Abstract Background Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an escalating public health threat in Africa, driven by high infectious disease burden, unregulated antimicrobial use, limited laboratory capacity, and fragmented sur...

Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is an important pathogen of ruminants worldwide and is characterized by high genetic diversity and a wide range of clinical presentations. In Argentina, several studies have evaluated t...

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...

Yersinia enterocolitica is associated with human clinical manifestations. In this study, the bioserotype distribution, virulence potential, the antimicrobial susceptibility, and the genomic diversity of Y. enterocolitica...

Increased levels of EZH2, a critical regulator of cellular memory, signal the presence of metastasis and poor outcome in breast cancer patients. High levels of EZH2 are associated with nuclear pleomorphism, lack of estro...

The soybean cyst nematode (SCN), Heterodera glycines, remains the most damaging pathogen of soybean worldwide. Genomic advances over the past two decades have transformed our understanding of both the nematode and its 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...

Abstract State-supported research funding agencies are critical to the scientific enterprise. However, it remains unclear how funding agencies cooperate with academic communities to realize common scientific goals. Here,...

The RAG1 and RAG2 genes encode proteins essential for initiating V(D)J recombination in T cell receptor and immunoglobulin gene loci. Biallelic pathogenic variants in these genes are implicated in a spectrum of immunodef...

This study aimed to isolate and characterize lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from traditional Lithuanian fermented foods and evaluate their probiotic potential, safety, and ability to produce tryptophan. Around 20 LAB isolate...

BackgroundT cell receptor excision circle (TREC)-based newborn screening (NBS) for severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) has improved early diagnosis, treatment, and survival of SCID infants and identified additional c...

Abstract Background The global rise of multidrug-resistant Enterobacterales, particularly extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)- and carbapenemase-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, poses a critical ...

Background Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has been the standard treatment procedure for clinically node-negative (cN0) breast cancer (BC). Three randomized trials (Z0011, AMAROS and SENOMAC) have shown that patients w...

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 Integrated chem-bio characterization of microbial strain libraries can streamline natural product discovery by prioritizing candidate producers. Here, we employ language- and transformer-based models to extract ...

The large-scale use of the herbicide glyphosate leads to growing ecotoxicological and human health concerns. Microbe-assisted phytoremediation arises as a good option to remove, contain, or degrade glyphosate from soils ...

Gastropoda, with approximately 80,000 living species, is the largest class of Mollusca. Among gastropods, apple snails (family Ampullariidae) are globally distributed in tropical and subtropical freshwater ecosystems and...

Growth traits represent a main goal in aquaculture breeding programs and may be related to adaptive variation in wild fisheries. Integrating quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping and next generation sequencing can greatl...

Abstract With rapid advances in meat science in recent decades, changes in meat quality during the pre-slaughter phase of muscle growth and the post-slaughter process from muscle to meat have been investigated. Commonly ...

Non-genotoxic carcinogens are substances that induce tumorigenesis by non-mutagenic mechanisms and long term rodent bioassays are required to identify them. Recent studies have shown that transcription profiling can be a...

IntroductionIntestinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, a common and severe clinical condition with high morbidity and mortality, burdens healthcare systems. Our previous investigations established that a nano-delivery...

Objetivou-se com este trabalho realizar o mapeamento de Locos de características quantitativas (QTL) nos cromossomo 16, 17 e 18 de suínos e associar seus efeitos com características de desempenho. Utilizou-se uma popu...

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 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...
