The gold barb (Barbodes semifasciolatus), a member of the Cyprinidae family, exhibits remarkable adaptability to highly acidic environments, making it an ideal model for studying extreme environmental adaptation. However, its genome has not been previously …
Read PDFGenome-editing technology has advanced significantly since the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded for the development of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9). While CRISPR-Cas9 has become widely …
Read PDFYams (Dioscorea spp.) are a highly important class of horticultural crops, serving as a staple food for millions of people in Africa and contributing significantly to food security. They are also widely cultivated in East …
Read PDFCultivated strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) belongs to the family Rosaceae and is an allo-octoploid species (2n = 8× = 56). Using PacBio Revio long reads of 'Seolhyang', we completed telomere-to-telomere phased genome assemblies with a …
Read PDFBagworms are commonly known for the well-organized case or bag surrounding them constructed using their silk and plant materials. To understand the genetic basis of these unique characteristics in bagworms, we performed multiomics analyses of …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Lizards have sex determination systems that can differ between even closely related species. These include XY and ZW systems, and thermolabile systems where genes and temperature interact to determine sex. The eastern three-lined skink (Bassiana …
Read PDFThe main genetic diversity observed in cultivated citrus results from a reticulate evolution involving four ancestral taxa whose radiation occurred in allopatry. In such context, GWAS analysis, genome diversity and transcriptomic studies will be significantly …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>The khapra beetle (Trogoderma granarium Everts) is among the world's most destructive invasive pests, threatening food security and international trade. Its larvae exhibit exceptional resilience to extreme cold, enabling expansion beyond typical habitats. However, the …
Read PDFThe cotton seed bug, <i>Oxycarenus hyalinipennis,</i> is an agricultural pest that has recently been detected in the United States and has the potential to cause extensive economic damage to the cotton production industry. Currently, there …
Read PDFThe genus Stichopus comprises sea cucumber species that are ecologically and economically valuable, known for their roles in nutrient cycling and as sources of bioactive compounds in traditional medicine. Genomic insights are essential for understanding …
Read PDF<i>Cyclocybe chaxingu</i> is a well-known edible fungus in China, in which pileus size and color are key traits determining its commercial value. However, the molecular genetic mechanisms underlying the morphological development of its pileus remains …
Read PDFArgan (Sideroxylon spinosum L., formerly Argania spinosa) is a tree endemic to Morocco, primarily valued for its seed oil. Growing interest in its biology and in genes linked to oil quality and stress resistance highlights …
Read PDFHere, we introduce a new annotation pipeline, called Eukan, designed to deliver reliably high-quality results across a broad range of eukaryotes. First, experimental evidence is automatically leveraged to refine predictions, specifically, RNA-Seq coverage to inform …
Read PDFPolyunsaturated 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 species in China with substantial economic value, has edible …
Read PDFBitter gourd (Momordica charantia) is an economically important vegetable crop with notable medicinal properties, yet its genetic improvement has been hindered by limited genomic resources and insufficient functional genomics tools. Here, we present a comprehensive …
Read PDFThe Chinese soft-shelled turtle Pelodiscus sinensis is an economically important aquaculture species in Asia for its high nutritional and medicinal values. In recent years, with the continuous development of the P. sinensis breeding industry, the …
Read PDFOver the past several decades, intensive genetic selection has markedly increased growth rate, breast muscle yield, and production efficiency in commercial broilers. These gains have been accompanied by substantial changes in muscle organization, physiology, metabolism, …
Read PDFHigh concentrations of nonesterified fatty acids (NEFAs) are normal metabolites of high-producing dairy cows in a state of negative energy balance (NEB), but they are thought to be strongly associated with reproductive disorders in dairy …
Read PDFPsoralen (PSO) is the active component of <i>Trigonostemon xyphophyllorides</i> (TX) and exhibits therapeutic potential against renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Despite this, there is a lack of research investigating the therapeutic efficacy of PSO specifically on …
Read PDFMeat quality serves as a pivotal determinant of consumer purchasing behavior and of the economic viability of the livestock industry; as such, research into its regulatory mechanisms is of critical significance for the development of …
