strain JDFM LP11,...

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...

We report the first genome sequence of a Colocasia bobone disease-associated virus (CBDaV) derived from bobone-affected taro [Colocasia esculenta L. Schott] from Solomon Islands. The negative-strand RNA genome is 12,193 ...

Abstract Objective Streptococcus shenyangsis is a recently reported member of the genus Streptococcus, rarely detected in the human oral cavity and for which genomic information remains limited. To broaden our understand...

Abstract Genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screens are often used to experimentally evaluate gene function. However, the efficacy of individual sgRNAs targeting unique genes varies and is difficult to integrate. In this s...

Abstract Background Antenatal hydronephrosis (AHN) is a common urological abnormality identified during prenatal ultrasound examination, with heterogeneous underlying causes. This study aimed to investigate the genetic e...

Abstract Carbapenemase-producing Acinetobacter baumannii (CP-Ab) is a critical priority pathogen. Between October 2019 and September 2020, a multicentre study was conducted at four Ethiopian hospitals: Tikur Anbessa and ...

Abstract Human genome-editing is banned by guidelines, laws and regulations in most countries. However, the first criminal case on genome-edited babies was sentenced in China in 2019. In this commentary we discuss our le...

Genome-wide association (GWA) studies based on GBLUP models are a common practice in animal breeding. However, effect sizes of GWA tests are small, requiring larger sample sizes to enhance power of detection of rare vari...

ABSTRACT Genome engineering plays a crucial role in the rapidly growing fields of metabolic engineering and synthetic biology. Chromosomal integration and stable expression of functional genes or large metabolic pathways...

Our past, present, and future are governed by the grand design of the genetic blueprint, which was mapped more than two decades back. While the eloquent design of our genome results from millions of years of evolution a...

Abstract Background Several cyanobacterial strains are known to contain a high number of genome copies and elevated cell cycle dynamics. We systematically investigated the ploidy of the model cyanobacterium Synechocystis...

We present a genome assembly from a female specimen of Limenitis reducta (Southern White Admiral; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Nymphalidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 397.72 megabase...

We present a genome assembly from a male specimen of Hipparchia fagi (Woodland Grayling; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Nymphalidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 380.62 megabases and 381...

We present a genome assembly from an individual nematode Ostertagia ostertagi (Rhabditida, Trichostrongylidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 407.17 megabases. Most of the assembly sequence (99.3%) was assign...

IntroductionLow temperatures cause flower prematurely of tobacco sensitive variety, severely impacting its yield and quality. MethodsTo uncover the molecular mechanisms underlying cold-induced early flowering in tobacco,...

BackgroundMango (Mangifera indica L.) is an economically important tropical fruit crop, yet the genomic diversity of mango germplasm from the Jazan region of Saudi Arabia—the country's primary production hub—remains ...

Abstract The Leschenault’s rousette (Rousettus leschenaultii) represents a medium-sized bat of the genus Rousettus that feeds on fruits or flowers, mainly distributed in Southeast Asia. Here, we generated a chromosome-...
