Polyphenism is a successful strategy adopted by organisms to adapt environmental changes. Brown planthoppers (BPH, Nilaparvata lugens) develop two wing phenotypes, including long-winged (LW) and short-winged (SW) morphs. Though insulin receptor (InR) juvenile hormone (JH) have been known regulate polyphenism in BPH, the interaction between these regulators remains largely elusive. Here, we discovered that conserved microRNA, miR-34, modulates positive autoregulatory feedback loop of JH...

Thanks to the abundant spectral bands, hyperspectral videos (HSVs) are able describe objects at material level, i.e., physical property, providing more benefits for object tracking than color videos. Considering limited HSV dataset training, a band attention aware ensemble network was recently proposed tracking, which leverages select several three-channel images deep tracking. However, it fails fully consider joint spectral-spatial-temporal information in HSVs, compromising its performance...
Animal venom systems have emerged as valuable models for investigating how novel polygenic phenotypes may arise from gene evolution by varying molecular mechanisms. However, a significant portion of genes produce alternative mRNA isoforms that not been extensively characterized, hindering comprehensive understanding biology. In this study, we present full-length isoform-level profiling workflow integrating multiple RNA sequencing technologies, allowing us to reconstruct high-resolution...
Allergies have become an emerging public health problem worldwide. The most effective way to prevent allergies is find the causative allergen at source and avoid re-exposure. However, of current computational methods used identify allergens were based on homology or conventional machine learning methods, which inefficient still had room be improved for detection with low homology. In addition, few deep reported, although has been successfully applied several tasks in protein sequence...
Hymenoptera comprise extremely diverse insect species with extensive variation in their life histories. The Dryinidae, a family of solitary wasps Hymenoptera, have evolved innovations that allow them to hunt using venom and pair chelae developed from the fore legs can grasp prey. Dryinidae larvae are also parasitoids Auchenorrhyncha, group including common pests such as planthoppers leafhoppers. Both these traits make effective valuable for pest control, but little is yet known about genetic...
Abstract Background A fundamental feature of parasitism is the nutritional exploitation host organisms by their parasites. Parasitoid wasps lay eggs on arthropod hosts, exploiting them for nutrition to support larval development using diverse effectors aimed at regulating metabolism. However, genetic components and molecular mechanisms basis such exploitation, especially utilization amino acid resources, remain largely unknown. To address this question, here, we present a chromosome-level...
