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 Background Temperate phages play a central role in the evolution and pathogenicity of Staphylococcus aureus. Sa3int phages provide highly human-specific virulence factors that promote immune evasion and survival...

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-...

Abstract Ichthyurus bourgeoisi Gestro is a representative species of the tribe Ichthyurini within the beetle family Cantharidae. This tribe is particularly noteworthy because of its brachelytrous characteristics. However...

Abstract Gymnodiptychus pachycheilus, a specialized schizothoracinae fish, exhibits remarkable morphological regression, such as near-complete scale loss, making it an important model for understanding the genomic basis ...

Abstract The teak defoliator, Hyblaea puera, is a major pest damaging teak plantations and mangrove ecosystems. The high reproductive and dispersal capacities of this pest often lead to sudden and explosive outbreaks, po...

Abstract Precisely controlling the two-dimensional (2-D) modular assembly of monolayer micelle building blocks into free-standing highly-ordered mesoporous crystalline nanomeshes with adjustable pore periodicity and conf...

Abstract Microorganisms play key roles in nutrient cycling and soil remediation in saline-alkaline ecosystems. However, how their assembly rules and interaction networks change during natural succession remains unclear. ...

Fish diversity is often challenging due to its labor-intensive and time-consuming, particularly when it comes to detecting rare and endemic fishes in fast-flowing waters. Environmental DNA metabarcoding has emerged as a ...

Abstract Termites belong to the infraorder Isoptera within the order Blattodea. Reticulitermes chinensis Snyder, a species in the Rhinotermitidae family, remains a major pest causing severe damage to wooden structures in...

Abstract Phyllospadix iwatensis is a unique seagrass species adapted to rocky substrate anchorage and dioecy and belongs to marine submerged flowering plants with a distinctive evolutionary history. The chromosomal-scale...

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...

Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) such as bacteriophages and plasmids profoundly shape microbial community structure and drive horizontal gene transfer across ecosystems. Wastewater treatment systems, with their high cell d...

Horticultural growing media (GM) are increasingly expected to provide reliable biological functions, yet microbial inoculants and native microbiota often perform inconsistently. We argue that this variability arises beca...

Abstract Background The seed microbiome plays a key role in the assembly of the plant microbiome, which has major impacts on plant health. Nonetheless, little is known about the origin of the seed microbiome. We investig...

Abstract Background Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a key mitochondrial electron carrier and a widely used dietary supplement with potential neurological benefits. However, the mechanisms underlying its effect in ameliorating me...

ABSTRACT The River Continuum Concept (RCC) proposes links between functional groups within assemblages with habitat and ecological characteristics of different river sizes. This theory is supported by extensive evidence ...

Abstract Bacteriophages constitute a major component of the human gut virome, playing very important roles in shaping of the structure and function of the gut microbiota. Moreover, bacteriophages interact with the human ...

Fowl adenovirus serotype 11 (FAdV-11) causes inclusion body hepatitis, posing a persistent threat to poultry health. However, the genetic determinants governing its pathogenicity remain unclear. Comparative analysis of p...

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 Elevated levels of the gut-derived metabolite trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) are associated with atherosclerosis and thrombotic disorders, yet the molecular basis of its contribution to these pathologies remains ...

In seeking to assess the effectiveness of any particular listening, discerning, or consultative approach, it is useful to recall the purpose for which the process is being adopted. This paper briefly returns to the purpo...

Abstract Objective Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kp) is a clinically prevalent opportunistic pathogen, with escalating antimicrobial resistance posing substantial challenges. Current vaccine strategies are constrained by the...

Lignin, the most abundant aromatic polymer from nature, represents a promising feedstock for sustainable functional materials. Yet its intrinsic structural heterogeneity and broad molecular weight distribution limit its ...
