Birds of prey (raptors) are dominant apex predators in terrestrial communities, with hawks (Accipitriformes) and falcons (Falconiformes) hunting by day owls (Strigiformes) night.Here, we report new genomes transcriptomes for 20 species birds, including 16 birds prey, high-quality reference the Eurasian eagle-owl (Bubo bubo), oriental scops owl (Otus sunia), eastern buzzard (Buteo japonicus), common kestrel (Falco tinnunculus). Our extensive genomic analysis comparisons non-raptor identify...
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most commonly occurring malignant tumor in oral cavity. In South Korea, it occurs frequently mandible, tongue, maxilla, buccal mucosa, other areas of cavity, and lips. Radial forearm free flap (RFFF) widely used reconstruction method for mucosal defect. The scar donor, however, highly visible unsightly, a secondary surgical site needed when such technique applied. For these reasons, fat pad (BFP) has been closing post-surgical excision sites since recent...
Molecular comparison of species belonging to the genus Junonia collected from Myanmar was completed using mtDNA sequence data 605-bp cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI). Six were sequenced, aligned, and used construct phylogenetic trees. The base composition COI sequences 37.8% T, 15.4% C, 31.4% A, G, revealing strong AT bias (69.2%). distance ranged 1.5% 9.0%. Nucleotide substitution primarily occurred through transition rather than transversion. Phylogenetic trees constructed by...
