Abstract Sweet cherry ( Prunus avium ) is an economically significant fruit species in the genus . However, contrast to other important trees this genus, only one draft genome assembly available for sweet cherry, which was assembled using Illumina short-read sequences. The incompleteness and low quality of current limit its use genetic genomic studies. A high-quality chromosome-scale reference therefore needed. total 65.05 Gb Oxford Nanopore long reads 46.24 short were generated,...

A procedure for the synthesis of fluorinated imidazole derivatives from propargyl amidines has been developed. Under gold(I) catalysis, were converted into 5-fluoromethyl imidazoles in presence Selectfluor through a cascade cyclization/fluorination process. In contrast, imidazole-5-carbaldehydes obtained high yields when N-iodosuccinimide (NIS) was used as halogenating reagent. The polarity solvent and light had significant impact on formation carbaldehydes. These transformations showed...

The gold(I)-catalyzed synthesis of 2-fluoroalkyl imidazole derivatives was developed. Catalyzed by gold(I), propargyl amidines underwent a 5-exo-dig cyclization to afford 2-fluoroalkyl-5-methyl imidazoles. Also, imidazole-5-carbaldehydes were obtained in the presence NIS. A mechanism investigation manifested probable process and carbonyl oxygen derived from O(2).

Abstract Rhodium‐catalyzed intramolecular difluoromethylenative dearomatization of phenols to yield azaspirocyclohexadienones containing all‐carbon quaternary centers in good excellent yields was developed. A variety functional groups proved compatible with the transformation. This method could also be used for indoles. Preliminary mechanism studies suggest that a pure radical is not involved this reaction.

A highly efficient method for the synthesis of fluorine-containing multisubstituted phenanthridines through Rh-catalyzed alkyne [2+2+2] cycloaddition reactions has been developed. This exhibits excellent functional-group compatibility. When a bromodifluoromethyl group, rather than trifluoromethyl was employed in reaction, more-complicated polycyclic compounds were obtained tandem cycloaddition/C-H difluoromethylenation. route provides convenient access to compounds.

Abstract The abuse of recombinant erythropoietin (rEPO) and other (EPO) receptor agonists (ERAs) in sports prompted the need for sensitive detection methods these substances. Dried blood spot (DBS) samples offer an easy solution simultaneous collection urine during a doping control, but sensitivity issues are often presented as challenge routine EPO analysis from DBS. Its potential use detecting rEPO micro‐doses gene c.577del variant thus needed further demonstration. Here, capillary...

The sweet cherry ( Prunus avium ) is one of the most economically important fruit species in world. However, there a limited amount genetic information available for this species, which hinders breeding efforts at molecular level. We were able to describe high-quality reference genome assembly and annotation diploid (2 n = 2 x 16) cv. Tieton using linked-read sequencing technology. generated over 750 million clean reads, representing 112.63 GB raw data. Supernova assembler produced more...

Recently, some athletes were repetitively found to have rEPO positive results, including a characterized double-band pattern in blood samples, routine doping analysis. In contrast previous findings from excretion studies, this showed the same relative intensity even when samples collected weeks (/months) apart. We therefore suspected that these "positive" control related with novel pathway of endogenous EPO production. Thus, follow-up investigations warranted characterize origin such...

Catalyzed by ligand free Pd(OAc)(2), 2,5-disubstituted imidazole was prepared in good yield the reaction of fluorinated propargyl amidines with iodoarene. Mechanistic studies indicated that this transformation occurs through a nitropalladation-reductive elimination pathway.

Background: In doping control, the presence of exon5 c.577del variant in human erythropoietin gene may be a confounding factor interpretation results from analytical method currently force for detection recombinant erythropoietin, based on immunoelectrophoresis SDS-PAGE and/or SAR-PAGE. This variant, determining transcription higher molecular weight protein, can erroneously suggest biological sample, causing possibility false positive result. Although was now identified only East Asian...

According to the current Technical Document (TD) for erythropoietin (EPO), SAR-PAGE is most commonly applied method both screening and confirmation procedures. Although this effective robust, it lacks an internal standard (IS) monitor efficiency of analysis each sample covering every step whole procedure, including preparation, immunopurification, western blotting. This needs be recognized by anti-EPO antibodies used immunopurification blotting, respectively. Besides that, band IS could not...
